New Grower Adventures of a noob grower.

I am kinda wondering how much more they will stretch as well, it looks like you are gonna have some fat bushes that is for sure. I would LST them and get those big branches that are shading the litter ones flater and lower than the lateral branches below it. Instead of the plant on the left having 4 main colas it will have more. the lateral branches will start to grow up in that space. Great looking ladies for sure sending positive vibes your way

So you think it's not too late to do some lst? Maybe I will bust out the duct tape and the yarn.

Well I tied down the 2 tallest shoots. Hopefully it's not too late and it makes a difference.

I don't think it's ever too late to LST should the need arise.

Evening out the height of the canopy should make a difference, at least if you can get the light closer or get shaded parts of the plant under a direct beam as a result.

Plants are looking awesome! Keep up the good work you've done so far and I'm sure you'll get a huge harvest of some quality buds!

Yes it is never too late to LST, that is why it is called Low Stress Training. I have done it all the way from the first set of nodes to the last week of flowering without any ill effects. LSTing is the most effective way to get light to the lower or shaded portions of the plant in my opinion. You can literally tie each branch in a way that allows it and other braches to get max light penetration. Do you have some more pics after the LST job, would love to see em

If doing a little LST right now will ensure I reach my 2 oz per plant dream then I'm happy to do it. ;D This shit is stressful though I know that much. Everything seems to be going so well right now but I'm so scared I'm going to mess something up between now and harvest. Keep trying to take it 1 week at a time. Rough though as I'm not working atm so I basically have all day to sit here and look at my girls. I need a life. ;D

Thanks for the info! I should have did some lst earlier but I fim/topped and figured I'd leave it alone after that. I couldn't even begin to lst the dwc plant. I looked at it and got lost and said screw it lol. She lst herself.



I took some pics for you. Quality not the best but what can you do with only a tablet. ;D


Day 45 from sprout. 8th day since the flip to 12/12 and I saw white lady parts on the dwc plant yesterday.

LOL i already had to toss one of the cuttings out! I don't have much faith my cloning adventure is going to go well but whatever. Next time I will have rooting gel and do it for real.

I dunno if you remember my first grow but I swear my plant now is bigger than all 3 of the plants in my first grow combined. I'm so juiced! I know my yield is going to be 200% better. Feels good! Now if only I could settle on a grow method.


I'm all over the place. DWC, Soil, Hempy! I dunno what I wanna do lol. Totally going to do a hempy bucket soon though. I also think I should mix some perlite into my soil if I continue to use soil.

Looking Great! Yeah I don't think you will need to LST the DWC plant as it looks to be a low fat super bush. The other one looks like a great LST job, now all those lower branches are going to spring up and fill in that open space! This is going very well and I think you are going to be blown away with your results
