I used picture hanging command strips (1.5kg variety) and soft plant ties to LST the plants as much as possible, something vital considering the limited height of the AeroGardens LED light (24"). However, now both plants are well into flowering, they seem to be pulled away from the command hooks, and pulling them off the base they were connected too. If I do this experiment again, I will use a stronger variety. Also, both plants seem to be stopping their vertical growth finally. This is great, but I still have about 60% more height available from the LED light hood. If I decide to embark on this little adventure again, I'll probably stop LSTing the plants earlier, to allow greater vertical growth and reduce stress, especially important if growing autos. Unfortunately I also noticed a tiny amount of nutrient burn as you can see in the picture below. I think in the future I will reduce the nutrient doses very slightly, but not too much as all strains respond differently.

@MagooYFZ, It's doing amazingly well so far. Compared to my last soil grow in a grow tent, under 350W LED with the whole filter/fan setup, it is going very well, and the plants are looking much more healthy!

set lights on for 16hrs less time means the plant can process the light better. With autos in small places, itโ€™s either high intensity for short periods or lower intensity for longer. Iโ€™ve grown buds in tiny cupboards in the past.GL๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

As you are not getting much light in the lower canopy have you thought about removing the lower 1/3 of both plant's? This will free up some energy for the remaing plant and take of foliage that is sucking vital energy away from the plant's ๐Ÿค— Just a thought my friend ๐Ÿ‘Š Kind regards โœŒ๏ธ Team-HSO..

@HappyHippy, You are right that the energy production is generated via the leaves but if those leaves are not getting much light the productivity will be severely affected. If those lowers are removed. The energy the plant was using on those stems which imo will not be productive can get diverted to the remaining plant ๐Ÿ‘ You've got to be careful though. Don't take to much foliage away as you know thats the plants energy source, and if you don't take enough it won't see much difference ๐Ÿ™ A fine line ๐Ÿค— Happy New year from Humboldt County mate ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ™ Kind regards โœŒ๏ธ Team-HSO..

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Thanks for the suggestion! I am tempted to remove the lower 1/3 as you suggested, but (correct me if I'm wrong) does that really cause more energy to go to the top? Aren't leaves where the energy production occurs, so the more the better?
