Ayo, Gettin’ Pro with LST, HST, and Supercroppin’ – Growin’ that Herb Inside!
Yo, listen up fam! If you tryna step ya grow game up, you gotta know ’bout them advanced techniques for cultivatin’ that good bud. We talkin’ ’bout Low Stress Training (LST), High Stress Training (HST), and Supercroppin’. These methods ain’t just some fancy words, they can really boost the yield and quality of your stash. So, let’s break it down for ya.
Low Stress Training (LST)
Aight, first up is LST. This technique is all about keepin’ it chill with your plants. You ain’t tryna break ‘em, just bend ‘em a lil’. You take them branches and gently pull ‘em down, tie ‘em up if you gotta, and what that do is create a nice even canopy.
By spreadin’ them branches out, light gets to the lower parts of the plant, makin’ them buds pop up like popcorn. You wanna start this when your plant is still in the vegetative stage, ya feel? Just tie down them branches, and watch your plant grow sideways instead of just shootin’ up straight. It’s all about that even distribution of light and nutrients, which means more bang for your buck when it’s harvest time.
High Stress Training (HST)
Now we gettin’ into the more intense stuff with HST. This one ain’t for the faint-hearted, ya dig? We talkin’ about takin’ some risks to get bigger rewards. Techniques like toppin’ and fimm’in are where you cut off the main tip of the plant, makin’ it split into multiple colas instead of just one big bud.
And then there’s defoliation. Sounds wild, right? But hear me out. You gotta selectively remove some of them big fan leaves to let more light hit the lower parts of the plant. I know it sounds crazy ’cause leaves are how the plant eats, but trust me, takin’ off some leaves can lead to more growth and more buds when done right, especially when the flowers start poppin’.
Supercropping
Last but not least, we got Supercroppin’. This one’s about gettin’ a lil’ rough with your plants, but in a gentle way. You squeeze and bend them stems, but don’t break ‘em, ya feel? This helps the plant grow sideways, givin’ you more branches to work with, which means more buds in the end.
Supercroppin’ also toughens up your plant. It’s like givin’ it a workout, makin’ it strong against wind and heavy buds when it’s time to harvest. Plus, it opens up more surface area for light, helpin’ your plant photosynthesize better. More energy means healthier plants that yield more.
Conclusion
So, big picture time: if you wanna take your cannabis game to the next level, you gotta mess with LST, HST, and Supercroppin’. These techniques can unlock the full potential of your plants, givin’ you them top-shelf results. But remember, you gotta be careful with it. If you mess up, you can stress your plants and hurt your yield. So learn the ins and outs, apply ’em wisely, and you’ll be on your way to growin’ some serious fire.
