The duct tape can come loose, but most importantly the fishing line can and will cut into your stems! I use cotton Yarn for LST, tho any other kind of light weight rope like nylon shoelace or something would be fine.


As for the stress, HPS isn't a vege light for MMJ. Try putting a Metal Halide over them, it'll work better for vege. Then switch back to the HPS for flowering.

If that doesn't help,.... well I'm out of ideas that haven't already been thrown out there



As for the bondage and flipping the lights to 12/12, I LST my girls and start them spiraling around the pot, (Typically I get a "U" shape out of the main stem) I try to train the branches "Out" of the middle. Then when I go to flower EVERYTHING gets trained down even lower under a Screen! (I'll drop the canopy about 3-4") Then it's training the stretch from day 1 flower under the screen for SCROG style grow.

Once the stretch is over and I start getting bud formation I let the cola's go UP! :rastasmoke:

So far every strain that I've tried this with has loved me for it.

The only exception was my Grand Daddy Purple,... which was a hermi from the get go, so I don't think any of the training had anything to do with it.
