Im LSTing my Purple Bubba Kush. Im growing under t8's so I LST them to keep them all uniform so I can keep the lights nice and close. I drill holes all around the top or rim of my pots and use those to tie string to and tie them down early. Right now they are all a month old and wrapped about a 1/4 of the way around the pot. I'll probably let them get a little bigger before flipping over to 12/12 so that I can have it wrapped all the way around the pot.

hey bam do you have any pics?
I just transplanted today actually lol. The roots are growing crazy on these guys. A week ago I transplanted from a 1.5q pot to a 3q pot. Today I just transplanted them to 3gal pots. Im gonna let them stretch out with out any restraints for a day or two but I'll take pics when I do tie them back down

The strains that i am growing right now are between 80% to 90% Indica. So, then I should only expect my girls to grow a little more then double after 12/12?
Indica will grow 50% to 100% so if you let it get 1 foot tall it may get 1' 6" to 2'. Of course this is just an average ballpark figure you can have the odd plant that that doesn't but this is the general rule for indica dominant plants.

Transplanting shocks your plants no matter how passive. Better to start in one container then transplant to the container your going to flower it in.

5-6 weeks veg is usually good for most strains i grow....topping and LST do help out..but do the homeworl on your strain..some take better than others..some do better left untopped..but LST works better regardeless IMHO

LST is good just bend the plant so the lower leaves get light. and depends how much you want to veg for.. if u don't have any stash already veg for like 2 weeks. if you have a good amount of stash 2 blaze.. then veg for 5-7weeks.

yeah i don't have any stashed.:cry: That is probably why i wanted to rush it a bit. lol The strains that i have are said to flower in 50-55 days. Well, we will just have to see.:hump:

are they dinafem. dinafem usually grow quicker, but i duno 50-55 days sounds a bit 2 quick. id say flower needs 2 be 60 days minimum.

I can't really find any info on these strains except for the breeders site. The girl in the front is sugar black rose and the other is northern light blue. If anyone stumbles on some info or a grow journal on ether of these strains for god's sake let me knowimg0159.jpg
