You should have one anchoring her and another pulling her in the opposite direction if your trying to LST her. Also, if you think she is going into to shock shoot her some vitamin b-1 or Super Thrive..... The piont of LST is to open your plant to new budsites and eventually having an even canopy for EVEN LIGHT DISTRABUTION.... Also like a scrog without the screen....:hump:

First pic is my plant tied at the base and then bent in the opposite direction
Second pic by bending I opend alot more budsites
Third pic is the even canopy I was talking about..... All the plants you see in my pics are 3 days into flowering.......:weed:

thats why its called training, start bending her now, and continue to do so as she grows.
you can use twine, unwaxed dental floss, anything realy as long as it doesnt have any chem's on it.

dont you need to wait for her to get taller to bend her back???
Yes, the youngest should have at least five nodes and I would say no later than 10 since the main stock will still be fragile (bendable) if any older than 10 nodes you might need to pinch the bitch and then bend, but not snap....:weed:

I would actually begin to bend her in the opposite direction with anything, even some knitting yarn.....

Ya when i first started i wattered to much, but now i dont water unless the soil is dry.[/QUOT


I think from the pics above, she does look a little overwatered. You can tell, because of the really droopy leaves from a side view....... This is a number one indicator of overwatering, not here to argue just give my thoughts and help if needed. Other than that she looks OUTSTANDING, perfect node spacing and everything......


I really do not think she is to young to begin bending, but you are bending her wrong. You are bending her at the roots and not by the "MAIN STOCK".

When you first begin bending your plant you always tie between the second or third NODE and tie it to your bucket, but the point of this tie is just to keep the "STOCK" from bending and not the roots.

Then you take another tie and place it around the fifth node and pull in the opposite direction and tie to bucket..... Here is an example!!!!!

Ok well i have the fans on the box its not the best job, but its more air flow which is good. Two of the fans are intake and 1 is an exit. I will post pics of the plant tonight.

:peace:
This post is quite a few back, but if your grow box is airtight you should have one fan as an intake and two blowing the air out. It will create a vaccuum that sucks air across your plant, or so I've read.

Its not an airtight box i just wanted some extra fans to move the hot air out of the box, cuz when the lights are on i hane the door cracked and a white sheet placed over the opening and another larger fan sitting outside the box.
