Cultivation Style Lst
LST (Low Stress Training) is a cultivation technique where growers gently bend and tie down cannabis plant stems to manipulate canopy structure without removing plant material. This method redistributes auxins and encourages lateral branching, potentially increasing light penetration to lower nodes. Unlike high-stress techniques, LST maintains plant vigor during training. Breeders and cultivators often employ LST to optimize yields in space-constrained environments or to study how particular genetic lines respond to directional growth. The technique is particularly relevant for phenotype evaluation, as it allows growers to observe structural traits under consistent, controlled conditions.

LST is valuable in breeding programs for assessing lateral branch architecture, node spacing, and structural resilience under training stress. Breeders use LST to identify genotypes with desirable growth patterns and flexibility for commercial cultivation systems.
