View attachment 3652585 View attachment 3652586 View attachment 3652589 So after the flush I decided to ditch the RO water and go straight to the KISS formula 1 teaspoon per gallon of tap water..... I've been giving her about 2 feedings a day and I think that's also helped out.

From here I will be sticking to the kiss method. Duh didn't know why I didn't go with this sooner

she responded great!

God Damn! That shag carpet! You could top like 3 more times for a scrog. Not sure how that would work with your vertical space. Technically I'd say your really going to flip to 12/12 when your afraid of her getting too big lol! Play around with the idea of I won't let her get X height tall and do as much LST as possible you could fold her over today if you wanted to! And don't forget you can clip those lower sets of leaves. Might give you a better idea of what your working with.

So when I try to do the 4way LST it feels as if my branches are going to snap. And that's not even folding it over all the way.

And the plant is so short and busy that none of the branches for through the screen either lol

The plant is loving the KISS method!!! I should have went with tap water since the
Start. Getting bigger after each feed...



Does anyone know why my plant is so busy and short ? I gave one of my plants to my friend and he planted it outside. His already grew 6 plus inches. Is my LED keeping it from stretching ?

Possibility, did you clean up any of the undergrowth from where you topped?

I topped at the 5th node, there's a bunch of little branches and leafs that are so weak, could I just remove those too? It's a jungle down there

You sure can. No healthy ones but those few with rust just pinch them off, don't worry with sissors. Don't over bend your plant when there short and stocky you will break it. I have broke 3 from over training. Your led is keeping that way which is good in your situation.

Yes you can technically cut everything below where you topped. Just clean it up to your definition of cleaned up.:cool:

Haha well knowing my OCD I'm going to want to remove everything that doesn't need to be there.

BUT since I don't want to stress my plant what's an optimal amount to remove first. I've never taken anything out before.

And as for LST I definitely will want to wait. Still too sort lol. It this is a very good problem to have.

If you can bend it at all that's still LST bending something til it breaks or is under a lot of stress doesn't sound like low stress training to me!
This was 1 day after i topped the bush for the first time ;)160222%231.jpg

Just start with the unhealthy and stand back and take a look. I think your goal right now would to make sure light can get down as far as possible. Just enough leaves to do that. Make her look healthy. If you look good you feel good.

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Pretty much cleaned out the bottom 1/3 of my plant. Hopefully it doesn't stress out too much.
Too growth is coming out a little twisted still.
