low stress training...its taking a branch or top, and tying it back to the pot/with string...but just a little bit at a time, each day or two, and it will bend, just don't want to over bend and snap it, that would be bad! would put way to much stress at this point of flowering, for your plant.

yup..you got a good example there, i start lst on my girls at a young age then they can grow pretty much wherever we like 
also encourages lower growth to become tops too. great if you have the height restrictions. or smaller lights like cfl's/flur's or even the 150w hps like me.

made a visit to the plant. She is fine, no new issues. The top inch of the soil was dry so as planed I've watered it with 3 liters of still water as usual and added 3 small cups of Miracle Grow. Regarding the LST I will try to think today a method of doing this. The tip looks stiff...and to bend it at 90...just from a small portion...I don't know, the plant is more then 1 m high ( btw I will measure it today to know exactly how tall is it) Now after seeing how tall tends to grow I am thinking that it might be a sativa after all (?)

no do not try a 90*!.... it has not been trained for that, low stress is slowly over time, your plant is in flower so stems are tough and can snap very easily if not careful, but it will bend over but just not quite that far though...only a little to get the clearance you need for height. I wouldn't worry about it for this one, maybe next one
you can experiment.and yah how tall is she now?
sativa's have long thin leaves were indica's have shorter fat leaves

none? lol you still have height...it is to far into flowering to lst and train her she is almost done stretching. only if you run out of height for lights will you need to do this, and if she stops growing up in height then you are ok.

yea, I am not to keen to do the bending, from what I've seen on the forum the bending is don pre-flowering. I'll just monitor the high and hopefully it will be ok. I have only about 5 cm max left to lift the main Y lights and between the lights and the leaves I have about...10 cm maybe less

measured the pH today. I don't have the most professional tools to do that, but I guess I'm ok. I have this 
and I have a liquid bottle as well. With this plant it was always the same and didn't have any problems...the value is in between ...6.5 and 7. From what I've seen, it's a bit to high (?) should I correct it somehow ? or if it doesn't show any symptoms just to leave it as it is?

and again...I am living at the moment in this beautiful country and city where I am not able to find any shit at the stores and until I'm ordering from the internet...many things can happen. I've checked by curiosity in the main stores here if there are any CaMg sirups for the plants but none...only things I am able to find is Miracle Grow products and that's for nutrients but nothing with CaMg. Remember my post when I've treated my plant for osteoporosis? I've added the Ca and vitamin D pill (for humans) cause I wasn't able to find anything in stores

I am not thinking of growing another one here. Due to my field of work I am moving a lot so if I am starting another one now, I will not be able to move it with me. So I will finish this and when I'll relocate I'll just order some great beautiful seeds from http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/ and start all over again but with more plants.
