"LST" advice

  1. IMG_4084.JPG image.jpg image.jpg My girls have made 3 weeks, decided to LST. Hows it looking?
     
  2. I tied more than just the main stem down to get maximum light - but looking al good to me man... I sill know shit all but that's what I did
     
  3. The idea here is to get all the tops about the same height..tie the tallest first and the others will catch up making for an even canopy! :)

  5. Yea I definitely only tied down the bottom and top of the main stem.
     
  6. Yeah..they bush out fast..here are 2 of mine vegging in a spare bath tub..on the left is one I supercropped 2 days ago..on the right is one supercroped today..(areas in red are supercroped)
    Both undergo daily LST as well! (each topped once).

  11. How long do you keep them tied up???
     
  12. I usually forget and untie them in a few weeks..Stems are permanently positioned after a week or so..don't want them to straighten back up too fast! I use those outdoor metal drip hose stakes to begin bending the main stem after the 4th node or so..They are about 1.25" wide and allow for any growth..I usually find a few of them I forgot when harvesting..LMAO

  13. Ah you can wait a good bit to LST and still make an even canopy. my first grow I waited until she was a foot tall and looked kind of like a Christmas tree and I still made her pretty even.

    Flip her when she's as bushy as you want and keep tying down and supercropping to keep the canopy even during the 12/12 stretch.. heres my girl [​IMG][​IMG] I by no means did that great of a job but next grow I plan on doing much better... she's probably my most even canopy yet though I could of done a bit better... one side is just really packed and clustered with buds though they do have a decent bit of light hitting them regardless I would of preferred to of spread them out a bit better.

  17. I'm hoping for around a QP at the least I'd like to hit 100 grams... won't know till harvest though just a guess my last plant gave me 6 grams shy of 3 ounces and she wasn't nearly as big so fingers crossed... I edited my post and posted a pic of her before she started budding btw
