They are under a 400 Watt Mh. Lights were about 18 inches from the plants for there first two weeks on 24/0. Moved em up in hopes that they would grow a bit taller. You cant really tell from the pictures but the new node is a 5 leaf set.
The burn you are speaking of was actually a deficiency (i believe not totally sure), was running straight distilled for the first week with almost no ppms. Added some nutes and it went away. Just in case anyone is trying to learn from my mistakes. Could be wrong though. Thanks a ton bigby, I enjoy reading all of your posts. Mad propsLittle bit of what looks like nute burn in the first pic - although the newer growth appears free from it, so maybe you already solved that.
Lovely looking little plants apart from that. Hope the grow goes well.
I thought about doing lst during grows for a couple of years and didn't. Once I did, I wondered why I hadn't before.
Ah, ya learn something each day (many things coming on here). I thought it must be an issue you had in hand, too much quality to whole set up for that not to be the case.
Yea, Ive read that lst is somewhat simple. My concern is, like yourself and others have said, starting the lst when they have 5 nodes or when there about a foot tall. My plant is only 4 inches or so and it working on its 5th node. Should I bend it over when its that short or wait for it to get about a foot?I thought about doing lst during grows for a couple of years and didn't. Once I did, I wondered why I hadn't before.
It is a very easy process and can bring stunning results (check out my latest post in the grow link in my sig for pics). I left mine till late as I was planning on vegging for a long time. But once you have about 5 nodes it should be practical. The decision really comes down to how long you were planning on vegging imo. If it's only a month then maybe don't bother; 2 months and train away I say.
