Gave them another watering today. Can't believe how much growth there has been the past few days! They're over 4" tall now! Tiana's leaves are getting large and spreading out while Ariel's are staying smaller and close in. Can't wait to see the difference in buds on both these girls!

Hell ya it does!! Now I'm half tempted to do a tiny bit of LST to the smaller of the two plants (Ariel). Tiana is growing too perfectly symmetrical for me to fuck with, but Ariel isn't the "straightest" arrow so I wouldn't feel bad about bending her over some (no pun intendedhaha it feels nice to KNOW doesent it
)

I probably will start tonight. I'll be switching over to 12/12 in less than 15 days so I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make on yield. It would just be nice to experiment with it and to get some nice main colas

that is plenty of time if u ask me. 2 weeks+ of lst. i would continue to lst lthe 1st 3 or 4 days into flowering. some of the stretch will be reduced but only because ur training. u should yield a lil more with lst. more light going to places it couldn't if it wasnt 4 u lst'n it. those lil popcorn nugs will be a lil bit bigger and it all adds up

Nope, gonna be patient and wait for next winters grow. Traffic at my house is too high in the summer to grow anything so I can only do one grow a year.
Like I said just right above here, I can only grow at certain times in the year so I won't be taking any clones (although I'd LOVE to now that I know they're female!). Next winters grow I'll either be doing a scrog or an lst, just growing a single plant. Can't wait
Stay tuned for the 5 week picture update later today!!! You won't believe their size now!!

LSTing will not prolong your grow, cloning will. all the LST is going to do is trick the plant into thinking all the side branching are tops and give you more colas

have yopu been to https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/487587-first-grow-soil-400w-mh.html this thread?
if you have time browse through it he shows a really good example of what LSTing can accomplish and his grow has not taken any longer than a normal grow

Most exciting update yet! We're about a week from flipping to 12/12 now as both girls are 4.5" tall
Hers a pic of the new fan blowing fresh air onto my girls 24/7.
Ariel is the smaller of the two plants that I was previously planning to LST.
Tiana is my favorite plants as she is spreading out perfectly, has larger leaves and branches, and is also starting to form a reddish color on some of her stems.
Temps steady I the lower 80's and still not using any nutes. This time next week, if they reach 6" by then, I will be flipping them to start flowering.
