LSTing question

[Bromeo]

yes a watering can will do...I always have to pull the stems down more as they grow to open them up for more light penetration...looks like you could trim some leaves off (for more light penetration) will help the buds get even thicker, and help the smaller ones that were hidden... I cut every leaf that blocks a bud from getting light ...bud up my man!

all those leaves with the big fat stems can go.... for starters

Trim leafs off autoflowers??? Tuck them yea but not trim.

Wow those plants look awesome

Out of interest, is that the spiral LST or did you just tie branches down? I'm 2 weeks in on my first grow and hopefully I'll end up with a shape like yours, very concealed xD

Great job

I don't plan on taking any leaves except the ones that are brown and dried up. I do a lot of tucking and the light should penetrate them just fine. They're both about 12 inches from my LEDs and my think different which is the one with more leaves is under a blackstar 240w UV by herself :thumbs:

Thanks bro I did use the spiral technique and it worked awesome for me LST is an awesome skill to know if you wanna get lots of weed from little ladies :thumbs: that think different isnt even a foot tall and I'd bet she's just over a foot wide. The biodiesel mass is a little taller and wider but for there size the yield is gonna be amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a half pound between the 2

I always cut my leaves, I find I get more buds that way...I give mine a good healthy haircut at least once a week and a small trim in between.. you'd be surprised at how much more they 'budup'
and yes they 'recover' overnight...and you'll double your yield!

Mind sharing some pictures bud head? Interested in seeing how much you trim and how often...

I practice defoliation on my girls. It acts like topping in a way, makes them bush out. Keeps the top close to the same height. It works well with most strains I've grown.

I also trim under completely so I can water. Wouldn't be able to if I didn't.

it's not my thread but I will post these.. just now starting to bud.. you won't find hardly a leaf with a fat stem I cut everything that blocks a bud site that's why there are so many... you can look me up and see some of my threads show some heavy LST here's one link https://www.autoflower.org/f10/thai-fantasy-20157.html I couldn't get the whole bud in the picture it goes down another 6" just showing you with my hand for size ref.
