Platinum OG Kush
Day 3 of flowering
12/12 400w hps
3X3x6 grow tent
fox farm ocean forest soil
botanicare nutrients
watering every 3-4 days when dry
nutrients added every other watering

i know space is an issue we're researching how to LST and trying to decide if we should try it or not risk it on our first grow.

They've been in the tent for 18 total days now and were purchased as clones I'm posting beginning pictures to the pictures I took tonight. Any tips or advise on how it's going would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

sorry if the pics are sideways I haven't been able to get them straight

There is no risk in LST. everything looks great. I think there may be too many plants in that tent but you'll figure it out. Plus rep.

They look good. If you leave all of them in the tent cut off all the lowers. I would agree they look crammed.

Thank you I really appreciate it!! I'll start some lst this weekend any advise on how to do it? From what I've researched you bend down the main branches gently all the way around the plant? I've watched a ton of videos on it so I have a general idea I just don't know which branches to tie down. Thanks again!!

Just pull the top over to one side and tie it down. I drill some holes at the top of my pots and use that twist tie rope from a garden store.

In a day or two, you will see all those minor branches growing up into a "main top". It is easy!

Updated pictures Day 21 from clones day 6 of flowering on 12/12. One new question what's the worst thing that could happen if we keep all 6 plants in there with them being crowded?

The worst thing that can happen is yield might suffer. Some LST will help that out a bit. They're looking good though, good luck!

Just a tip...
If you're going to LST those ladies, drill a hole on both sides of the pot and use one of the holes to tie up the branch and keep it in place and use the other hole(s) to tie the ladies down..
You don't want to rip the plants out of the dirt on accident, especially since those stems seem pretty sturdy already...

Nice looking ladies by the way. Nice to see another Bay Area cat doing some justice.
