i got a t5 in there that puts off 10,000 lumens... and the other ones on the power strip are 46 watts i think each? not to positive at the moment.. lil baked

i think total in the room theres about 16000 lumens!!

so what do you all think about the LST thing on the little ones? are they to big to start.. or does that not mater as long as they're in veg?

i myself would prefer working with a 10 cm plant, than a 5 cm one


hope that helps.....

lookin good and i think LST is fine at that height , not a pro at it ,but i did mine @ the same and they are coming along great

Okay got bored yesterday and decided it was time to experiment some...

So basically I plucked two of the plants in the veg room...I went through and selected two plants that seemed to be two of the taller ones, which had a lot of small, tiny leaf spots along the stem that seemed barely developed, with big ol' leaves up top. Took a shoe box, and have one pulled in the one direction and the other going the opposite direction. I used shoe laces to apply the LST (figured the softness of the material would be okay). I think just in the one day since I began it I've already seen a bit of growth from the mid-areas. I will try and get pictures tonight for some real feedback...

i use shit to weigh my branches down. i hang washers and other little things on my taller branches and lean them all outward. i do this after i have topped it a few times and have like 6 tops. then when the lower branche grow to fill the space in the middle i have one bushy bitch. check out the one i just put in the flower room yesterday after 5wks veg, the second pic is the before shot with the weights on @ 3 wks.

lookin good man keep it up!

quite interesting, nice plants!

Hell ya thats a pretty sweet idea you used there slickwill!! I like it! Full update with all sorts of new pics will be up tonight... Fucking finals are kickin my ass! But these are my last three days.. then its vaca time.

Thanks BuddyJ. this run around i got about 8 A-tops and about that many B-tops training this way. i also topped a couple times after i used the weights. it really helps since i wont have more than 5 ladies at once.

Alright here's a lil update for you all! Just started some trial LST techniques.. if you guys see anything that looks wrong please let us know. Also some new flower pictures! There starting to fill out nicely.. hopefully couple more weeks and they'll start showing some nice color!


First off here's the lst work that was done...


And here's some pics of flowering!!




What do you guys think?

Time to go to bed!
