That milk treatment seems to be working fine for the PM issue, though it's an ongoing process I'm using it more of a preventive measure, trying to keep on top of it.

image.jpgThese are my two bushiest. The one on the left while a bit smaller has fallen into a nice bonzi/ even canopy form and the node length has gotten impressively small. The one on the right on the other hand is a bit lanky but growing very vigorously. The node length has improved but it is still stretching out more than the other. I've done a ton of LST although it feels with these two as I'm approaching diminishing returns with the LST. All I've really been doing now is pulling a few branches around the edge further down.

This brings me to my question. I've encouraged a ton of lateral grown and as these are now transitioning from pre-flower to flower I'm starting to think about the opposite, in providing some kind of support. Would you all recommend netting like I see on many bushy outdoor plants? I figure it can't hurt so intend to get on that soon but thought I would just outright ask to see what others do.

I had to go stand on my head for a min.......those look great, you will soon have lots of heavy buds flopping around. I would definitely put some kind of netting or cages around/over them.......nice job mate.....
 
And a question I guess...So essentially LST is done on a plant like this once the buds get heavy enough to sag?....by then it's all about controlling breakage(which proportional could cause much more harm than any further spreading could offer benefit)?

yes, support for the buds will be paramount soon. There's lots of choices of trellis & netting, fencing, cages....I'd throw a wire cage around them with a wire top and let the buds grow thru. good luck......
 
I'm guessing it's partly that it is a bit smaller or partly biological function (being further along) but I notice the stems are more rigid on this more advanced plant.
