OMG BEEF'S AT IT AGAIN! AREA 51 AF240 ** BCBD 'The Purps'** SCROG!

It`s really hard to see ... but anyway, I bought 3 packs of plant ties (velcro!!) from home depot (about 3 months ago) it`s amazing how much more you can yield using those ties. It didnt take long for the full 3 packs be used (it`s a roll and you can cut to desired length) and to also stick on the smart pots!! and re-usable!!

Often time, I move the plants in my room, and wherever I have ``holes`` where the light is not hitting plants matter, I just bring a bud right there, done! I really like the mini bungee cords too!!

here you can see recently I moved the grinspoons in the middle and I placed the flimsy branches where I wanted them.




Here you can see how I was able to keep this plant very low, I kept tying the 4 tops down on it`s container, it was really easy to move around too, often time I tie my branch on a different pot and I forget about it, then I go to move the plant and I see the branch from the plant next to it wanting to follow hehe...

View attachment 2453246 (sorry for the sickly plant!! but it`s got nothing to do with the way I trained her!)

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY THEM!! hehe


EDIT

Here you can see the WW before I moved it from room2 to the tent, an amazing structure for a 12/12 from seed, that`s a plant that was growing very vigorously and I could tie her down on her container and she would just bounce back for more.

Dude, that's some really nice and tidy LST...

hehe I edited as you posted, that WW shows it even better! those velcro ties are the shit , especially if you are using smart pots

I never thought that they could stick to the sides of the smartpot/ awesome info Enduro.....+rep

hehe Thanks psuagro, I wish I would have thought of it first

by the way I am posting a vid on my journal, you can see at 3min20sec how I use the mini bunge cords sometimes, you just gotta be careful to move them on the stem or not put too much pressure because they will dig in the plant. that plant at 3 min 20 was the other half of the that grew a massive buds shown at 3.01 .

Update time!

Everything is coming along nicely! The girls are hella thirsty, strange for having a 3g bag and LED combo...





First pic- One Cindy's tops Really nice bud development so far.

Second pic - One of Pat's tops - strage, but very dense, sticky, and tons of smell!

Third pic - This is the ladies together, looking down. I added another BS light, the BS100. It's about 65w.

Fourth pic - Look at that swollen calyx covered in trich's

Fifth pic - Top of Pat, very, very stocky and covered in trich's.

Sixth pic - The two new purps ladies. They looked a little rough when I checked on them so I gave them some weak nutes. It's their first taste, so it should bring them around.

That's all for now!

Everything is looking great man, diggin all the LST! The velcro strips look like a great idea, did you have any issues with the sticky side getting caught on leaves or anything it wasnt supposed to? Gonna have to buy me a couple rolls. I too am a big fan of LST, the Grand AK im working with right now loves to be tied down, got her growing almost sideways on the main stem! Gonna have to check me out some White Widow for the next grow if it responds the same way! Keep growing im gonna be checking in from time to time to see how its coming along!

I actually used string not velcro, and I did HST, not LST.... but close enough!

My apologies, wake and bake got me confusing your post and another, read back through it, ive been curious about any kind of training during flowering and it looks like you got it right with minimal damage, gonna have to try a bit myself! grow on!

Ok, so I decided to change things up again! I started up the big tent again and now Cindy and Pat are udner the AF-240, and I've moved the wee ladies into the small tent under the PG180 only. Much better setup now.

I did some LST on Cindy too, opened her up a bit.

Sweet looking plants bro!

Thanks man, much appreciated! Hope you enjoy the show!

Ok, so I made some more changes! Cindy is all supported and ready to rock now, I wasn't happy with how the string was holding her up.

Moved the humidifier into the tent too, it's set to 55% RH.


Support strings!


Table with my fan and temp/RH guage. Second pic is the humidifier and boxes I have the plants setting on.


I just liked this picture so I included it

So, I just checked the tent and the ladies are looking fantastic under the AF-240.

They really like the spectrum a lot more!

Made some oil last night;

Got a pretty good quantity! Turned out well too, nice and tacky!


Here's a pic!

Man, that is the first oil I have seen in a long while, last time I got a vial of oil, was somewhere around 1983 paid $10 for it and it kicked our asses..lol

Looking forward to more M8

Peace and Great Grows

Cindy looked like she was having a bad hair day a couple posts back, looks like the revamped ties got her all straightened up. Every time I see pics of "Cindy" I want to add her to my list, or maybe one of her sisters/cousins.

Just curious, why put crates under the plants to move them up, instead of moving the light down?

Yeah, Cindy was looking pretty scruffy for a bit. The new supports are working really nicely.

Right now the light is stationary. I have to buy a hook and a length of chain. The other reason I like propping the plants up instead of lowering the light is I can make the canopy even regardless of how tall each plant is.

Same reason I LST! hehehe

New Updates!

Happy New Years Day everyone!


These are the young ones... They look amazing! Sooooo bushy! The LST and topping has gone exceptionally well. I will top them again within two weeks.
