Hey everybody,

Hope this doesn't seem like a stupid question, but some of our bud site branches are spreading out so much and slightly flopping and growing against the wall in our smaller than we'd like grow space..

I was wondering if tying all the bud site branches to the main stem, not tight, but taught so all the bud's grow and develope up the main stem is possible..

Would this damage the plant? shock the plant or disturb natural growth in any way???

Nope LST rules

lol, not LST as such, more like... tying the buds to the main stem.

So doing this will help the buds grow into the big cola in the middle right?

They still wont get as much light as the tops but it will help them for sure. Like i said we do it all the time. We are doing it with a few of the plants right now that we have in flower. Give it a shot mang it wont hurt them trust me. ;)

great man now that the kids are off vaction lol been out of work for a few weeks sense that safty crap but alls good. waiting for my budz too have smoke some but cant wait for the full harvest:banana: :dancing: :48: :afroweed: :bong:
 
:) :) Me again fokes ...yep supporting is well good for all ...:)

Try using elastic ...eg..(fishing pole stuff , light grade) this allows the
branch to bounce and be supported at the same time , so as your fan pushes air past it it can still swing in the air creating natural stress and more flower power.....:D
 
Hey thumb you talking something like tiebud but only when the plant is growing? If thats the case I never did that.
 
well, we didnt tie up all the buds on both plants, we decided to tie up the buds reaching to the cola. hopefully those buds will mingle with the flowers on the cola and give us a fatter top...

fingers crossed eh lol
