Well day 21 and the girls look like this I've been tying them down but you can see the one bigger plant shes really messy looking shes got a tonnes of new undergrowth coming in and huge fan leaves blocking everything so I tie to the pot and also use garden staples to push the big leaves back out of the way is that the right thing to do they are metal is there another way to tie back leaves using something different because I have seen rust spots on the staple.and then just switch them out with a new one after peace guys thanks

Welcome Ghostkillar33,

You're off to a good start. Did you have a end goal for your LST? As in to fill a certain space, make her wide and bushy, or cola city ?

The more you keep on top of training and continue to leaf tuck, ponytail, and train, the bushier she will get.

Staples are better than nothing. I reckon you could spray them with Plasti Dip to prevent rust.
I use pipe cleaners.

It's in the journals and such. sorry about that.

Hi Ghostkiller. If they were mine I'd let them grow without too much concern to the leaves blocking what will become bud sites soon. Some folks like to remove lots and tuck the rest. I have been more relaxed with the leaves getting in the way because I'm finding buds form and ripen with or without leaves shading them. Later on when there's a few weeks left I do take leaves that shade lower bud. Early on I like to pretty much let them go.

Ya until they are in flowering shouldn't matter it's only my second grow I get worried about my yield and you were saying something about your journal before does that have pics of your grows?? And how would I get there to see your pics? I'm new to this forum lol

The two beating heartbeats below are the journals I'm working on now. If you click them you'll get there. In the Finished Journals and such there's more.
