  2. how do u do LST and does it need to be done while it's little and I don't know if mine is big enough check out my gallery on my profile to see my plant
     
  3. Im the LST jedi LOL
    I tie down 4feets plants under 16 inches.

    Pretty extreme.

  4. I tie em down at anytime. Even at flowering week 4-5, but its more usefull in the vedg period.

    Just use your logic, you will know when you should stop, before snapping the branch.
     
  5. How does my set up look right now? I've see you people pull the branches in different directions, is this beneficial?

    LST. You bring the stems down and let them grow a little. You bring them down again they grow again. You train the plant how you want it to grow. I've only done lst because of my limited situation but i've been successful with it.


    *edit*
    I used lst in all my grows and all have been under a foot.
     
  7. Your LST look perfect.

    The light will hit the nodes and new branches will emerge. This can double+ your harvest at the end.
     
  8. Sweet, thanks for the help everyone. The ties will remain throughout the grow correct? Or will it grow a certain way that it doesn't need the ties anymore.

    By trying to move the ties some, I accidentally ripped off the top set of leaves on the top part of the long stem, is this bad?
     
  11. I think it will be fine in a few days

     


  12. Love it!! :bongin:

    @OP just bend a branch over and tie it down. I make a giant loop out of twine and just put it over a branch, pull it down to where I want it, and secure the loop somewhere (usually right to the pot so I can still move it around) with either tape or pins.
     
  13. I use Yarn, tied to plastic clothes pins. It makes it easy to tie to the plant, unpin, and re-adjust as needed. after awhile the buds get heavy, and I unclip and reclip upwards to hold up, instead of down. I hope this helps

     
  14. Love the method but I hate how you always end up with a labyrinth of string you gotta maneuver through.
     
  15. Hahah great setup and LST !

    Well done :)
     
  16. Exact ! The last 2-3 was very hard to bent, no more space for the string.
    But its bagseeds, so i didnt know about the final height. What a giant.

    Its my last time with bagseeds, next ones will be dwarf plants lol.
