How am I doing so far?

Dang, I really wish I'd known about this LST stuff sooner. My dad doesn't really want me to start another grow until he see's how this one turns out, and if there isn't much bud then he will think it's not worth putting up the electricity bill for such a small amount... I've read up on reversing the light cycle and found that it may make the plant turn into a herm... so I really don't know what to do. And I don't think I can add two more cfls on each side because that would require two more lamps or stands or w/e and also another timer which I don't have. How much g's do you think I can get if I leave it like this? And also, can I still LST in 12/12 light? Or is that a no?

Dr. Fever, thanks for the info, do you think it would be safe switching back to veg after the sex has already shown?
Also, the sex just started showing like 3 days ago.

from what i read your plant has not kicked its self into flower stage yet so i am thinking it would be safe to do so you need fertilizers
with lots of phos and K with nitrogen being the lower number out of them all
i personally only have grown with clones and re clone my plants for next as for urs not sure what it is for strain but for only having 1 chute and that being on top is making me guess its a male plant to begin with

Well the sex has already revealed itself and i'm pretty sure it's a female.
It just revealed itself about 2 or 3 days ago...

You could still lst it, but you gotta be very careful not to snap it.

Should I just bend it over a little bit, just enough for light to penetrate the middles leaves?

yeah, pretty much. Just dont let one specific cola get taller than the others, because the hormone that tells a plant where its main growth points are located in the highest cola of the plant, if you dont let one get ahead of the others you will have basically all top colas. slowly work your way with bending since your in this far and the stems probally are not the most flexible, over a few days is what i'd do. here's how you should do it, im going to be using pic 2 to explain it. tie it right under that last internode on top and bend it down so it and the other growth points are fairly even, doesnt need to be perfect because those others that may be a bit lower will catch up to the others since you keep tying down any colas that start to get taller than the rest.

Ok got you dark, thanks for the advice. =)
