New Grower First indoor grow: LindaSeeds GG#4 and Gelato 33 under Mars SP3000

I have a LST question.

I adjusted all the girls about an hour before lights out at midnight. This is them this morning. They don't look like I touched them! LOL!
I'm just waiting on the little taller bud sites to get tall enough to pull over.

Question at hand.. Should I continue with the LST for about a week longer and let them grow up from there or just pull the tall ones down today and let it grow from there? I know a net would probally be a good option pretty soon, but like the freedom and EASE in taking care of the girls. Once settled on how much training is to be done, do you guys think they will thicken up the stems enough to not need support? The main stalk is getting thick as hell!
I wish I was able to see the extent of the root system. That would be cool to actually see at the moment. Depending on the results of the 7gal pots, I may pull up their root system and combine the two if I go to all 15 gal pots or maybe EarthPots. That would give me a chance to examine the root system. Always curious!
No watering since last. I think I'll feed on Saturday or when they need the water. Training adjustments and additions almost daily since started.

Loouuuuuking gooood! As far as your LST question. I would LST for at least another week. These 15 gal pots are going to make some monster beasts, I don’t think you are gonna over LST them

Good to know my of thinking is line with others with the LST.

I'm hoping for big goils.......NO OLIVE OILS ALLOWED! LOL! .........I'm high!

edit.............I need to get more soft wire! I've almost used two packs! LOL!

 

[pop22]

I would! You want to open as many bud sites as possible

THANKS!
Both GG4s are doing great,. I think the younger in the 15 gal pot could be quite large if she gets what she needs.
Do you think I should continue with the LST as I have been doing for a while longer?

 

[WildBill]

Thanks pop!

 

[WildBill]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Take that and LOVE IT!

Well. the GG4 in the 15gal got tied down HARD! I had to move a lot of the safety pins to the sides! LOL!
Can't really do the others girls since I ran out of soft wire......44 wires.
When I go to get more, I'm gonna get these thin wooden stays I saw beside the wires. I knew I should have bought them.
LOL... they just simply amaze and amuse me with how quickly they right themselves ans grow even more.
And to think...........they have at least 30 more days!

Yeah tied down HARD! Now it puts the lotion in the basket.


but for real you are really going hard on the lst... I like it she should have a nice structure come flower time.

That's what I'm hoping for!

 

[WildBill]

Great! I found bamboo plant stakes about 4 miles away and soft wire.........but already closed.






Played too much Red Dead and they closed! LOL!

Finished LST to the girls in the 7 gal pots just before lights out Checked the moisture levels while I was working the girls. Both needed watering. Water drinking is increasing quite a bit! I collected some hurricane rain water yesterday and that's what Ill use. Shaked a little EWC and Humichar thru the layer of hay on all three. The 15gal is still good on water. I do think I'm gonna go all 15gal pots on the following grows.
I think Saturday I will stop the current LST method. Further bud site growth will be controlled and supported by the thin bamboo stays. I think that will be the next best thing to using a net.
Just checked the girls after almost two hours of wakey light, they were already praying to the lights. The 7gals just slightly less perkey.
I think I'm gonna feed the 7gal pots with a bit of molasses and MegaCrop with the rain water and measure to about total 700 ppm .
