I started low stress training on the younglings today, what type of inrease in quality and quantity will i expect from cfl grow? is it significant or just a wee bit better?

thanks,

pretty significant actually. The low stress training allows for light to hit the lower nodes. When it's done vegging it will look like you have several plants in one pot. I have 6 total colas on mine and did LST. the oldest two lower colas are just as big as the main cola. LST is a must with CFL. Check out my post "4 Weeks Flowering first time grow" and you will see. Way worth it.

damn yeah yours looks pretty damn nice so the lst creates those extra colas? or is that from cutting anything

Well I cut about 9 clones from her. But I think it's good to cut some in veg so you can centralize more energy to less colas. Also thinning it out allows the light to penetrate the buds better. I cut a couple off about 2 weeks into flowering because it was too crowded, but try to make all your cuts before flower though to reduce any unwanted stress. It seems to take a few more days to come back after making cuts and that's bad during flowering IMO. I'll be watching. Got any pics? Thanks for the compliment.

on my first grow i trimmed it down to the cola but it was autoflowering and pretty small anyways but here is a pic of the one i just lst, its small as fuck and was stunted at seedling stage for several reasons probaly, but i just tied the top down with a wire is this what its supposed to look like?

Yeah that looks perfect. If its just a plain wire I'd use plastic covered paper clips or pipe cleaners so it's not bare wire on the plant cause it might cut/dig into the stem when it gets bigger. I used the fuzzy pipe cleaner that you can get at walmart or craft sotres. But that's looking great.

k awesome i got some fuzzy pipe cleaners, this is my test plants im just tryiing everything out i guess even though i have no idea if there male or females, i just know there chrystal and ice, but i think im going to try to cut the top of the plant off to get the 2 colas? is there any special form to this or just cut the tip off?

I got 6 colas that grew about 1 foot long each from LST and CFL. It good.

Same here man. Check out my CFL grow. It's sick. 6 colas as well with LST.

Great. Yeah mine started off as a test or just something to do and I got 2 fems out of 3. You can top it and get 2 colas, yes. But you should do it early to a very new growth to reduce stress. Cut the stem right below the (new) leaves at a 45 degree angle (45 degrees for a couple reasons). Just make sure you have about 5 nodes before doing this. If it's too small you can use fingernail clippers to get a nice cut. But don't worry, there's a reason it's called weed. This plant is pretty indestructable unless you feally F it up. lol good luck.
