Low Stress Training (LST) Guide

Heres my LST progression with a 6 inch clone

My friend's clone from the same plant

Did my last tie down and topping today

Over doing it, lol, silly

35 days from sprout, 7 days since flip.

Top left is natural, to Top Right is topped once, LSTd--bottom left topped once, LSTd--Bottom right, topped once, not LST,

I counted 75 possible tops, in a 2x2, 125 watts, Coco, AN nutes, recharge.

Those look super healthy! Im about to start my Critical Purple Autos in amost the same set up, cant wait, im a bit worried that all my topping and LST has forced the plant to stay in veg and i wont get the full amount of time flowering before im forced to harvest by weather or those damn butterflies laying eggs on everything

Thanks L30, so far so good. I could of stretched out the top Right one probably another 5 inches each way, but with small space, i have to let them grow verticly now. all the middle branches are just about caught up anyways, they grew 2 inches since last night to now. Hope they are all female, but 1 i think is showing signs of male,

U talking the white butterfly?

Monarch butterflies laying eggs in late summer are the biggest problem here in MA, then u get those damn worms eating and pooping in ur buds lol

Update, came home to some aphids on my plant last night, hit the top and bottom of the leaves with some cold water and a little dawn and theres no trace of them this morning, looks like a little olive tree haha

Looks awesome L30, good luck with the pestesess.

Here is an update for ya, All male except for the one in the small mug. almost 100% sure.

37 days since sprout, 9 days since flip. not hairs yet, and i usually can spot them in 6 days most of the time, but these are sloooooow, and i know some strains take 14 days, but Im seeing development i was hope not to see... At the beginning of this run, i made a prediction of what were males, and what were females, mind you, i started with 9. So, as time went, so did space, and had to eliminate one a day, to keep the best looking ones by time I got to 4 total.

The big tall one, was in the solo cup, which i think is going to also be a male, but to early. The LSTd ones, I think are male. Im going to check them out later, luckily, i have a way to tell which plants I choose from the start, even without being labeled. I think i might have found a way to tell if plant is male or female after the 3 rd node is established. I will know more later on this.

Crazy thing tho, is the bottom left plant is FireOG that i got from last run, and its a male? ;/ Might keep just for pollen if it is, because they other that i have in there are some awesome bagseed from 2 runs ago. I think its like skywalker, or a tangie strain.

Damn, if they do turn out to be males thats super disappointing, i wouldnt give up hope tho until u see it actually grow balls, my friend even was gonna chop down their largest plant cuz they thought they saw balls and they just turned out to be slow developing pistils, shot hairs the next day, dont stop believing lol

Here's sum plant bondage.

lol, I think they are all female now.. See hairs on 3, and 1 i think is female, might see a hair tip, but maybe not, BWHAHAHAHAHA.

Downside, I was hopeing 1 was male, so i had more room, so probably going to scrog now, its outta control.

didnt want to defoliate either, but might not have a choice. ALOT of leaves. This light is a baddddd mofo for veggin, thats for sure.

Hmm yea bottom right might have to go, most new growth is on the base where it doesnt do u much good, getting beat out in height by the others, u could be fine with all of them just wont get lots past those top kolas without all the extra room

Well, i think this is male, seen 1 white air tho, so thought it might not be. Still might not be, if not, these are going to be giant buds, lol, what you think.?

Damn those are gonna be tasty lol, i just got an oxyclone machine and stuff to start cloning my diesel plant indoors and started a critical purp seed

Here's the stem of my lst "spiral" on 8/10. I'll post some more pics that are in focus later. This is the plant on Jul 23 ~2 weeks ago
