plants are 35 days old.. should i start LST on them yet?
or should i let them continue on w/o doing it, and start later?
i definately want to keep these plants low as possible.. prob going to let them veg for another 25-30 days.. they have major recovering that needs to be done..
all pics are a various plants...
yea man do it for sure
35 days? What light u using?
But ya, LST them now.
go for it
now i've never done this before, so i need a little advice please...
the stem is getting thick , but is still soft and bendable.. do i just want to lay that stem down as much as possible? the branches too? i am trying to get the center between the stem and branches to be exposed to light right?
BOB- using a 1000w MH right now.. i had major issues w/ them in the begining , but they are jumpin back now.. you can still see the yellow , burnt leaf's on bottom...
thanks!
yea bring it down as much as you can (without breaking it). What your trying to do is:
1. keep the plant low.
2. expose the main stem to as much light as possible.
keep that in mind and start tying =D
peace
i've just started LST with my plants (tallest is only 2"!)
i've just cut up a coat hanger into 5 peices (for 5 of my plants...even the dead looking one) and bent them...

so yea just try tie it down horizontally to the soil..if you didnt already know that which im sure you did :stoned:
first pic is the 1 that is all droopy and looks like its dying...my brother said its from overwatering, so i havnt watered them for about 3 days... any one else have any suggestions for it?
Basically what u want is an even canopy.
So, u pull one branch down, and other shorter ones grow taller, then bend them down. What is happening is ur giving the other branches time to catch up to the big one. If u dont then the big one will out grow all others and shade them all from light.
s12fever... Why are u LST;ing that plant so small? IMO that will make little difference unless ur main goal is just to keep it really short. Reason I say this is because u dont even have any secondary branches on the plant. Also I had 1 out of 3 plants non LST. Anyhow it got too tall for cab. I just LSTd it 3 weeks into flowering. Other bud sites are growing larger and I see no ill effects. It was LST for that one out of neccessity.
Mabye u can make a spiral stair case plant :} JK man. Ill be watching though. wishing luck to all.
