Too old??? Never! haha Seriously - I don't tie mine down until they are in flower, if one of 'em gets too big and starts tryin to hog the light. But when they are older - start the training when they are thirsty, they are a bit more flexible then. And go slow - don't try to bend an older plant all the way down, in one step. Don't forget to tie a line to the base of the stalk, going the other way! They're strong - will uproot themselves trying to straighten out, if you let them!lst was what I was thinking, I just didn't know if they were too old/big for that...
I personally feel if you aren't using FF you probably should be lol. As far as not knowing, I wasn't trying to haze or anything, I was just simply saying go slow and they should be fine. I will do a Lst to help with your plants and you can follow along with me. Give me until the end of the day and I will post a thread dedicated to Lst for you. I would like to flower some of my bigger ladies (mothers) but know they will be HUGE and will need more room and light than I have. I will lst them until I feel they won't grow to the light too badly I'll get back to yalol, Really!? Remove the pole!? haha jk!
& jeepers you 2! Act like I'm crazy for thinking they're too old, why don't ya I just didn't know, since ALL of the info you find out there says you need to do it within the first few weeks, like when they only have 3-4 sets of leaves, etc.
I kept the pole so that the bottom of the stem could stay grounded by that. Slightly bent them so they're just kinda flopped over, & going towards the side light. To be honest they seem pretty content like that! I figure tomorrow I'll pin them down & I'll probably work it into a loose coil as it grows. I figure that will be best so I don't have to rearrange lights, add lights for the length, etc etc.
And since I got my butt chewed... I went out & bought YET ANOTHER thing of nutes. This one is from a local nursery.. kind of like a special homemade recipe.
It's 24-8-26. I think the high nitrogen will definitely help them. It's been like 4 days since the last time I gave them a tiny amt of the other stuff. So I gave them a teeeeny tiny bit of this stuff. See how it goes I guess.
& closetgrowth.. Soil probably looks crappy because I don't feed from the top. I've got a bottom feeder pot, that's what these girls prefer! They spazzed every single time I've ever tried watering from above. Plus it's a mix of soils. It doesn't always look the best, but it usually works fabulously!
I know I probably should be using FF... But the stuff I got the other day seems to be working fabulously!! My baby girls are looking awesome They've got they're color back, & they're really filling out. Which is *exactly* what I wanted!! YAY!!I personally feel if you aren't using FF you probably should be lol.
I know.. I was just pickin on you!As far as not knowing, I wasn't trying to haze or anything
Pick some up for me too!I may start a thread dedicated to "Lst" as well as "cloning" today but will get back to ya on it. I need to do a few transplants too as soon as I can. I need to pick up some more soil lol FF
