If your refering to LST, that is Low stress training... check out this post if your interested it is usually used when height restrictions are a problem. http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-...-training.html

why did u tape lined paper to inside the box?

DaleGribble · #19 (**permalink**) 03-29-2009, 07:40 PM

only a couple pieces are lined, the rest is computer paper.

and becuase i didnt have any paint, although i have since found some.

Just an update, looking good. Will start LST once the next set starts to come up.

Looks like it just might be pretty strongly indica based

hey dale i got a ?

when did u transport into that large pot? i bought new soil earlier today and a pot and i was wondering a good time to transplant it would be

DaleGribble · #22 (**permalink**) 03-31-2009, 03:39 AM

I transplanted after like 1 week. It was still a sprout and I did it real quick with no problems.

PhillieBluntCP · #23 (**permalink**) 03-31-2009, 04:03 AM

im planning on doing that in a few days but idk if it is too soon

DaleGribble · #24 (**permalink**) 04-04-2009, 03:26 AM

Here's an update:
seems like node spacing isn't turning out to be a problem as of now.

DaleGribble · #25 (**permalink**) 04-06-2009, 01:58 AM

LST for the first plant. I just got a timer and might go down to 18-6 light. I'll have it under that for a while before I flower which will mean probably autoflowering the sprouts that just grew their second set of serrated leaves.

An update:
-I lined the box with foil (hot spots shouldn't be an issue, but I'll keep an eye on it)
-I added another bulb putting me @ 117w of CFL with 5 bulbs.
-LSTing is continuing, you can see the lower branches blowing up.

The third picture is of the LST from the top. The circle is where the stem grew upwards out of soil, the red line is where the main stem is hooked down now and the blue line is the planned growth of the main stem.

any advice or things to watch for?

What do you have going on for ventilation?

I just added a full system to my flowering setup and it made a HUGE difference in growth within a couple days.

I'll be watching. Best of Luck!

Check this out. Maybe you can swing it another way and make it work for your setup.

Funny you would ask, I just opened a larger vent hole, replaced the crappy dinky fan with a 4" high velocity and added a DIY carbon scrubber attached to it as the output. I'm not sure how well its ventilating because my carbon scrubber is ghetto and its hard for the fan to push through it, but I'm keeping an eye on temperatures and the air has no where else to go so...

I was thinking about just putting a carbon scrubber at the base of the cab once I pic my one lady I am keeping, then I'd seal up the hole and it would just clean the air in the cab completely. That would kinda take away air exchange though so I dont know if i can do that.

I might be misunderstanding something here.. I have been drinking... But you are saying you want to begin the flowering process shortly after the third set of leaves??

No.
