New Grower LST- better before or after watering?

[Dr. Babnik]

That sounds absolutely terrifying!!!

It was terrifying until I started training plants. Listening to the inside of the stem bring crushed for the first time is scary. After 3 times, you start to get the feeling in your fingers. The results are very very good. Miss Supercropped grow so fast, I have to change and adjust her bondage every 3-4 days. I hope the White Widows decide to flower soon.

I don't think I'm quite there yet. I'm still half afraid to touch mine... I have, however, come to the realization, after deleting and retyping this reply a few times, that when discussing LST and supercropping, there's just no way around it sounding dirty.

Before watering the Plant is before much flexible

It doesn't matter...
I've done both. However, I give them a pint with snacks, mostly minerals and my favourite Urtica after treatment, if it was a rough supercropping.

The netle brew GHE Urtica is a wonderful tonic! It gives stems of steel. I feed it to all my plants twice a week and an occational foilar feeding on vegging plants. I have seen old stems change and seesdlings get strong, fibreous stems.

I'm with Andi. Plants become more turgid when there is plenty of water available, although I guess that they need to be a bit water stressed to soften significantly. Whilst you can often get away with it on a recently watered plant, bending before watering seems to be less likely to result in a break for me.
