Abbreviation for Low Stress Training. A cannabis cultivation technique that involves gently bending and tying down branches to manipulate the plant’s shape without causing significant harm or stress. The goal of LST is to encourage more even light distribution across the plant’s canopy, promoting the growth of additional flower sites and ultimately increasing yields. By avoiding any major damage to the plant, LST helps maintain plant health while optimizing growth.
