Just started week 3 and decided to go ahead and start LST. I am extremely happy with the growth so far and hope it continues down this path. As alway I will add new pictures every other day or every few days. I am expecting to see flowering anytime now. Also increased the nutes to full strength. Hope you all are enjoying this grow as much as I am so far.
Update 06/17/20: During LST I bent the plant a little to much and snapped the main branch. I put a stint on it and used tape to secure it. It's been 3 days since it happened and growth is still good. I did have a few leaves die off but nothing major, just early growth. I will add pics later tonight.
Update 06/19/20: I undid the LST because I accidentally snapped the main stem. I gave it a stint and hoped for the best. This is 5 days after breaking it during lst. It came back strong, I was worried I killed it at first, but it is definitely striving still. Not gonna lie was kinda upset with myself when I heard the snap.
Hi there!
LST is very simple technique 'cos you can start it early or late and the results are pretty same. I suggest that the plant should have atleast 6 nodes before starting.
The idea is to bend the main branch down to promote the growth of the lower branches and this is happening because of the plant hormones
When one branch is top it has auxin and when you bend it under the other tops the auxin transfers to other branches to give them sign to be the new tops. This is why LSTY workjs like it works
Tracking pH is a big deal with hydro. Good job being careful. Looking forward to Week 2 now. I'm still waiting on this strain to get here. Watching a good run is the next best thing. Good luck!
