Im not sure why everyone got so stuck on that video and polluted this thread for someone tryna just get some help, nobody said this was the definitive method of training plants, i said myself i dont do this in the same manner kushman does i dont believe stripping plants bare or doing much defoliating in flower (aside to allow even light distribution to the budsites) and kushmans video was a vegging plant not yet into flower lol. All that aside i believe what this thread was intended for was help and not trashing eachothers growing methods... i grow from clone and from seed, i top numerous times in veg (these ladies end up in 20gal pots to flower so i up pot 3 times from a 1gal, 3gal, 7 or 10gal, to finally a 20gal) i keep humidity high (70-80%rh) in veg and temperatures ranging from 77-82°F, then in flower it gets hotter and dryer 80-85°F and 40-50%rh lights go full bore a mix of led and hps, i trellis and train, defoliate throughout veg, at the beginning of week 5 of flower i start to defoliate the plant to even up light distribution throughout the canopy i keep the lights close and i dont feed my plants anything but pure clean water and compost tea their entire life cycle, all in the media cant beat organic living soil
... hope any of this helped sorry people trashed the thread
