HST or LST for short plants?
Growernotshower1started grow question 5y ago
Should a plant with very small internodal distance get topped or is LST + scrog probably enough to open her up?

Lst and defoliation or scrog are the Gold standard. Less stress and same results in less time.

First time LSTWhat can I do to encourage a side stem to grow to the same size/thickness of the main stem?
I have tied the top down and tied a stem out a bit to get the light but not sure if I'm doing something wrong that's stopping it from looking like it should, thank you for any help! 😊😊Week 3

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?I got 3 questions:
1) Do my plants actually bloom or not?
2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?)
3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?Buds. Other

LST - am I doing it right?I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?Week 4

Zdarec, přemýšlím nad tím že dále bych pokračoval s metodou SCROG. Kdy a jak s metodou nejlépe začít? A má to vůbec smysl v mém stanu 45x45x120 cm ? Děkuji za každou reakcí 😉 . MírBuds. Other
