Nah you don’t want to stress the plant while it is flowering. If the LST was not applied during veg and the branches hadn’t finished snapping back to their original position, then it is unwanted stress on the plant.

Cut them loose during flowering... they are supposed to 'stretch' a little bit so they need to be free to grow. You can go back to LST after the stretch if you want to make sure lower parts of the plants get light.

If you do so i would recommend only light LST, better during veg than while flowering. During flowering the grow hormones are not as present as during veg, so it will take longer and too much stress could end with some male pollsacks.

Having issues keeping the humidity up in this space. Each room is about 300 sq ft and we have large humidifiers in each but can't seem to get above 50% humidity while the lights are running. Any ideas? I need hum higher for the seedlings and am out of ideas! Thanks in advance

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?

Any tips would be appreciated she’s untopped, low budget grow but seems to be holding its own, I spend a lot of time tucking leaves and re arranging branches to get more light to the lower nodes. Didn’t know what to expect as this is my first grow. Very fast strain to flower!

Is it ok to align the plants the way I did it? I just thought they could fill more space and be more comfortable that way. What do you think? Or is it better to put them all in the same direction?

Whats up everybody! I'm interested in your favorite automatic indoor watering system. I want something that can do top watering drain-to-waste in not too long of a time span - no slow continuous drips (no blumat etc). Any ideas welcome, prefer DIY! Even water distribution is key

When to start defoliate?When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)
