When do you actually start LST??

[Miacchi]

im experimenting with using outriggers on my air pots to get the plants to grow outside the circumference of the pot. Shelf hangers work well, but im gonna try some 3/8 inch dowels thru the holes on the side of the pots next.

What's your light set up and medium etc?

The ol spiral technique

Wow im taking notes!! Never heard of the spiral technique I'll definitely look into that.
There is so much i dont know yet!!!
Thank you for your guidance Sirs.


Also i got starter kit for now... Mars hydro 600Led, 2x2x4.5 tent. Cant grow in big space due to housing space restrictions.
Using Coco/perlite medium.

@Retired engineer this what I make up for my air pots, you can put as many eyes as you like.
I use the handle of a paint brush to spin the eyes into it.

It only takes a few minutes to make up.

Last night, that's 43 days from tying 11 days more veg then 23 days 12-12 you can see most of the work was after flipping.

Sorry missed this post somehow!

This still sounds like a science to me!!! I'll have to look up some video guides. It all looks awesome to me

It becomes second nature after you do it for a while. Simply tie down the tallest branches to an open spot on the canopy. The lower growth will catch up with the branches you just tied down and it will all even out.

Thank you! Much appreciated. Im glad there are people who like to help newbies like me.
I can't wait for my first grow ever. Exciting

At the end of the day your just trying to achieve an EVEN & FLAT canopy that fills YOUR space. In your case (I would) start early! (maybe 3-4 nodes?) Then let your imagination run wild yo! Every branch is a bud sight and just don’t forget EVEN and FLAT canopy.
Don’t forget to play music for them! One of the best forms of LST and makes them wayy less stressed

Yes they do like some tunes...

My real tying down starts in early flower to take advantage of stretching, however I top most all plants about 2 we3ks after emerging. This gets the plant ready for training.

So my plant baby is 20 days old now from breaking soil.
Its an auto.
When do you think i should start LST?
Thank you

now would be nice but to each his own.

Nice stock, do the flowers get bigger though, look like like tip of a pencil.

looks like they foxtailed because they ran out of bag to grow in and you cant always help when one stain decides it wants to go hulk on ya. thing looks beastly and looks like some good smoke.

I gave it too much light. Tried to push a little more at the end and that's what it ended up like.

how are you liking jacks? i was told its basically the much better version of miracle grow. any truth to the statement in you opinion or is broski talking out his ass?

 

[Tht_Blk_Guy27]

I wouldn't compare it in the least bit to MG. I absolutely love it. Switched from Mega Crop 1 part and won't go back.

It's cheap.
It's effective.
And it's more water soluble than MC 1 part.

Mixing up 5 gallons and it comes out completely dissolved. Perfect for when/if I move to automated watering.

Yep, I went on a Murano sculpture binge right before Christmas last year...poached most from eBay at 20 -30 percent of retail. I also have some pieces I bought in Murano many years ago...

the tunes are sublime...I listen to lots of songs from my youth and it’s like hearing them for the first time. On well recorded tracks, I can precisely pinpoint every instrument...and I can pin my ass to the couch with heavy bass songs.

Dear sirs, one last question... My plant started showing some yellow dots on the older leaves, 1st and 2nd set. I tried to look it up but im still not sure.
I noticed the heat went up so im keeping it open now, and i did start adding another nutrient, i am suspecting this? ....
Kinda feel like i fcked up so i flushed and praying for the best

The absolute worst thing you can do is overreact.

The heat went up. You added more nutrients. And now you've flushed.

Try to limit changes to one at a time. As of now if they continue to get worse you have no idea which is the cause.
