Notice the size of her stalk, very much larger the my others. Because of the thickness of her branchs I wasnt able to lst this as much. Didnt want to stress her out.
Oh, where in Cali you at abouts? Im in sac:jointsmile:
Enjoy brodder......:thumbsup:

Lookin good there man. She's a beauty. Way bushier than any of my LA conf's. I'm hoping they'll fill out more in about a week maybe a week and a half cuz that's when im going to switch to flower. Im willing to wait to get her to optimal size for flowering tho! :D

Just wondering when I should shift to flowering tho. Cuz I've never done LST before so are they really going to fill out once i switch em to flower? Ive read about double to triple in size once you switch, so i figure theyll be good in about a week? What do you guys think? :stoned:

GG:rasta:

Hey everyone, my plants are looking pretty bushy and five of them have definitely recovered well from the stress and are growing fast! My biggest grower is the one in the back row on the far right, she has shot up and im looking forward to some fat colas on her. :stoned:

I do have one issue tho that I'm concerned about, and thats my front row middle girl...I believe I bent her a bit too far. Not sure what to do, or even if i did so i have a pic. You guys tell me what you think. I cut one of the lines for LST to relieve pressure on that point where it bent and hopefully it will recover.

The possibly bent one is the first pic...the rest are just pics of the rest of my beauties! :jointsmile:

GG:pimp:

Just more pics...oh ya, I watered them today...Grow big and Big bloom. Seem to be loving it!

Also, in my schedule i had this thursday marked as the day i switch to flowering...cuz thats exactly a month of veg. Im wondering if i should possibly give it some more time? Maybe another week? What do you guys think?

Thanks everyone!

GG:smokin:

That bent stem will be just fine. :jointsmile:
What you basically did was supercropped that stem. It will develop a knot at the bend, and some say it will be stronger too.

Im switching to flowering in about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks...so I felt like this would be a good time to start LST and filling out the pot. Am i wrong?

most people LST for space issues, making the plant more horizontal and not verticle. if your looking to grow bushes, this is not the way, to make bushes you need to top.

but I like what your doing, gonna be nice to see.

most people that grow in the space you have either top and make bushes or grow plants strait verticle with one main steam and one main cola. Not too sure what your trying to do.

looks realy artistic though like a collage in work or like cannabis vines. perty cool, cant wait to see buds.

Oh ok gotchya. Nah I have some space, but Im LST'ing to increase my yield. Giving the sides of the plants more light. Not sure what im expecting yield wise, but im just trying to top my first grow (2 ounces :() lol but hey i figure if you get any yield your first try it's not bad. :thumbsup:

Youll do just fine G. That bend will mend and be alright. These things take alot of shit with out skippin=g a beat. How else is one to learn without triing? I did alot of things that I shouldnt have but thats how people learn. Later on, youll look back and laugh at this so just do what you think is right and smoke a joint:thumbsup: Theyll do great, just watch:wtf:

Oh, and yea...If you can, wait a lil before switching the lights. You have the room so why not let them go even longer:D Youll be happier I think....

I see; the style of growing your going for requires topping, becaseu right now you only have one main steam, theri are no sides of the plant you have just one stalk or one main cola, the side branching are on that one cola. To do a LST in a scrog setting or much like tomatoe vines with an even cannope, you need to top , this makes more branching to give you those extra budding sites, and give you more yeilds. one cola will be bigger in the end but more colas will be smaller and give you more yeilds, not to mention when you grow one main cola most underneith may look nice, but they did not get the same light the colas did so your product goes down a little, more so with tall plants where the buds at the bottom have lost light intensity. With a scrog setting you have the entire cannoppe even so the light distributes evenly over the cannopee giveing every bud equal light and giving you a more premium and optimal harvest.

hope this helps, either way you got some healthy plants and your gonna like what comes out.

Hey guys, havent updated for a while been crazy during the holidays. TAO!!! (wonder if anyone knows what that is?) Anyways, my girls are looking amazing. Theyre total bushes and have some huge stems coming off the side growth.

My one question that Ive been asking myself is...should I switch them to flower as they are now (youll see in pics). Or, should I LST them some more and the give them a couple days to recover from the stress and then switch to flower? What do you guys think?

Oh ya, and I added mylar to my door. I have some more that I havent put up yet, it's gonna go up soon.

Heres the pics...
