Lets be precise. LST encourages Vertical Growth along a horizontal main stem. Therefore increasing the likelihood of flowering area. It also allows you to bring lights Closer to the plants without burning them.

LST is designed to give the lower branches access to more light. and to allow the lower nodes to be given a signal to grow UP towards the light. This means ALL nodes Become TOP Colas.... it should be renamed to (Every Node a Cola) LST allows more light to hit the entire plant improving yield...

LST would have greatly improved yield on the plant in the blue bucket.. you're basically leaving weight on the table. from this photo i can count 20 buds that would have been the size of your branch tips. at least 10-20% improvement.

No, By its very definition. You see LST only induces flowering at nodes already present. (orange) Topping DOULBES the amount of branches a single plant has every time you top it. (Labeled at every topping site.) Many strains only produce a main stem with very few branches. as discussed here...

ya depends ... some strains jsut dont produce enough but sites.. so topping will increase branches to make LST more "fruitful" :bigjoint:

Are those hempies? Coco/pearlite?

I've never honestly used the solo cup method. With the air pots I go straight to pot with the seed. And cover with a clear plastic container to keep in humidity. I have a new setup Ill share once I get my WW seeds in.

Ya, Being an old timer when many strains were sensitive to stress some strains would not recover well. But now days as long as the plants are being fed properly and are disease free you can do anything you like to them really. Ive been playing with grafting clones to different mothers with...

I use the same method here. pinch it till it softens and droops . give a bit of support till it bulges back out. plants today are SUPER resilient compared to even 10 years ago.

There really isn't a reason you cant top.. .some strains don't like it but they are few and far between. Ive topped/LST every plant ive ever grown with no ill affect. ive even snapped and split some branches with minimal issues. tape it up and move on. love that the aero pots have gotten to be...

If you are worried about your Coco/pearlite having life in it use a pressure cooker and steam bags like they do with mushroom substrate HERE Once theyre done steaming, let them cool overnight and inoculate them with some Great white or any other Myco product and shake them to inoculate the...

I seriously hope you dont think a "Law" of mathematics changes when you improve technology? Show me peer reviewed empirical evidence instead of conjecture and you got my support. remember even the best led's have very poor quality controls and are still "binned" according to their color, meaning...

Looking good Hyroot! i am working on something nice going to do a hybrid run see if i can max and mix growing methods with lots of great additions.. Mites suck keep on the DE that stuf is the sheeeit. kills anything i suggest using a blush brush and treatingthe plants my blowing a fine mist over...

LED suffer from an advanced or "modified Inverse square law" which leads to "fall off" of the efficiency of led to less than 30% at 20cm from the plant. Isn't science great. article from 2005. Metrology Research Institute, Helsinki University of Technology, P.O.B. 3000, FI-02015 TKK, Finland...

actinic lighting as described in this photo... actinic has proven to enhance growth.

Actinic light is <500nm.. so i don't know if your really getting the concept. if you cant describe the tool you use, you cant hammer a nail with a banana. that being said its about the combination of fuller spectrum rather than one or two discreet wavelengths. I was never "touting" al of my...

nice chart i was working on the same thing however my manufacturer would only come out of china. and theres no way i could make a dime at 29$ each....unless i bought 5k bulbs to bring down the price.
