Low-Stress Training (LST)

Low-Stress Training, often abbreviated as LST, is a cultivation method in which the branches of a cannabis plant are gently bent and shaped to influence the plant’s growth pattern.

More About Low-Stress Training (LST)

LST is used in cannabis cultivation as a technique for creating a more even plant structure and improving the distribution of light to different parts of the plant. The method is typically carried out by carefully bending and securing branches without damaging the plant.

Unlike more intensive pruning techniques, Low-Stress Training is associated with a gentler approach in which the plant’s structure is gradually guided over time. The term is often used among growers who work with plant training and optimization of the growing environment.

LST is especially discussed in cultivation guides, cannabis forums, and technical discussions about the development and structure of cannabis plants.
