Sweet!! good to here that your gunna try it out on some of them.. I too was skeptical at first, but then i started reading threads on how some the of the people on this site yield ridiculous amounts of chronic. All of them used some kind of training or LST'ing. At first i tried with one plant, now i bend them all. Im not a big sea of green fan, why have 20 when you can yield the same with 5. But thats just my opinion.
I made a little diagram for you. Im stoned as shit, and its kind of half ass but you may find it helpful.
You should already notice your tops bending towards the light. Its doesnt take long for them to recoop.
i made a spelling error. OOPS!!
Okay so I have decided that I am going to keep the 2 clones as they are, because they are already 19 and 13 inches tall..?....? I am going to take 3 clones off the Grape Ape and 3 off the LGS to use as clones for the next round, but I plan on making 1 of each clone a permanant Mother. But with the baby's im going to LST all of em except the one I FIMed.
Here are 2 pics:
1. LST
2. FIM
Also. wanting to know how often I should be feeding nutes, before a ph'd flush?
Any Advice or Input? Lemme Know!
Dru you are Fu**ing hell.ar.ious. I love stoners, your diagram was definantly made while you were ripped!!!:stoned: :jointsmile: :D :thumbsup:

If i ever have a problem with my garden, flushing with PH'd water(or better yet, a clearing solution) is the first thing i do. The most common problems i run into are a wacked out ph and nutrient toxicity.
Ill second that drudown. I use the Fox farms trio and the powder trio as well, and follow the feeding schedule.
I was having ph problems with FFOF and ended up having to use some natural lime additive when i mix up my soil, i add some later in the water as well. If i dont do that my ph gets really low and like you said the nutes become toxic! Just keep an eye on your ph and check your runoff once a week and you will know if you need to add anything else like lime to your soil.
Whats good all?
Here are a few pics taken today... I have LST'd all but 2 outa the 8 plants; They all seem to be takin on the extra light like they never seen it before. I will start tieing down, bending and training the new shoots in a few weeks, give em a lil time to re coop and grow.
Drudown I would apprecieate a lil more input on how you actually tied down your main shoots or did you jus let grow wild. It seems that you have done some seriuos LSTing. Cause thos 4 plants seriously look like 30.
Lemme know a lil more about your technique,
Anyway here are the pics:
i drill holes in the sides of by plastic pots and use string to tie the plants down. I take the biggest branches and pull them across the sides of the pot and tie them down. I try to make sure all of the plants and tops are bent to an even height, like a nicely trimmed bush(that was never trimmed of course, just bent over).
Yes i trained all of my main shoots. They are your beefiest branches and grow the fastest. I bend them back everytime one gets taller than another.
I used a combination of Fimming and LST. I Fim to stimulate lateral branch growth, and then bend shortly after to create more tops.
btw theyre looking good. It looks like your plants are responding well to the bending.
Also that one in the first picture, this might just be my personal preference but i would bend it over a little more at the tip. like a 90 degree angle. It might make your back middle and upper branches shoot towards the light a little more.
A couple of weeks before flowering i like to cut all of the small branches and leaves at the bottom. If it doesnt get a reasonale amount of sunlight, i chop it off.
