well, we just reached 5 weeks of 12/12, and i'm wondering when i should let up on the restraints? does anyone train all the way to the end? i'm just wondering, because the plants are getting good, equal light coverage to all the main bud sites, and as soon as i let up i suppose they will return to different heighths. i won't be able to keep those cfls right on them as closely. also, any other tips for the last few weeks would be highly appreciated!!! help these plants finish strong!

you can train until the end but you must be most careful at this point and do it very slow, let the main cola go untied tho.

thanks for the responses!
i think i'll probably lead them tied down then...i need to suck all the juice i can out of those cfls...
any tips for finishing up strong??? i think i read something about lowering the ph of the soil a bit for the last few weeks? is there any point where i should start to trim back a few of the leaves to concentrate energy and light on the budsites?

i've heard of using a super phosphate 2 weeks before harvest to give some girth.
lst to the end, baby! i've always tied my outdoor plants, but thats because the buds get so damn heavy.

LST can be done until the end of flowering.. i usually undo the strings in the last few days ..
