yeah man if any of my 4 clones work im gonna top the shit out of em im thinking 4 tops over a 2 week period in veg roughly and get a massive fuckin bush, ive noticed flowering time is extended if you do a nice lst job, cause even though my lst'd girl showed her lady parts first, its taking a while to get all 30 of those budsites up to par with the 4 main ones, unlike my big fucker with 4 straight up massive main colas, but i like the look of a shor bush over a tall stretched plant anyhow
Good to know. Ill keep an eye on the different maturity rates. I may be harvesting different branches at different times. I wont harvest them till they have developed thats for sure...lol.

Will do Smokey..my next set of pictures will have just that so you can see. To explain w/o pictures, I simply picked a spot between nodes and hooked the wire around it. Those ties are so easy to use.

I dont know one way or the other, but I will say that flowering is strain specific. I am starting to believe that the 24 hours of darkness before switching to 12/12 lighting really does kick start the flowering process. My girl is only 15 days in from the start of 12/12 and she is flowering. Im stoked about that.

Heres a few more pictures of my girl. Took one for Smokey to show how the wires ties are actually used to LST.

Enjoy!

Nice little bud site forest going in in he center. Ill be watching them to see how they develop. If their trichs dont change as fast as the main colas, I will let them go longer. They are growing fast though so I am hoping they will be nice size nugs from them.

Arch, if you continue to use the "make it rain" technique, you are going to have a huge ass tree with buds the size of your forearm:). I plan to start the technique when my Master Kush girls are in their 4th week of vegetation and Blue Mystic girls after their 1st week of flowering. Check out Riddleme thread Call All Noobs, his plant had some fat colas and he used half the lights (CFLs) we are using but he used the make it rain technique. After awhile, you won't be able to see that chair your lady likes to pose in. I can't wait:)

Thanks KM K...yeah LST is the way to go. I saw it also on several threads and it is the only choice for me due to cabinet height restrictions. So far so good.

Im all for FAT colas and all. I am hoping that I dont get to much vertical growth. I am on the hunt for a container that is shorter with the approximately the same capacity. I will need every inch towards the end. I would say that she has officially started to flower after only 16 days of 12/12. Im not sure of thats fast or not but I am happy about it. Ill look into that thread to see what kind of growth he had. Thanks CHIEF.

looks great arch, wish i could have kept mine shorter and fatter like yours, great job man!!
CD you have that grow on lock man! Theres always another grow! I wish I had the space to work with like you do. But we will make due, ya now. Endeavor to persevere! I am psyched and cannot wait till you get a harvest! I was browsing some more threads earlier and I ran across your beach poem....nice man!

Peace,

Arch

Towards the end of my last grow i had to run fishingline left to right likea clothes line& leash ea. Kola to it.started about week6,they all started to fall over. I was so proud.
 
I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! alright i'm gonna get up now my knees are starting to hurt and its hard to type down here... If you could Mr. Archminister help me understand the LST method, its completely new to me and I get the concept but when and how did you do the multiple ties? Ive been thumbing through and I still don't see how you were able to move all the way around like that.

Hey allforit...thanks bro! Im doing the best that I can. One day at a time..lol.

LOL..you should be KM K. You had a good grow from day one. If I have to, and I am hoping I have to, I will employ the leash method you described. I want these bus to be falling overrrrrrr.

i can only hope fir the same thing, arch, kotton you guys amaze me with your cfl grows keep it up
Haha..thanks GC! This is my first try and by no means have I perfected anything. I am just using the constant flow of information that this site generates to keep me on track. The learning never stops and I am still a nooob. For those just starting, you can do it the same way.

Hey Arch, here's the link, just click on the name of the thread: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/316301-calling-all-noob-growers.html Riddleme discusses and instructs you on how you to use the M.I.R. Technique.
Thanks CHIEF, as usual, you are the shit man! I gave her a good feedign of molasses this morning. She was dry at least halfway down the pot. She definitely takes more water since I moved her.

great grow man im learning alot
Awesome ganjachef...glad that my first experience has helped. What you see is me using the previous efforts of those that have gone before me. Had they not shared it in this forum, then I wouldnt be having the success that I am so far.

:leaf:nice lst job man.. thing is beastly
Sup leaf and yes my little girl is starting to get her groove on. Thanks for taking a peek.

I love the tag man..FFA is awesome...lol. I guess I could start a short thread on my LST experience. Its really isnt a hard process but I understand what you are saying. I can read something, but until I actually do it..sometimes it doesnt fully connect. Send me a pm bro and I will try and help get you started..cool?

Thanks all for encouraging me..lol..especially for my mentors CD, hmk, CHIEF, JP, homer, KM K and P7.
