Hey guys,
got some sativa dominant stuff growing, and I've had to top it many times as the main stems grow far too long, I've cut it twice down to 3.5ft but it's gone up to 4.5ft. My question, is will cutting a main stem damage any bud production or will bud just begin to grow where I cut no matter where in the cycle?
It would slow down flowering.. Why not tie it down?
hey evert,
I've got the same (60/40 sativa/indica) type of plant. Mine arent that tall yet but they are definately growing at a vary rapid rate (18" - 28 days old). I'm setting up my flowering room over the weekend/next week and will be moving two females (hopefully, still waiting to see) to the flower rooom and will have more space for LSTing.
my question is When is it too late to LST?
You can tie her down at anytime.. careful not to snap anything as the stems harden... Which reminds me... my girlfriend is going to be here soon..gotta go. ;)
LST
Nice video BTW
Good luck!
I would tie it down but it's outdoors and might look a bot fishy, I'll try it later today, thanks for the help.
Hoping for an indian summer then mate,i'm attempting my 1st grow planted the seeds on the 1st of the month,binned 3 as the leaves looked like they had rust spots on them i started them of with a normal light (dont laugh people) and have since moved them onto CFL's one has grown like a bitch and is only just starting to grow extra stems i have 8 full stems so far with the biggest leaves the size of my hand (like i said 1st timer) i'm not expecting to get anything from them but i'll carry on regardless live and learn as they say.Quote:

Thank a bunch man!
So Stinky I shouldn't top my plant right now going into August?
Right. At this point, just let her be. You should be starting to kill males any day now though.
