LST??

So I just turned my plant to 12/12 today and decided I would try lst too.I was wondering if this was rite and will help get a bigger yield.p.s. this is my first time trying lst.any advice will be very well appreciated.thanks

bruh if you just flipped her into 12/12 than I flip her back to 18/6 because from the looks from that plant you have there you aint gonna yield much! You wanna get a good yield you prob wanna veg for somewhere around 5-6 weeks under 18/6 that will give you a lil better yield. I personally flip my girls after 3+ months or so but I have the room. Whats your growing conditions? light grow room specs like ceiling height width etc?

Just to let you know that performing lst is usually for auxin based purposes- that is tying down the main bud (apical bud) site so that lower bud sites are stimulated because they then produce more of the hormone auxin. So tying the whole plant sideways a bit isn't going to achieve much, but the plant looks healthy and I agree you should let it veg longer because you wont yield very much.

yeah they are very agreeable you can veg your plant forever but you need space and if you want to get into lst and high level stress have a look at mainlining its a hardcore level of stress lol its only for lots of space though but you should veg for a while and top and lst the plant mote because you will increase your yield if you have like 20 heads you never top to get two heads i always say your better off naturally leavingthe plant with one fat head

That will definitely help more light get to those lower internodes which should as a result boost up your yield. After a couple days of the plant getting used to being bent like that you can bend the stem a little more parallel to the ground to even things out even more.

Looks like you're lacking on space so I can see why you flipped it already, I guess some people don't understand what its like to be limited on space. Next time just start training earlier while in veg, that will keep it shorter and bushier and allow you to veg a little longer. Plant looks great though, real healthy.

boost yeld from 3 grams to 3.2 grams

Every bit counts

i say trial and error, and the less you post on here the better IMO, just because 9/10 times ppl are here to poke fun at you and yr setup, I have had it all thrown at me, I just trial and error, and read up as much as you can, if you have a really good question you cant find answers for, that's when I turn to this, and brace myself for the barrage of asshole comments. there will be a couple that genuinely want to assist you....plant looks good tho, i would had vegged a little more, but you will find your sweetspot by just trying things out. rule of thumb is about 6 wk veg, and then let the plant tell you when its finished. have any questions feel free to message me as well.

Well I was thinking bout it and I think I'm going to upkeep it in veg for another week or so.And like I said I've grown before and know how to I just never grown with just a little bit of room and wanted to try it out but thanks for the help everyone.much appreciated

How old is your plant?

More than two weeks

more like from 1.3 to 1.5 grams, if it finishes


Its not big enough to flower and has not built up the proper chemicals to allow flower. A seedling outgrows 50w of cfls in 20 days slowing by day 15.
I've heard it takes 10000 lumens per square ft of plant to bud properly even though lumens have nothing to do with the plant. Save up like $30 for fertilizer and more cfls plus sockets etc. and find at least twice as much room man cus the plant will be 3 times that size when/if it does bud.

You can start your LST now. Check out my journal to get an idea of how you want your plants to look and grow. If you have anymore questions or concerns ill be glad to help. Anything yiy want to know just google it abd if you feel that you didnt get what youre looking for the community will help.

Here's some pics I just took rite now I tied down more so the light can hit the lower part of the plant.

It looks like she's off to a good damn start tho. Just if you have the space and proper lighting I would strongly suggest you veg her!!

plant would have looked better if either off center in pot, or if you had topped and tied down the resulting tops in opposite directions.

Stay on the main stalk now cause if you untie it or let it gain any vertical height, your tiedown wont be effective at all and those lower branches will stay lower branches, meaning wasted energy, and a plant with a weird "shift" in it from being bent

just curious what the string is doing....I think yr twisty tie is probably enough....

I drill screws into the side of the pot, and use large twisty ties to hold down the longer branches, because I too have height limitations.
