Just a pic of my current grow.
Doing five "Red Dragon" plants in a 48"x48"x60" growbox with a 600 watt mH & HPS set up.
Growing in a mix of 40% Ocean Forest, 40% sphagnum peat moss and 20% perlite.
Germinated directly in soil using 4" square starter pots, transplanted to 3.3 gallon round pots and started LST when enough time for the roots to expand had been given.
Unfortunately for my plants, I got sick and then hurt my back to the point where I slacked off on moving the light fixtures up in a timely manner (the first 35 days of vegging were under 480 watts of 48" T12 lights).
There was some minor leaf damage on a few of the leaves when the lights where left to touch them for too long, though nothing too bad.
My back is much better, so I'm finally able to tend to my herbs in the manner that they deserve to be cared for!
The plants tips have grown to where they are loosely clipped to the rim of the pots and are wrapped about 3 to 4 inches around the rim so far.
Gave them their first taste of nutes with last night's watering (Pure Blend Pro, Berry Sweet, Liquid Karma) so I should see an increase in growth rate since they're also under the mH HID now.
Will be taking some cuttings from the taller branches for clones (will be my first attempt at cloning), and to make the branches a little closer in size to each other as they flower by using the tallest branches for clones, as well as to clear the way for when the tips have grown full circle and it's time to top them and start flowering.
It's my first time trying the LST method, and am liking what see.
My last harvest is holding strong (about 5 ounces, dry) and I believe I'll have enough to last me until my next harvest.
It's heavy-duty couch lock material, and I've been enjoying the fruits of my labors prodigiously!
