So, I'm in Flowering mode right now, on Day 24 (As of Today), and I notice my plant is branch OUT a lot, especially in the bottom canopy....
...and I don't want it to do that. I wanna keep it close together, so I can hit it better with my improv'd side-lighting, to increase the efficiency of my lighting.
So, is it OK to use like furry pipe cleaners to do LST (Low-Stress Training, not LSD! ) to train the branches toward the center of my girly girl?
Any experience in this late last-minute-laziness training for a plant during/only flowering?
Seems like bunching it up is gonna give you less light in the end. If the branches are more spread out you'll have better penetration. To answer the question, yes, you can, won't hurt the plant or anything.

Yeah, I guess you're right about the low-penetration thing....CFL's (which I'm only using for flowering) already have poor penetration (sadly, just like my wang)....so bunching them together wouldn't be good.
But its good to know I have the option, and it won't hurt anything. I guess that's why its called Low-Stress Training....
I'm aware that it doesn't add on time, I was just saying that since I only have about 25 days left of flowering, would it even make a difference to start training now....like, once I'm done training, it might be harvest time already...
But I guess its a journey not the destination....so as I train, I benefit from the guidance I give my girl...
So, what do you think Diesel? Is it worth it to train this late, with a CFL Only flowering light set-up? Will the bud-crowding cause penetration problems?
