Lol sorry about the overwhelming questions.... Newb syndrome to the fullest. Very anxious about the first grow and an excited to learn LST because it sounds like it not only accommodates for my grow space but can increase the yield and bud production.... Nothing sounds bad there!!! I'll post pictures here shortly. Ladies are looking great today. Still at 250w and running 24/0....Will changing the light cycle to 18/6 around three weeks when I turn the watts all the way up have an effect on pushing them into fishing even tho they are autos?.... Posting pictures in few minutes....
.... Your timing is perfect, as I just finished up a small but gorgeous Bloody Skunk,.... (I think our good brother 
).... As for purple varieties and potency, I've heard the same thing 
I can't say these are the most potent Sweets I've grown, but that can't be taken as any sort of real empirical/anecdotal assessment because I've not grown several of each, nor compared their Parent strains, so as to have a basis for comparison,... I can say any of them will stone you to the bone and have you phoning home , and I don't mean after smoking half joint of them by yourself either! 
... unless you're a heavy tolerance smoker, a couple-few hits will more than do! The Sweet purple (Red Family as they call them) varieties have very unique aromatics, and the colored pheno's are running at about 85% likely you'll get that pheno'-- very stable for seeds! And the non-purp's turn out just as excellent as well,...
.... here's some proof-in-porn 
... (and mind that A4 guy! He's one of our finest growers here, with a pyramid-like knowledge base! --you scored reeling him in!
