Didn't get pictures for the first 5 days. Germinated in a cup of water than moved to rockwool. Plant emerged 2 days after being put in rockwool. First DWC grow. Plan on using lst for a bigger yield. Just found this site today and will definitely be using it to keep better track of what I got going on.
June 7th
Today starts day 8, first day of week 2. I have to say the plant is taking off better than I could of imagined. It's standing at just about 1.5 inches. I am super excited to see what the next few weeks hold for this plant. I have been very strict on the ph of my water and the temp, also keeping a very strict schedule for my lights and the plant seems to be loving what I am doing. I will add more photos and comments through week 2.
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
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.
Just started week 4. Plant has came back from me accidentally snapping the main stem. It has started flowering and has easily doubled in size.
Update June 25th, Week 4, day 26: She has fully recovered from the snap and has grown a knuckle there. She is growing big fast. Definitely has a strong odor and is flowering, I just lowered the ph to 5.5 for flowering. Will update again in a few days.
