In doing this you are creating more main colas instead of just 1 main cola with smaller buds growing on the lower part of your plant. As with most methods of trying to improve the yield of your cannabis plants, LST makes the most efficient use of light. As far as the cannabis cultivator is concerned the best light is at the top of the plants and the lower branches receive a far poorer quality of light, seriously under achieving their potential. LST with The Stem Trainer involves safely arcing the stalks outward to present the plant in a more lateral way, exposing more of its lower branches to the light and allowing a more equal distribution of light intensity. The increase in bud formation on these branches results in a higher yield per plant, and alsoa higher yield per watt of light. With The Stem Trainer you are creating an even canopy of colas that are all exposed to the light evenly and you will dramatically increase your yield versus if you didn’t LST your plants. Its easy, safe and one of the most important techniques to implement. The Stem Trainer ensures healthier more prosperous plants with much greater yields.
