My last lady looks like shes trying to dannce lol:party:
 
Looking nice! Do you wait for a certain number of nodes on the plants before starting LST? Or a certain height? I just transplanted and will be starting the LST soon, just wondered if you all use some kind of growth guideline before starting.
Thanks!
 
Hi Aztec, How are you??
Just scrolling thru some journals when I noticed yours, the LST caught my eye;) I use LST for all my grows, Ive adapted it to suit my space,requirements etc; I cause the plant to produce multiple tops ( 14 + ) main cola's,upto 2ft long each and a nice solid top canopy of buds below that, varying from 3" - 6" each.
I use an organic soil called HUMUS as its really good for plants to grow in, has active microbial life with N,P,K occuring naturally as it breaks down, so about 70% is HUMUS the rest is good premium pot mix, and some fine pea straw mulch. Girls seem to like it, and Ive usually ended up over feeding them as the soil holds nutes well so usually by flower Ive stuffed somethings up, plant been ok, but have had maybe Potass defic or Cal/mag.
PLease feel free to check out some of my grows in my Signature below, you can see how I tether my girls and how they respond, you may get some ideas from it. I use a 400w MH/HPS and am currently using --- nutes, although I found it easier to use my old nutrients as the ratio s of each nute was written as a percentage, not Parts of. My brain computed that easier!
Anyways take it easy and good luck with your harvest, I ususally flower least 60 days, around 70 theyll start to make seed Ive found, Not that I complain, as now I have a fair few seeds of my last grows strain which was a nice quality smoke, Still getting baked daily off it.. Ok, catch ya round bud.. Smokemupm8:goodjob:

hey canna FAN hows it hanging :)? and to answer ur question i have no clue when the perfect time to start ur lst is honestly i started my a week after the first set of leaves came out and have been training them a certain way i want them to go if that makes sense? but i would just go with whatever u think ur ladies, but the sooner u start the sooner they will be use to that type of stress, i kno a couple people that did it in flower and straight snapped a branch of due to there ladies not being use to that type of stress, so i would just say the sooner the better canna :thumb::high-five:

Thanks, I actually did start the LST today. This is too much fun. Looks like your plants are about the same size as mine, so I'll keep watching how you do with it. Looking great so far!:high-five:
 
Subbed up my friend. Just a shout to say their are a couple of ways open to you with LST. Please feel free to check my first and present journal. It gives my techniques for getting huge amounts of end product. Looking forward to it and have fun.
 
Good going my friend, lst is sooo the way forward when you have only a few plants. Looking forward to seeing your progression.
 
Good Day Aztec! green and pleasant thoughts to your girls!
 
She is 1 month today so once she's in her new home, day after tomoz. Ill give her one more week under 400 hps then flip.
