High Stress Training ( HST , Supercropping )
The growing tip need not necessarily be removed to take advantage of auxin manipulation . If the top of the shoot is bent so it is no longer taller than the next nodes , then it loses much of its advantage over them . This is done by carefully weakening the stem by slightly crushing it between forefinger and thumb , and then bending until the branch is in horizontal line with the nodes to be encouraged . This method does cause damage and stress to the plant , and if done incorrectly can result in breaking off the branch being treated . High stress training is sometimes used as an emergency measure to correct individual branches that are growing too tall or too long .
Low Stress Training ( LST , Tie Down Training )
Similar to HST , but instead of a sharp bend at a single point , as the plant grows new growth is trained as desired while it is still pliable using string or twine . This avoids the stress and damage associated with supercropping by instead nudging the plant ’ s growth in the desired direction , but at the cost of being more labour intensive .
