A cannabis cultivation technique where growers deliberately apply physical stress to the plant, such as cutting, bending, or topping, to manipulate its growth pattern and encourage the plant to produce more flower sites and improve overall yields. The idea behind HST is to redirect the plant’s energy from vertical growth toward creating a more even canopy, maximizing light exposure to all parts of the plant and boosting flower production.
In the Wild — Example
I use high stress training to keep the canopy even and maximize the number of top colas.
Have a better example? Suggest one.
