    take a string and pull over the main top and larger side branches so light can hit the smaller ones resulting in more A quality bud than B or C and you don't stunt the growth like pinching off their heads.

    She’s going at least double in size during flower. Just keep that in mind when deciding when to flower her.

    I think ill give the lst a miss this time round as dont really know what im doing so be somthing i can read on.. Ive purned both bottoms on plants so i think 1 more week then switch.. Also would it be better for me to switch to a 600w hps in flower ?? There both under 250w hps at the moment

    More light more better, as long as you can control the temps.

    cutting tops seems less stressful then bending them over,
    been growing for 20+ yrs and have tried everything,
    plants that are LST'd recover slower then topped plants, not by much but it is noticeable,
    personally.... I like LST because nothing is lost.!!
    topping a plant means you have spent time growing waste,
    and...... the main stem bud is always the biggest/best when kept above or in-line with the other sites the canopy.

    in your situation I would Top them, wait a week then put em under the 600w and flip to 12/12.
    this would make em fill the tent and keep em way shorter for a heavier and better quality harvest.!

    it looks over-watered.

    use the flood to drought method,
    completely soak the 'soil', wait for the soil to almost completely dry (this you learn in time), then saturate the pots again.
    allowing them to dry keeps the roots healthy, makes for faster growth!
    get a cheap moisture meter, get one with long probes, use it until you can judge the pot's moisture.
    i still use my $14 moisture/light meter, both as a light meter and to check soil moisture!

    I got her in her own tent under led because i thought she was a male or was sick can i put her back in with the other 2 girls they wont be affected?? That was my only issue
     
  14. #14 Slow Old Guy, Aug 8, 2018
    yes, and no it won't effect the others.
    get her feet dry and it'll start growing.!

    Support topping vs LST on your first run. If you have the confidence to try LST the first run, go for it, if you feel uneasy or nervous about it, just top when necessary.

    Do i have to top or can just do that on my next grow
     
  17. #17 toolzor, Aug 9, 2018
    Nope, you don't have to do any of that if you don't want to. It will improve your yields but if you're not comfortable doing that, just let them do their thing.

    I think the next cupples of days ill get it a tie down see if she likes it
     
  19. #19 toolzor, Aug 9, 2018
    Well, she won't like it, and that's what you want, because it fights back and bushes out like crazy, which is what you want it to do.
