Training Cannabis Plant Branches – Bending Basics How To
Training Cannabis Plant Branches – Bending Basics How To
Today I’ll talk more Horticulture branch bending basics (Low Stress Training) and address how to use low stress training methods to improve your harvest. Tying down branches and using larger containers are two SUPER simple ways. Topping is very useful as well, but its a high stress training method – episode on it coming soon.

I’ll add my method. When the plant is 4 inches tall turn it on it’s side. The plant will grow to the light giving you a very good bend with zero stress. Looks stupid until you see your progress .
I just ran out of papers Lex. Had no idea what I was doing I see next time I’m really going to town is that bamboo netting?seen a home made hemp string one
Thanks Lex! Simple and to the point!
Thank u very much brother…
What do you think of having your plant grow sideways using plexiglass to keep it from coming thru netting. When it has grown to the length you’re satisfied with removing the plexiglass and then letting it grow through the screen?
Haha , "Weed bending"
Avatar joke for the comment section .
I’m doing a microgrow in a space bucket, I plan on bending it to give me at least 6 tops, what point is it best to start?
Very easy to understand thanks for the video
Great information!
Those pots are huge as are the plants. Nice!
You always have such great knowledge and advice, thanks!
Just top a few really tall branches and bend the rest.!!! Outdoors!
Very informative.i use old worn out tee shirts cut in thin strips.the flex&wont cut into stems or branches.
&stretch when the plant grows.thanx
hi
Learned the hard way not to use metal wire!! It eventually cut my branch off.
I had a plant, and the bottom looked like a “V” well the right side slightly broke. So after looking for something besides tape to keep that branch on, I ended up using metal string. And the right side grew back onto the stem perfectly. But the left side got cut in half. & that branch made up half of my entire plant. probably could’ve tried to transplant the broken branch, but it was so big and heavy I didn’t dare to. I just tossed it
I’m a somewhat novice grower as I still have alot to learn but been researching and soaking up as much information as possible over the last few years and I’d have to say I’ve came a long way! My go to and ONLY way I grow is to top early while doing very gentle LST at the same time! I’ve came to realize this is the best method to increase your yields! All the small bud sights turn into new top colas and LOTS of them!!! To me its a "no brainer" and you dont need to be the best grower in the world to do it! I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!
! Thanks for the great vid Lex!!!
Nice class! From Brazil!
Wish i could post a pic how i bent mine and the massive nugs in week
God advice brother
Beginner grower, this video helped me. I’m a month from harvest and I’m super happy with the large canopy after bending the main branch down low. I have a few videos but just starting.
Cheers Lex! I appreciate watching your stuff always educational.
doing my first 2 and i have topped one and fimmed the other also doing lst they are looking amazing the panks can take alot more punishment then ppl asume
Wind works too
apperently im a very confident grower. *gulp*
I bought a 12 pack of plastic coated coat hangers £1.99!cut any bent them with pliers.bend a bit of a zigzag near the bottom of the stake, push it in the soil gently, and when you’ve hooked your branch, give it a tiny half twist.stops it springing straight out again.holds the plant safely! you’re welcome
Amazing video
Thanks to the OG
One of my plants i topped, then I started lst and it’s grown into this nice thick, even canopy bush shape. It’s beautiful. As this being my first grow, im very happy with the results of my experimenting
How on earth am i supposed to bend the main stem safely without snapping? Not exactly low stress when so easy to snap a stem.
Should i apply lst before topping?
Thank you your boss
Wow! Great video
Hey what if I broke of a branch while training?
I’ve decided to try training my purple mandarin sunset plants to grow in a circular pattern mimicking the shape of my 5 gallon pots and once they’ve grown completely around the outer edge and then top them, my theory is you can grow a big plant but force it to stay compact and should keep it under the light better.
Homeboy talkin like a sloth
Pipe cleaners is what I recommend because they don’t cut into the plant
Excellent information, thank you

Cali you can grow up to 99 plants.
Awesome. We’ll explained bro.
I have a too compact growing plant. I did the training nicely and I have a nice even cannopee. Now my problem is, that I already have about 40 main shoots and I am not sure if I should consider to trim some of them off. The shoots seem to be very thin and don`t thicken up even I am in day 75 in veg. Well, I did some constant overwatering, that would be the main reason why I am so long into veg already ending up with a rather tiny plant. Is there anyone who would give me some tipps about the main shoot number I should keep when going into flower? I have a 20liter fabric pot and I am growing a black domina from sensi seeds. Thanks in advance for your valuable support.
Hey lax thanks again
Are this techniques (lst and topping) worthy in outdoor? Or only indoor?

Your sound quality isn’t great
I have a question im usen bigger pots these year next year i wanna use huge pots to grow in but question is can I re use and of that dirt the next year ?
Is the bending operation itself that enhace yield lefting aside the light factor? I mean why the human have developed a tek named low stress technik with some work to do on, insted of just redirect the light with mirrors or something for enhace light in areas that was in shadow without intervention… and without warping the plant but the light pathways and flow
You can Top & Lst I just started it my self it works but will take some time for your plant to recover but you’ll grow more stems and branch’s
if I take a pic of my set up an send it 2 ya think u can take a look n soak it in? any tips or just any thoughts it’s my first time even seein a plant in real life lol or if anybody’s got an interest in helpin me just get at me
