Nah, those led's don't put out much of any heat.

Well, ill chime in, and say so far you are off to a good start, and seem to have a good helper here already (Triplec).
I have done LST a few times on my outdoor plants, and have had great results from it. Indoors, never really did much with it, I always grew SOG style. But recently i have changed my mind and will try out mainlining the next time i pop seed. I wouldn't suggest it on auto flowers, because it involves topping several times thru veg.
Also if I LST in a pot, I always drill small holes around the top edge to tie the string off to, then if you have to add more, tie it the branch and run it through a hole somewhere on the pot.

Haha! Us stealth growers gotta help each other out. I woulda been lost without RIU for my first grow.

As would many of us here now teaching the new comers. That's the point of this site, to educate the people and keep this plant growing!!! Im going to move my way into bigger indoor plants. Try my hand at mainlining under 2 400 MH, i appreciate the challenge every style of growing

Awesome man. Yea, I'd like to have a bigger grow room some day. That's a long ways away though. I need a bigger house and a whole new setup before that can happen. We always have family over and what not so I gotta keep it all secure and stealth.

Day 22



The lst is really starting to take affect now - I've counted 4 new tops that have formed, and it 's growing really fast too! I've moved her a little bit further away from the lights now, but like you said Triplec these LED strips don't give off much heat so I'm not so sure it is heat stress - I think it could be time to start feeding her nutes now, so I'll probably start that off tomorrow and see how it goes.
I'm trying to get the new branches to stretch to the other side of the plant pot, to maximize the yield by using all the space I possibly can, as you can see in the pics.

Looks woorse Like you be give too much nitrogen

Looks good to me.

looks good to me too.....maybe a lil twisting of the fan leaf tips, but no burning yet.

i talk about ganja goblin pics for me looks bad

Yup, we are all talking about ganjagoblins pics., wanna know why?
Cuz it's his thread......i've seen you elsewhere offering random jibber jabber in other peoples thread also.....i think i'll take the step here for the starter of the thread, and inform you to only offer information in areas that you actually hold some knowledge in. Coming into someones thread and offering nothing but demands and insults is a good way to find yourself being removed from threads.
I'm not starting an argument with you here over this, as this is not the place.

Ganja, i apologize for ranting in your thread, but ignorance is not on my list of tolerable things this week

Its ok man, this guy doesnt seem to know what he's talking about anyway, I want to know why the pics "look bad" and what I need to do if the plant is suffering. I've been reading up on nitrogen toxcidity and I don't think it is that. It's been over 3 weeks now so she probably just needs some food

this is your weed you know better

Day 24


I've attached some close-up pics of the leaves this time, more of the tips have turned yellow but it only seems to be on the lower leaves or the ones that aren't getting much direct light. I have started feeding her nutes today, hoping that will help.
I've also started lst on the other plant now too, that one is shooting up! (wonder if the all-mix is helping it to grow more aggressively instead of the light-mix).

I'm still running them at 24/0 light cycle as well.

** I've just discovered that I hadn't calibrated by digital PH tester right, and I've actually been giving them water with 8.2 PH !!
I've ordered some PH UP/DOWN which should be here Thursday, so annoyed at myself right now.

wow, that sucks...makes ya kinda feel like....
i would not increase the nutes untill i got the PH right first. other wise you are putting in nutes the plant cant use, leading to build up and lock out.

too much ultra violet change bulbs

Im not sure you know this or not but vinegar will lower your ph. Just a few drops
Also baking soda will raise it.
I found out after i spent 30$ on products i rarely use now.
Good luck with your grow i will be keeping an eye on your thread

This can be done, just not as easily as the products you buy to adjust PH.

Day 27



My PH down hasn't been delivered yet, so I've used a touch of vinegar for now (thanks for the tip!). I have just gave them both a nice big water as it's been 3 days since their last water. The PH was at 6.4-6.5 so hopefully this will solve the yellowing tips & leaves. I've laid off the nutes to allow the PH'd water to take affect first. Will carry on using the nutes on Sunday/Monday

I've also trimmed off a few of dying leafs so you guys can see them close-up. Still continuing lst on both plants, so far so good, the second plant is at 17 days and getting bigger by the minute! The first one is getting kinda bushy now with the lower leaves not getting a lot of light, even after trying to bend back other branches to allow more light in - maybe it's time to trim some of these off?

Thanks guys.

Day 30



WOW! They have grown so much in the past few days, must be the water at the correct PH level On the first plant I've given her a trim today, removing a few large fan leaves that were blocking the lower tops that have formed - this plant has 7 tops and counting!!

The second plant is also doing well, she looks a little healthier than the other, which I'm not surprised at since she's 10 days behind the other she has had 10 days less of me giving her water at PH 8 + (see previous post).

Enjoy the pics
