First Time LST's and TOPPING's (with Pictures).

On 13/2 I TOPPED 5 of my 23 Clones
It was the first time I'd ever attempted it
but I had instruction from Jondamon.

On 17/2 the 5 Clones had 2 symmetrical stems,
which looked strong and vigorous.


As I was so pleased with the outcome
I TOPPED a further 8 of my Clones.

I then did LST on 2 of the Topped Clones (19/2)
and, when they seemed fine 24 hours later,
I LST'ed another 2.

I would appreciate any constructive criticism
or suggestions to improve my grow.

One of the reasons I only LST'ed 2 of my Clones
was, on the very first attempt,
I pushed the 'bend' a touch too far
and it became a 'snap'.
(Like when a drinking straw is bent too far
and it snaps along a crease....?)
I have since learned that this is a technique called SUPERCROPPING
I did it accidentally, on a plant previously TOPPED
so I don't know how it will end up looking....
But today, 24 hours after the accidental supercrop
She looks fine.

If it appears to have been recovering after the initial training/breakage, it will most likely continue to make a full recovery. In 24 hours the leaves should all be facing the right direction too (right side up facing the light).
It's really very interesting to watch, and part of the fun of lst!
