Well is actually supposed to be "low-stress training" or LST but it allows more light to get to the side branches, witch produces more bud sites therefore you get more bud.im new to growing and stressing. i have plants in the flowering stage and they are getting quite tall even though i topped em. and i know they are going to get even bigger. so i "stressed" them by bending the tall branches and tieing them down with strings.. im just wondering does this actually produce more bud and can i untie them after awhile and not have to worry about them going back to how tall they were before?? please assist.
You may wanna slow down on those nutes, maybe just feed every other or every third time! How old are yourcool.. thats good bc i hope to get lots of buds.. i like to smoke a lot.
ive got two females that are looking good.. usin fox farm nutes on em every other day.
girls? You got any pics
ok ill slow down a bit on them i definatly dont want to burn em ive heard thats bad news. they are about 14 days into flowering now. no sighns of bud yet but im sure it will start soon. heres a few pics of the one im stressing, shes bushy and after bending them there definatly has been more bud sites in the middle.You may wanna slow down on those nutes, maybe just feed every other or every third time!

Nice size on them, Girls? Have they shown sex yet?? They look a lil droopy tho. How long did you veg for?ok ill slow down a bit on them i definatly dont want to burn em ive heard thats bad news. they are about 14 days into flowering now. no sighns of bud yet but im sure it will start soon. heres a few pics of the one im stressing, shes bushy and after bending them there definatly has been more bud sites in the middle.
Well hell yea, they look niceya they are females for sure. i vegged on that one for a month and a half so that the other one could catch up. my other one is smaller it only vegged for 3 weeks but its hedies. and the bigger one is now starting to show signs of bud
im using 6 23watt cfls above the big one.. and 4 23watt cfls above the small hedie one. i have mylar on the top of all of them keeping the light in with the front open for ventalation. im still having trouble understanding the watering of my plants; they seem to drink a lot. sometimes twice a day it seems. ive been giving them just plain water for two days then nutrient water on the third day.. i hope this is a good way to go about it i dont want to burn them..but i want them to have big buds.
Your plant will tell you when they are thirsty or over-hydrated and you can get a $10 meter if you cant talk to your plants yet, LOL. Seriously yours are looking a little over-hydrated because your leaves are drooping and cupping. Main thing to remember they really dont like tons of water because they breathe through their roots and if they are saturated the roots cant get Oxygen and this leads to root rot. Get a meter that is the easiest way. Plus just food for thought I always cut back on watering during flowering anyways, it will make your girls sticky and highly resinous. Keep it up though they are looking great.im using 6 23watt cfls above the big one.. and 4 23watt cfls above the small hedie one. i have mylar on the top of all of them keeping the light in with the front open for ventalation. im still having trouble understanding the watering of my plants; they seem to drink a lot. sometimes twice a day it seems. ive been giving them just plain water for two days then nutrient water on the third day.. i hope this is a good way to go about it i dont want to burn them..but i want them to have big buds.
haha. yah i tri to just monitor it and give it water when the top of the soil gets dry. but i think you may be right they do get kind of droopy. thanks for sure ill slow down on all the water ive been givin it and just monitor as much as i can.Your plant will tell you when they are thirsty or over-hydrated and you can get a $10 meter if you cant talk to your plants yet, LOL.
