How too Harvest 1/2 pound with 250w+LST!

When do you start lst. I tried with my first grow but it was my first grow and i panic'd over ever little thing and the lst fell by the wayside.

Well I started to LST my plant when she grew her 3 node. The second the third node is established I went ahead and used paper clips to hold her down while using wire tie to hold the main stem while I performed her first LST. Simple MAN!
 
:leaf:Update!!!update!!!update!!!:leaf:
Well she is growing great. The whole bucket is almost covered in Tops. She has 30 days of veg left starting tomorrow. I'm going for 30 tops without TOPPING. I know I said I would top everything, but the way she is growing I honestly don't think it is necessary. Well here is what you all been waiting for!

Plant looks great. I read the first page and noticed you were following Dierwolfs spiral lst tutorial. You may have figured out by now that it really doesn't work. You end up with a cluttered mass of mains. Even though it doesn't work, the tutorial has been left up on grasscity for 2 reasons, 1. The amount of quality lst talk in the thread and 2, out of respect for Dier since he passed. There are some excellent lst tutorials out there if you want to try some different stuff. In the "enter the scroggers..." thread there is also a lot of great lst discussion and the host of the thread, woodsmantoker, is a great guy who loves to teach so dont be shy in that thread, ask away. If you really want to crank up your yield and build a perfect plant for scrogging, check out the 2 tutorials in my sig. There are many, many right ways to do it, no one way is perfect so just read as much as you can and experiment. One tip. When you stake the arms down, try not to let them touch the soil. Good luck! and Grow 'Em Up!!

Yeah the LST will be left alone . I think everything is placed correctly. Its time for her to grow! I am going to let her grow nice and tall. She has 27 days before she goes into 12/12.......I want to TOP but i have been reading on BUD ROT when COLAS are to close together. Nervous. So I'm going to ride this out and maybe the next plant I will TOP. NOT SURE!:clap:
 
never heard of bud rot with colas so close mate think that isnt true but seein as were doin the same sort of thing ill do sum research for ya weather you doin it or not mate..gunna have nice weight no matter what though...

Well thats what I was reading. Not sure where somewhere on the net!
 
I'd be careful about putting the stems/stalks so close to the soil like that. It'll definitely cause you to have airflow issues and could lead to rotting of the growth due to prolonged contact with the damp soil.

I let my plants grow a little and then pull off the first couple nodes at the bottom. Much better air flow and ease of watering, plus it only changes the height of the plants an inch or two.

Instead of anchoring into the soil, I loop a piece of yarn around the growth shoot and then hold the string against the lip of the pot with a binder clip. Makes for easy adjustments too.

I think you're the first person i've come across thats doing something like what i'm doing.... well you're the closest person i've found. Similar idea, i'm shooting for 10oz off 1 plant. Anyway looking damn good so far man, nice and healthy and bushy! I'd follow Kevs advice, top her, you wont regret it when u have so many more tops and branches that should bud nicely

Well Right now I am very close to 30 tops and I think Im happy with that. I would top but everything becomes too stuffed and I would like to grow big colas. I think. I still have time too top if really necessary!
 
Hey guys. Ok I have a good question. How long can you veg a plant for, in a 4 gallon bucket doing an LST. The past 2 days she looks like she stop growing and I am wondering if she filled the bucket with roots already. That cannot be possible, can it? With the pics that I have posted, does it look like the plant is already to big for the bucket? I was reading a plant can grow 1 foot per 1 gallon of a flower pot. So If I have a 4 gallon pot she should be good because the main stem looks like 12 inches right? I kind of want to flower her already and very confused on what to do. Some advice would be appreciated.
Another question. I water my plant 2 times a week. Can I give nutrients to the plant 2 times a week or should I do nutrients 1 day and WATER with CAL-MAG the next watering. I need some advice here also!
