iPhone Contest Journal Tutorial: The Easy LST Method! Please see below comments. Okay everybody! So it’s the start of week three now, wow is time flying by or is it just me? I can’t believe it’s already the third week into this grow .. these girls are looking gorgeous completely bent over. You gotta see these pictures..the main stem is completely horizontal. I found some garden staples 6” that work amazing for a super easy start. It was important to start LST early to get the development of the new shoots started ASAP. These girls are looking beautiful as ever, lush healthy greens dominate the scene as the plants develop into their full potential. The fan leaves are enlarging, holding precious nutrients and soaking in the sun-like 3500K spectrum of the COBs. These lights are doing an amazing job so far, they provide more than enough output for very little power consumption. I’m only using 200w total through four CXB3590s currently for veg.. running 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. That’s only costing me less than $0.50 cents Canadian per day..... (to compare my old 600w hps with all the cooling fans was in excess of $1.50+ per day running for 18 hours.) The plants are really taking to the nutrient feeding schedule and waterings at 5.8PH. I can’t say enough good things about GH nutrients, they really do a good job and are priced very well. For $50 canadian on amazon I got the Flora Trio Set which has lasted me over 3 grows and still has plenty remaining.. Please see the watering video guide for more info. You can also see the 1080p video review - includes additional stoned commentary on these ladies. As you can see from the pictures and video the growth this week has been stellar! It’s picked up pace rapidly and responded very positively to the early training. The plants have both grown multiple new branches that are getting bigger everyday. These new branches are going to become extra fat colas..! LST should be an easy way to really increase the yield of these girls down the road! Super excited for these girls to kick into overdrive .. expecting huge growth this week leading up to the switch into flower !! Tutorial: The Easy LST Guide Items Required: Plant ties, string Garden Staple 6” So this week we are going to cover the basics of LST. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the term , it stands for Low Stress Training. It is a fantastic way to increase the yield of your plants and maintain an even canopy height. This ensures that you can maximize the potential of your chosen light source. We will also cover leaf tucking , this is an early growth booster that can be used to further enhance the benefits of LST. LST is actually quite a simple method of plant training , you can probably do it for free. Everybody has some extra string laying around somewhere, I’d assume. So the extra few minutes spent each week in your garden can add up to tens of grams more dried herbals for very little investment of time and basically zero cost. Also, who doesn’t like enjoying a bit more time in their garden? I sure do! So LST is essentially as the name implies, we are going to gently train the plant to a better suited way of growing for an indoor environment. The first week of training (I started training these plants mid week 2)will just bend the plant over, this will allow light to hit between nodes better and cause some off shoots to form. When these shoots begin forming between nodes is when you want to start thinking strategically and begin tucking leaves. The leaves blocking or shadowing new growth shoots can often be gently bent or tucked behind the newly forming growths. This will allow full light to the new shoots, which will eventually become colas, to get better light and faster growth. We want to spread out these off shoots in a different direction from each other in an attempt to maximize coverage and maintain even canopy height. Keep doing this step over and over until the plant is mid way through flower stretch. You should end up with a flat canopy and a short dense plant packed with nugs! It’s not something I can easily write in 1,2,3 steps as it’s based on each plants unique growth patterns, the best advice I can give is follow this journal - watch and learn! This is the ideal and recommended plant training technique for autos. The other plant training methods can stunt or severely reduce your yields with autos as the plants don’t have the time to recuperate like photoperiods. That’s it! Follow along with the journal and you’ll see some examples as I train these plants for some massive yields in Coco! Be sure to check in! Happy Growing! -TheWeedMan

As a first time coco coir grower what are some things to look out for or make sure to do? This is my 3rd growing experience, my previous two grows were done in soil. So I’m not a complete noob. Please provide a good break down on the coco coir growing experience for me.

Dude - no reach out on this? I found it on a browse and I’ve been thinking on a Pure GSC strain for a while now! Both ironic and Sweet! Will follow. Now with respect to coco - IMO it’s not much different from soil but I trust you’ve already seen that it’s got much better drainage properties. The key difference is it’s nutrient holding power in relation to soil as well as appropriate supplementation of the nutrients that soil has, that coco lacks (ie. calmag). As long as you supplement for the first month or so with calmag and keep a close eye out for nutrient burn (go easy/not full strength with nutrient formula for first run) it should be very similar to a soil grow. That’s the best I got for ya. Made the switch to coco myself because I like hand watering but would prefer a slightly faster growth rate. Cheers broski and looking forward to this one growing out!!!👊👍

Your plants look great. The only thing I believe you should improve is training: a more agressive use of LST and super cropping to keep the plant squat. Good luck mate.

What are your thoughts on these plants ? Do you have experience putting the plants in a prolonged dark period for 24-72 hours before harvest? If so, what happened? Does this method improve the quality of the final product ?

hey man, there's a lot of FUD about the dark period, basically the main idea is that there's little you can do in the last 48 hours of a 3 month grow that will do something significant on the grow overall. but the dark period for sure has some benefits, for example a dark period before the chop means less photosynthesis chemicals present for the dry + cure. Second the dark period will boost the creation of terpenes. some say it's good for thc, but trychomes take 2 weeks or more to really make THC, so that"s FUD. second thing is that on planet earth it's almost never dark for two days straight, anything really more than 24H and for sure 48H will start messing with the trychomes and they could oxidise which is bad because you loose that much in potency. Hope this clears this up a bit, good luck ! 🚀

October 17th, 2018. Today is the day Prohibition on Cannabis has ended in Canada. As a Canadian citizen, I can purchase cannabis from the store and legally grow plants in my residence for personal consumption. This is a great day for Canadians and the world ..! I hope the other major countries follow our lead in next few years! 😎

Really nice yield and beautiful buds!! As for the bubble hash, if you don't have the washing machine, I'm telling you its grueling work. I only have 1 gallon bags, but even with 5gallon, its gonna suck. Might I suggest you research the dry ice method? It looks like it pulls a lot more out than the bubble hash with ice water. Also, you can use same bags for it. Less work, higher return. Good luck, awesome grow!!

It’s gonna be 10 Cree CXB3590 COBs (Best COB LEDs) @3500K run at 50w each. Should provide over 1200 PPFD in flowering .. I believe cannabis maxes out at around 1000 PPFD so I could even add on CO2 down the road ..!
