To understand LST you need to figure out what you are trying to achieve to make the best use of it.
Bending the plant over now is not going to achieve much besides move it sideways.
The growth point and nodes below are too close, if you bend, she will just turn up and spend energy to turn to the light and that will put you back at square 1 pretty much.
You want the growth point to get some distance from the 1st few nodes for LST to be effective.
Imagine turning this plant 90degrees and then imagine turning a 1m/3ft plant 90degrees.
The small plant will have a bend at the bottom of the stem, but the whole plant will grow up straight.
The big plant will turn into a 1m wide bush with all the branches going up from the main stem.
This is obviously exaggerating the point, but hopefully gets the idea across.

The pressure drop caused by a bend represents a loss of energy or efficiency within the system. It requires more pumping power to overcome this resistance and maintain the desired flow rate.
Whether it's lst or hst, once recovered from initial stress think how it effects the hydraulic system of the plant as a whole.
The highest yields will always come from a plant with smooth hydraulic channels with the least sharp bends. (Resistance)
The pressure drop caused by a bend represents a loss of energy or efficiency within the system. It requires more pumping power to overcome this resistance and maintain the desired flow rate, any bend over 90 will.come close to doubling the amount of energy required to force liquid around that bend.
It's a plant.
It's a energy processing plant.

LST - am I doing it right? Stacked nodes on autos make this finnickyIs anyone able to give me some feedback on my LST and tucking technique? I am growing 3 autos in little 2 gallon pots and one in particular is ridiculously stacked/dense in its node development (the Godzilla Cookies Auto,, first photos!). Should I bend more/tie lower/more?

First LST attempt, any good?How did I do with my first LST attempt? I know it's a bit of an artform but one looks a lot prettier than the other! I was trying to bend them over and tuck to expose all the likely budding sites to light. Anything I should do differently? Thanks!

Hello fellow growers,
It's my first grow so I'm a bit scared to start LSTing it, i mostly waited for it to grow higher and then do some LST but since she get bushier than higher I don't really know what to do.
I also would like to defoliate it
Can I start LST and defoliation?
