Low-Stress Training
Cannabis low stress training, or LST, is a cultivation technique that involves physically manipulating the cannabis plant in order to encourage growth. This is typically performed when the plant is young in order to encourage lateral growth. By doing so, you will produce a cannabis plant with more bud sites and a higher yield.
