LST my plant won’t listen

Troubleshooting
1

I seen on YouTube this guy use a piece of string bend the plant over and just use a clamp to do his LST. I have tried this method however my plants are very stubborn and within a few hours I find them popped back up again. How can I stop them popping back up? They don’t want to listen. :joy::joy:

Have to tie it down more securely. Use the edge
Of a pot, weight, just about anything.

3

The LST clips would also be a good option.

I use small binder clips that I purchased in 25 count packages.

Good afternoon @Wyldepurplewizard
Do you have any pictures? Are you referring to the end of the branch that you tied does turning back up?
Happy Growing :blush::v:

It’s amazing how quickly a bent branch will start to grow back up towards the light. I just add more tie-downs and wait for it to do it again. If your tie-downs aren’t secure enough the plant will straighten back up completely like it never happened.

I have a woody teen tied down with yarn and binder clips. I have some cool adjustable LST thingies I bought on eBay coming soon.

Use soft training wire to hold them down poke a hole in yah pot wrap soft training wire around the the branch and then poke the wire through the hole and tie it off or u can get lst clips

I started week 4. I thought was plenty early but too late to do how you are doing it. I am using the LST clips now I have leaves growing on top of leaves. Also I have a few massive fan leaves that are sucking up light from the underbrush. I don’t think I should chop them because their attached to not normal leaf stems but giant celery sticks. Their bigger then the main stem.

On my photo, I want ahead and chopped the largest three leaves because it has time to recover.

On my autos, I tied some large fan leaves out of the way because I couldn’t keep them from shading undergrowth and didn’t want to risk stunting them.

I’ve really beat the heck out of the plants and they never show any bad effects. With an auto before I did LST. I literally chopped off 6 inches because it was too big and in the middle of flower I chopped down a foot and a half and it didn’t bother the plant. This other plant I literally dropped it 3 feet and it fell sideways it did damage a stem but the plant is very young so it seems to be not a problem. I am somewhat rough bending using the LST and the plants seem uneffected. These plants are strong.
