That's why I was asking you! Your stuff turned out great. Can you recommend any good sources of LST information? Where did you get your knowledge?

I learnt most of my knowledge from MBlaze (link at the start of the journal) n thru sorta just doing it.. I had seen pictures n just tried 2 re-create them. I was just patient n gentle with the plants and they did great :)

Thanks to Ninja and Ironman420, I decided to try the LST thing. Just used kite string tied to pre-drilled holes in the netpot. I pulled all four plants over by tying just below the top set of fan leaves and gently tightening the string. I also set the newly uncovered leaves to the center of the tray to get the maximum amount of light:



Let me know how I did.

No rest for the wicked my friend. I started the seeds a week before my Jock Horror harvest. The Horror has only been in the jars for about two weeks. The buds are turning a deep gold color and are pretty dense. It's a very mellowing buzz, not too heady, but not a couch lock. I still think I cut 1 or 2 weeks early.....

Here's a pic of one of the curing buds (3 grams):


I wish my crappy camera could bring out the trichomes....

Thanks Social. I'm really grooving on the color. I've only grown PPP and Snow White, and they always stayed on the green side....

This is my first LST. I hope it's the right thing to do for the AK-48. I have fought height issues on all of my previous grows...

Thanks for stopping by!

And it's not even my birthday! Thanks Ninja! It's beautiful, and I will certainly be checking out the harvest.

Plants appear to have taken the bending in stride. Due to time constraints, I decided I'm going to run them half-way around the pots or 4 weeks veg, whichever comes first. I also decided to stop the air pruning of the roots and started filling the gaps with hydroton. I expect a nice burst of growth after the roots find all that baked clayey goodness.



After 24 hours, all the growth tips have gone vertical again.



The branches on the back side of the bend are already showing signs of vigorous growth. I also tucked a couple of fan leaves to give those areas more light.



Let me know what you think.

AK48 can triple in size in the first three weeks of flowering. Then it flat out stops altogether. You are going to love it...strong herb that everyone likes. Grows like a freaking champ...is done in as little as 53 days. (though I like to harvest over the course of a week...starting on day 53) She tops really well. (but you are doing LST only...right?)

I was thinking scrog for my next grow. Seems like an easier form of LST.
