Realized the product I had bought for LST initially wasn't very good. It was only rubber with no metal inside, and was very difficult to work with. I also realized the height of my container bags was interfering with the LST as well.
When I was beginning the grow I filled them up very loosely, and after watering the soil compacted a lot more than I expected. So at the end of the week I trimmed the edges down to match the level of the soil, and picked up some proper plastic coated wire for better LST. It looks like a much better job now
Hey ukTuk Just as a heads up you already know about 6.5 Ph basically being the neutral for cannabis growing! I also have hard water that comes out my tap. So I invested in a ph meter and regulate my water everytime I fill the jug up. Maintaining Ph is important because by it being faulty it also occasionly opens the door up to other fungus/pestilence or god knows what. Definetly want to be seeing a happy gardener @ harvest! Keep up the good work & enjoy your grow!
