NEW GROW SETUP (Budget)

[Intuition]

I reckon you can bend her more from the base instead of starting the bend half way up the plant
I mean, tie her in the opposite direction about 3-4" from the bottom, and then tie her over.
You should be able to get a bit more of a bend in her and she'll end up not as tall as now.
Go easy though, you can gradually increase the bend over a few days.
Just my thoughts mate

Yea, ill definately try to maybe slip it down a little more instead of all the way to the top? Is that what you mean? lol I am a little worried bout bending her much but what do you think about it now? Think I will still get that light penetration? Im adding 2 42watt cfls.

Shit, just remembered you should be transplanting into larger pot first before you start tie'n her to the pot. Do that first, let her settle in a bit then LST.
Once she's in her final pot and position, you could almost grow her horizontal. That will increase yield.
Here's a pissy diagram of what I mean. Red lines are your tie points.

Have you not seen the pot its in? I just did a transfer yesterday. Close to 3g. Its in the pics u cant see the entire thing but its big..plenty of room for roots.(doesnt say).

No, didn't notice the pot mate, well done, good.
You can get on with your LST then.

Edit: had to much to drink, thx mammath! i dont know how many other ways i can bend it tho.

Wow intuition she did a complete 180 from the last pic I saw. Looking good bro keep it up. And ya put a support line around the base of the plant so you don't uproot her. Do it 180 degrees from the way you tie the main shoot if that makes sense.

Bro you should stop by my journal. Its getting pretty lonely posting for myself to look at lol.

 

[greenfirekilla420]

also +rep for bringing her back green bro. nice job really you didn't freak out and do anything stupid.

Yea well, I couldnt of done it without you guys ^^. Just gotta listen to the pros thats all . Are you telling me to tie a line around the base? Near the bottom? And just hook it to a side? Lmk. Ive been visitin the journal, that haze is look really green. I wish I could get that kind of greenery =(. Your grow looks really good tho killa. What kind of soil are u using??

also +rep for bringing her back green bro. nice job really you didn't freak out and do anything stupid.

Thanks alot! That means tooo much. Im doing what I can for my first grow. After listening and paying attention to you and the rest of the vets..this girl has done nothing but improve and I appreciate all the help, thx again. Ill update soon. Let me know about the base question. Maybe I can get another example off those pretty lst pics from mammath lol.

I am using Roots Organics Soil, pretty much the same thing as Fox Farm Ocean Forest but with 100% organic. Same price for the bags too. I went with the Roots Organics cause its ALOT airier than the FFOF.

As for the base tie. You see where mammath drew the one red line on the opposite side? Take that line and pull more toward the base of the plant near the soil. This way it acts as an anchor. Just watch to not bend to much to fast. I snapped one in half a couple grows ago doing this. Take your time and she will treat you right.

Alrite I went ahead and did a tie at the base. Think I need to loosen her up a bit though..because I am worried bout snapping her in half. Hopefully the 2 42watt bulbs will help for some penetration down the shoot.

here are a few more pics. I really need to be keeping up with my Garden Safe, I believe im having some kind of insect problem. I didnt snap a pic of the couple older leaves the little fucker was nibbling on . Ill get'm.

Maybe a little higher? ill wait

 

[Mammath]

Yes, that's it! Well done with the LST.
New leaves look green which is a good sign.
She should take off soon now that she's in her new soil.

Thanks!! Cant wait to see what happens. But, something just happened actually and im trying to figure out how. In the middle of there was a branch with not very many leaves but had its own little top. Well the TOP part of that branch in the middle of the plant is slumped over. The leaves are slumped over and the stem of that part feels really soft. The rest of stem is still standing up and feels normal. odd. Thanks again mammath

Edit: In the last pic, its the next little branch on the right side of the plant that you can barely see through the top part of the leaves in front of the pic. That stems main leaves are just what seems to me..dead. The leaves are really soft too. So really its kind of in the mid/low area.

Well came back alive...maybe didnt get the air circulation..wasnt hitting all over the plant.

 

[greenfirekilla420]

Damn bro everytime I see her she looks better and better keep up the good work. I'll be busy making my new cab for a couple days so I'll be out.

Thanks killa. Good luck on the new cab, cant wait to see it and maybe I can get some ideas with this next one I got going .

Alrite well I snapped some more pics because I just noticed some browning on a couple older leaves / tips. I think I MAY have over-fert the little girl since I recently found out that the BMO I diluted...wasnt diluted enough. Im not sure if its a def. at all (maybe potassium). I went ahead and diluted it again and added half a gallon to it. Its been 2 weeks now on ferts and I would assume over-fert would spread all over..but im wrong.

Edit: My hands are pretty.

Anyone else?
