Hehe hey gg, thanks alot! I'm hoping these clones survive so I can just keep this going!! When I get these seeds, I might tear up a little. :mrgreen: xx


On another note, I'm leaving for the hydro store to pick up some more dutchmaster nutes, and to get some garden string so I can tie down the tops. I'll post pictures when I finish tying them down.

Any tips on the best way to tie them down would be very much appreciated! Thanks!!!

Hey T :D
I'll keep my fingers crossed for them :D
Email left a comment on page 12 of my journal, he said to tie then I'm( presuming near the top) with string then tie the other end of string round a brick then you can wind the string round the brick to bend them further each day x

conversion bulbs (it is said) are less potent than using the ballast/bulb without conversion. so a 400w MH conversion would NOT be equivalent to a 400w HPS (and vice-versa) - though i wonder if this still holds true with newer bulb technology as this info is coming from possibly dated sources.

that is very good info! I don't exactly have a brick so I'll find something that is around the same weight and size. I'm going to finish eating my lunch and start tying them down. I'll post pics as soon as I'm done, wish me luck!

Hehe, none the less, it's great information! I'm using a pretty heavy candle to hold it down which is working great!

Alright here's some pictures of my LST.​

I am using Hemp string to tie down the tops. I have them being held down by a pretty heavy candle, and another top is tied to a mount on the wall. I will tighten the string once a week.​

Let me know what yall think, and if there is anything I need to do or not need to do. Thanks everyone for your support and comments!​
