Hey guys. I wanted to thank everyone again for stopping by this thread and leaving your input. My harvest is just days away and everyone should stay tuned to the final pics of harvest and final dry weight after drying. I'm so excited, the plant did excellent. No real problems with her. I did find the LST interesting because it keeps you busy when you have to work on her. If you don't have time to dedicated to her don't try a big LST, just grow regular, easy and simple. My black widow plant will be going into the flower room as soon as the White widow is done, BW is another monster in the making because she has been vegging for longer in think........My clones are amazing, I topped both clones and growing to try a different grow method and that is growing only 2 main tops. Curious to see how much can i can get out of a plant with only 2 tops under my 250W. Stay tuned friday next week is harvest day so come on and stop by and check it out!

I think what your doing is pretty damn legit, most people just upgrade to a 1000w but you are pushing your 250 to the MAX. Nice work.

The way I see it! If I can't reach my goal of 1/2 pound with my current WW grow then I will keep trying and trying until I can accomplish that goal. I think its extremely possible to grow 1/2 pound with 250W, you just need a huge plant, LST correctly!

your shits looking pretty good dude im doing the same thing with a 600 watt and 6 plants you should put a ruler next to the buds so we can see how big they are but if i had to guess id say 4-6 oz but its hard for me to tell but dude a half pound is hella doable with 250 good job but you should upgrade to at least a 400 you will trip at the distence you oviously put alot of time into your plants so if you had a 400 a half puond could be easy and you could shoot for a LB ha haaaa im subbed +rep

Whats up Doggy D. One hell of a show you got here. Looks like you're gonna have a bunch of quality buds on your hands either way. 1/2 lb or not.

Do you defoliate at all? It may help to ripen up the lowers. Also, have you considered using a screen?

Can't wait to see the end results! Stay free my brother:peace:

Well dog you were right about being patient. Just about every day i get to pin some growth down and it gives me quality time with the girls. It is fun screwing around with them. I will say that you have to be careful or the wires will bite into the stems they grow so quickly. Rock on dog and i can't see why you would not lst. Its been fun watching your grow. Thanks.,

I know how you feel. Performing lst allows you to be able to spend more quality time with your plants.

hey if u guys got n e problems pining go to the dollar store .... pipe cleaners are AWESOME!!!! a dollar for 50
Great Idea! I started my LST with large Paper clips keeping everything tight to the soil. Once she began to flower I removed all paper clips and let her stretch for like the first 4 weeks of flower. After that I took some fishing Line with a nice loop at the end and am using that to hold everything into place. The only thing with fishing wire if not careful, the line will cut threw your stem, thats why you should have a nice size loop on the string. It works for me really nice.

Yes. I defoliate early into flowering just to get some of those huge fan leaves out of the way. I leave 6 big fan leaves for every top and defoliate everything below that, only big ass fan leaves. I have considered using a screen which I have in my possession but have not used it yet. I figure this is my 2 harvest so just a little more learning for me and I am ready for the screen. I want to do the whole closet and I'm not ready for that yet. I'm trying to get this nutrient learning down pact and trying to grow great tasting buds before I jump into something New like a screen.


You want to know something...honestly I don't think I'm defoliating anything the next plant just because i have notice the buds that have the huge fan leaves connect to are huge, huge and the ones with no big fan leaves buds are smaller.....And that's from what I have experienced this grow!
