Any Tips On LST?

[gardengardian7]

what are you talking about lol
10 gal pot in a 48x24x60

2x 3 gal buckets is all that is needed

I think youre right about that 10 that will be too big. You think the 7g will be sufficient or too big?

I

Yea i know what you mean. But i had planned to veg for a few month. BUDGET REASONS. I have a 400w mh/hps comming in two months. And i know they're going to get bigger once i put them under it.This is why i want to start LST so by the time i meet the dead line for hps id have a nice even canopy thus the larger container so that i dont run into root bound. Ive been budgetting all the way on fixed income. Im just trying to strategize. And stretch my experience at the same time you know.

here 6 plants in 3 gallon pots in a 6ft x 4 ft room, with 2 x 600w hps
for a 2ft x 4 ft room you really need a 600w or reduce the room down to 3ft x 2ft



took a few minutes to dig a picture out

think they where in week 6-7 12/12

using a hood would help a lot if you only have one main bulb in the room
what light are you using ?

Nice! But as you can see, i posted my sophisticated dilemma. Shes already 6 week and 1 day i cant put her into flower for another 60 days till im ab l e to put her under the 400w hps. Im trying to make a positive statement with my first grow. And do a nice pruduction. Its just that im only managing $1000 monthly at this time. So withal though im just trying to be polished as a newbster. But i appreciate all of you guys knowledge and wisdom. I hope i didnt bore anyone. Im aiming to be one of the best. And i know its a long ride.....Thanks alot bros.

60 day

you could do a lot in that time, I would play it very different in that case

have you got a full view of the plant ?

for a single large plant, 7 gallon pot will do the job

plan ahead with lst , think where your going to train your stems, and what your intentions are going to be in 2 month

 

[gardengardian7]

Is there a specific trellis i should use?

I would cut the main stem where the black line is, then all that lower shoots will grow quick

you will end up with a bucket of bud

you can use that big top as a cutting?

 

[gardengardian7]

Also will i be able to cloan her even though i cut her with those two shoots?

when you cut the top part of the plant off, you can turn it into clones, that's a great ideal
just cut it up into 4" lengths, with a node at the top and a 45% angle at the bottom, trim any fan leaves and your good to go
stick it in jiff's, soil ect

 

[gardengardian7]

When i cut her should i leave the fan leaves or remove them?
