Interesting. I should have been doing this with mine all these years. My babies get way to tall, 3' to 10' all outside.

Also today I post week 5 pictures. If you want to see more, check my grow log.
I think they need LST badly,my friend.
LST? Landing Ship Tank? lol I haven't herd that in a long time history stuff. but really what is LST?
Ahh I see now you want to use a scrog method so low stress training is the beginning
Low Stress Training.
Why? And especially why ''badly"?Quote:

I absolutely refuse to LST these plants. Like I said before, my first plants in 29 years will be au naturel, or in a natural state. Well, as natural as one can get indoors. I even considered topping them, but decided against it. That's when I decided to let them grow with no interference, outside of changing light cycles.
I put some seeds in the ground a couple days ago. They are indeed candidate for topping and LST.
I'm guessing you have a full ceiling to work with? You should be fine letting them grow as is if you do, and you're going to start flowering next week.
I've seen mine do some good stretching but well within limits. Not much bigger than 3' or so.
Topping rocks, for me it's going to increase yield a lot as my plants grow nice colas from the stem and 6-8 branches and little else.
Are you going to take some cuttings before you flower?
P.S. - I pinged you on facebook, hit me up :)
Your plants are growing tall and straight.Quote:

Cool, you ever hear of ppl doing LST in a hydrogarden? When I've looked, many of the configurations were the same, 5 gal+ pots in soil.
I have some net pots, 8" and 10" and am going to cut a couple of clones this week and was going to take a crack at it.
Was going to root the clone in a 1" cube and put it towards the side of one of my netpots in pellets, when it's got about 3 nodes bend it and tie to the netting, and when the next branch grows, tie it over to one side and so on...
I have by mistake learned the benefits of this, one of my Aurora's going into the tent at 13" (yes, I know my MH grows em fast) got to over 4' tall forcing me to bend the top over and clamp it down to the pot, it's now over 5' tall but growing to the side and has 15 very nice pine cone sized buds growing in addition to a fat cola.
Logic suggests, doing it neat and orderly will yield much more bud.
Sounds good.....I would post a link here,but they seem to disappear when I do.
