When do i remove the ties on a flowering plant?

Now I don't fully understand which location on the plant you chose to tie your plants off at, and I don't know if you have done this to allow side growth or if you have done this due to its weight increasing and not being able to stand by itself. there is a "BUT" here. Regardless your going to want to keep it tied down until harvest day.

TIP:If your using it to hold your heavy colas upright, then you can use a tomato cage which has 360 degrees of coverage to hold those ladies up. also you can try bamboo because it may be a bit cheaper. place the bamboos in 3s around your plants creating a triangle shape then try placing tomato clips around the lower stems. you shouldn't have a problem holding them up if you use the clips and make sure you "lollipop" which is essentially taking off all the sucker leaves at the bottom of the plants before and during the first week of harvest. Remember you want to take off about 1/3 to 1/4 off your plant depending on its growth style and her genetics.

hey tommy thanks for the reply. The reason that plant is tied is because it was LST'D , i used garden wire tied to the rim of the pot . all the ties are right where the nuggs are starting to grow. So u say leave it tied till i chop her down? I lollypopped a bit ,there was alot of light green branches and leaves. However i did this last week which was right around the 1 month mark into flowering. How long do you think that will delay my harvest day?

again thanks for the info.

Did you arrange a safety word? cn

If you used the LST method then it should be permantly held in the position it was tied down to. The plant makes this its permanent position because all of the parts that you tied down and stressed where reinforced and they usually harden too, which increases yield. But anyways you should be able to remove it now, as long as it has been tied for at least a week or two.

LOL yeah the word is STINKY

OK, thats good to know, its been tied down since 3 weeks into veg. it vegged for 6 months so it should be good then. thanks

Goddamn man what kinda monster r u tryin to grow by vegging ur plant 4 6 months. How tall is the plant that u vegged for 6 months?

Well its bubba kush , so i was trying to get as much out of it as possible, since i only have one plant. For vegging for six months its just shy of 4 feet tall but she has 11 colas.
