I thought I would share a pic of how I like to start my clones. Bubble gum clone, topped, super cropped, LST with a paper clip and a little haircut to promote more consistent growth. She will stay in this 6" pot for a bit longer.

Great thread, well written and pics helped a lot. Would you recommend doing this without scrogging? I was thinking about doing it up until the first LST and just letting the plant grow because my vertical space is limited.

Certainly wont hurt

Nice threads. Thank you for sharing at RIU!
String with eye hooks, great idea!

Have you had any problems with the clothes hangers rusting up?

I did not but I only used those for a few runs. Now I'm in hydro and use other ways to hold down the 4 arms, you can get creative as you want.

wow man. just read the whole thread. seen it in your sig. I think I am doing to try this next go around. or maybe just scrog. not the topping. because i dont like cutting on my plants lol

Tough to scrog w/o topping.....

I've screened both those, good choices

nice. how did you run em? 4plant scrog w 2 and 2 each strain?

no, I ran a full few screens of each one (4 plants to a screen)

ok ok. got any pics or vids? id love to see what they look like

Best time to LST? When it's dry right before you water it, or right after it's watered?

Anytime ECP!

Very nice guide

Nice thread buddy

I broke a stem doing this today =/ but that's ok. What's the best way to repair this? So far I just gave it support and now I think I'm going to try Zip tying it.

I like to use duct tape to mend broken stems. Either that or just make it a cutting and move along! Good luck!
