Calling all LST'ers/SoG'ers!

Well I just wanted to get some feedback on my first try at LST'ing.

I've been trying to tuck all fan leaves under that are on top of other bud sites, and recently had to start *lightly* pinching the stems of dominating shoots in an attempt to keep everything even. That has been working pretty good. I didn't plan well enough ahead (See: lazy.) to implement a screen. I have also been pruning the yellowing/wilting/tiny/unnecessary lower fan leaves & growth on the underside of the plant. Oh yeah, that reminds me....is it better to prune the undergrowth all at once? Or is it better to prune in stages?

Any suggestions, comments?

*and not too bad of a noob photoshop job on the 3rd pic if I may say so myself.

Awwwww......come on!

Maybe a mod could move this Basic Growing?

holy crap.....very very nice LST. looks almost like a SCROG. i start pruning the lower foliage when i start 12/12.

I don't grow SOG, or anything like that, but...
As my canopy fills-in, I start trimming those lower/inner branches that get absolutely no light anyway. An ongoing process, not all at once. I don't really want to over-stress them into turning hermie. Many different views available on this subject, tho.

Looks good to me.
As Rusty said prunning is an on going process. Every time I water I inspect every plant and remove any dying leaves then remove any leaves that are blocking light to a future budling, but you can only do that so much, after about week 4 of veg I take any new growth sprouts around 3" that will not make it to producing a sizable bud I cut it and cloan it.

That is a very good job at LST. Especially for a first timer. You got the concept down great! Nice even canopy. Almost perfect.

Can you get us a shot of the branches/underneath the canopy?

I've done SoG outdoors A LOT. One time I had 24 plants lined up in a 10ft long row. I had one long 10ft piece of chickenwire fencing that was literally LACED with cannabis. Man it was wild. Shit was growing down it like vines in every direction.

I'll be doing another one this coming summer. I'll log it on here this time so you guys can see it.

Some undergrowth shots.

Wow. Looks awesome!

looking REALLY good.

very nice :thumbsup:

How do you LST ? What is it and what is its main purpose ?

Search, damn it.
