Pure Power and Pure Gold: First Grow

[bigtopsfinn]

It will stress the plant a little. It's said that you should be done LSTing two weeks before flowering. I did just a little LST (maybe 30-45 degree bends, not 90 like in your last pic) at three weeks into flowering, and noticed it just stopped growing for a couple days. But, everything was fine in the end. I'd just let her go, maybe get some supplemental cfl's if you're worried about light penetration. If it's a height issue, then do what you gotta do... Just my :twocents:

Hiya finn.

Mountain bro.
I've never experienced slower growth by folding it over,The top will grow just as fast..only in a lil different shape,Infact it will still encourage lower growth (even in flower),and also allow you to get more light to the mass of the plant's becouse you can lower the light).
If it was me? I would prolly super-crop it,Which mean's pinch it and fold the top over...But that's cause I've done it before and am not afraid.If it accidently kink's when you LST dont worry.

Hey there Dive and HOM...

Yeah, should be ok. When I did mine I transplanted at the same time, and also bent about 8-10 branches... so those things together probably caused the slowed growth...

Anyways HOM you should be fine. Plants are making a nice recovery :thumbsup:

thanks finn, they both seem to be performing great. I finally gave them their first feeding of big bloom. i gave them 2 tbl to a gallon and no tiger bloom to see how they react to the big bloom. When i feed them next do u guys think i'd be okay to mix 1 tbl big bloom and 1 tsp tiger bloom in the same gallon of water? or do u guys feed different ferts on different days? Anyone using the fox farms trio let me know how u feed ur ladies!!


And by the way, heres some pics of how the pure power is taking to the LST. It has turned up and all the branches are now getting much more light.
