LST? what is that? sorry first time grower is there a site or some where you might link me to that could show me

LST is THE FRIGGING VICTORY.
Thats all I have to say on the subject.

That plant looks a lot like mine, and you're going to have a very hard time trying LST with it. The stalk is already too thick. It will break rather than bend.

Topping it is fairly easy to do. Just find a node that has started growing some side shoots (not fan leaves - shoots) and use an exacto knife to cut of the stock above that node. Easy as that.

It appears to be kind of a bad time for both Topping and LSTraining.

I would try to get those leaves to perk up first before you try any other stressfull things to it.

Looks to me like you overwatered and caused a pH-Lock.

Hell if I know, but just out of curiosity, what is your pH level of each pot?

[stickyichy]

i don't have any ph level testers and they seem pretty pricey. is there a way to lower ph with out buying expensive things?

would a flush help?

plus yeah i cant get the watering thing right but i know to wait till they are almost completely out of water the dirt is bone dry and they need it.
