Question : Grape Ape LST

Hey, Whats going on everybody. This is my first post but I have been lurking around this site using everyones insight along the way, so thank you ahead of time. So, I have a question but I will start with my current setup.

I am running a 400watt HPS over 2 Grape Ape clones that are in a
64"x36"(W)x20"(D) grow tent that has an air cooled reflector along with some intake fans for decent ventilation. They are in 2.5 gall buckets with FFOF and all I have used in the 10-12 days since planting is PH water + super thrive. The plants look good ,one lacking in size coming from the club smaller initially-both LSTed which leads me to my question.

What is the appropriate time to veg these babies, considering my restriction is grow tent size. Any insight and information on this would be greatly appreciate! thanks ahead of time..

use two 4 gal containers when plants reach the edges of the pots flower,I'd prob super crop em when there 10" er so.better question is where did u getthe grape ape?

Hey, thanks for the response. Well, i got them from a medical club near by my place. I used to see it all the time and thought I would try it out.

So, you suggest transplanting to a 4 gal container and once they reach the outside of that container start flowering? Sounds good- was thinking 2.5 might be a bit small for the whole grow. Thanks again, and any further info is -always appreciated!

I grow them to be about 15-20 inches in height before flowering in 3 gallon smart pots with coco. They like to stretch in flower so they will end up 36-40 at end if u keep light close meaning 10 inches from canopy or less. U get light to high they will stretch even more. I also top em before flower so branching fills out and I don't have 1 large cola.

Heyyy hows the grow goingk?
