As usual though, a few questions:
1) My plants are 21 days old from seeds, can I start now? They're not as big as the pics of sloth you posted above.
2)You started LSTing in a tiny pot. Does this not make transplanting a pain? I was gonna transplant mine into large pots before I start training them.
3) What do you think of this method? http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-...-training.html
Sorry bout all the questions man! :o I can only hope to learn from the best.
1) I'm sure you could start man, just remember the most important step to LST'ing is a good counter-tie on your first tie. This gives the stem a point to bend at and also keeps it from pulling on the roots.Quote:

3)I kinda did that method inadvertently on sloth and the one that looks like it, but they didn't make it all the way around the pot. I tried different things, and my personal favorite is the one that I topped around the 6th node then tied over in one direction. After that, it made about 12-14 new main colas, 2 at each node, and I tied the two ones from each node in opposite directions from each other. It made the largest overall colas, but not many smaller nugs compared to the other styles. You can shape the plant however you see fit really, the only thing that remains constant is the stem has to be horizontal. Other than that, you can wrap it around the pot, bend it back across itself (thats what i did on the blueberry one) or whatever.
And feel free to ask as many questions as you want, thats the best way to learn man (besides trying something and fucking it up lol, that is the BEST way, you never forget those lessons). Lol, I'm hardly the best, just a noob that asked lots of questions and got lucky, but thanks for the compliment :D
smoke report yet?
Well, I did sample a small nug off the "blueberry" very immature, like at least 2 weeks too early. It was very light and airy, since I pulled it off the bottom anyway. It got me a slight buzz and tasted still harsh and green cause it wasn't flushed by then. But the official chop for at least 2 of the plants is this coming sunday, with probably a 1-2 week drying period after that. Then I'll have a smoke report for ya, and an even better one another 3 weeks after that once I get them cured.Quote:

love, kp:p
also, bb says 50-60 days... i've found they take 60-70 days... beware, use a micro and check the tric's
love, kp:p
Full screen this pic. All the ones on it are milky except the one I circled. I know the hairs aren't the best way to go, but you can usually get a good idea, and mine are looking close. Only sloth and the other one that looks like her were all clear trichs. The other two were mostly milky when we checked.Quote:
