ya he does ook like a kunkyard dog, my dog is two years old about 80 pounds but he is also pure pit yours has a bigger breed in it, u said mastif i think and those dogs get huge, and mine to is only a lover unless he senses somethin wrong or sombody bad, so he is still a good gaurd dog, and i saw told by a couple of expeirenced growers on here i should do 1/4strength growbig, cuz it has 6% N, and then also mix in some tiger bloom, and i will be usin this once my soil drys up and also a lil bit of malassas,




sweet, ya it definatly a good thing u got that bigger area for flower their wouldnt be enuogh room in that other small room, nice growin, keep em green

so put 1/4 strength growbig andd your normal dosage of tiger bloom in the same container?..i didnt know they could be mixed..look at that ya learn somthin new everyday lol

Here's an update on mine, a couple pics, if ya wanna see more check out my lst grow in my sig.
By the way it's 5 weeks as of today
(Jan 26th) since I flipped the lights.

The first pic was taken about a week after I topped this plant,I then trained the four tops.I started flowering a couple days after the first pic and am now near the end of the fourth week of flowering.
The other pics were taken a few days ago.There is a pic of the room,I have 6 plants in there.Don't mind the light bleached leaves

hardcore ur plants look amazing, but its says u flipped the lights on jan 26, wich isnt here yet was that a typo,
and for HUH ur plants are also lookin very good except the bleacj=hing but who cares, what strains u guys got growin and also huh what kind od dogs are in your avatar

LOL it's hardroc, but I used to be pretty hardcore lol.
Thanks, alot, but I ment that I flipped 'em 5 weeks from today and yea I ment 22nd
the one in my avatar is Honey Dew and the other 2 are bag seed

Yeah,I got a little lazy for a few days earlier in flowering and didn't raise the lights or check the plants thoroughly and I payed for it.The yellowing can kind of creep up on you if you don't pay close attention under the hps light because it already has a yellow tint to it.
Anyhow,the strain is Barney's Farm Sweet Tooth and the breed is Pit Bull.The one in the center of my avatar is a Delmation/Pit mix and the one down in the corner is a Pit Bull he had baby blue eyes it was pretty sweet.I had to put him down last month,he had addison's disease and I found that out too late to save him.He was a year and a half old.
And a pic in memory of my baby boy.....
Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread bro

ive never had a prob with light bleaching, but sure i will expeirnce it at least once in my grow liftime. and wow ive never seen a dalmation pit mix he looks pretty cool, and the other one is sick, sorry bout the loss, i hate losin pets R.I.P to your dog, and dont be sorry your not hijacking it and i dont mind other posts beside lst, this thread is open to any talk, chat , pics whatever post what u like, i have bluenose pit mixed with american pit thats him in my avatar he is about 2 years

I posted my current lst earlier, but shes about 3 weeks into flower now, so here's an updated pic.

Saw the link in your sig. mcpurple and figured I'd post up some pictures of my LST'ing. I know you've seen most of the pics, but figured some other LST'ers might like to see them lol

Hey Mcpurple, you may have seen some of these. But a couple of my Casey Jones clone through it's short life as a youngling, It is a beast now, 12 days in flowering and growing strong.

Started like this 27 December


Went to this on the 30th



Then we had this, only 2 weeks from the first pic -

And this is her 26 days from the first pic: growing vertically so light penetration from head to toe with this girl.


Peace, DST

sweet photos dst, i actualyy didnt see these pics, mabye ill go back through your threads, and dam she exloded in growth in 2 weeks, so i must be 11 days in to 12/12 if your 12 days in or did u put that one in at a different time

Ya man, nice lst happening, what are they?

The front two are Seedsman White Widow and the back two are Wonder Woman.

right on, its cool im only 1 day behind, also ur plants are seeming to grow quicker then mine, but who knows its hard to distinguish in photos, and for connorbrown i cant make a vid, but u know this thread is about lsting, so if u have questions go ahead and ask and im sure me or someone else on this thread can answer you, what exactly is it u dont fully understand

heres some pictures I picked up, but basically lst is low stress training where you bend the main stalk around the plant so the side stalk that start growing get more light and they grow up while you hold the main stalk down then they all get equal light and form equal size colas.

you could always look at the grow faq for detailed instructions. all you ever need is already out there just look

Low Stress Training 101
Low Stress Training 101
Well here we go, LST (Low Stress Training) the ultimate way to maximize your yield.

Before we begin lets get some knowledge on what you will be looking at.

Light Brown : Pot Outline
Green thick Lines : Main Stem
Small Thin Lines with Green Balls on top : Fan leafs
Yellow Lines : Side Branches
Red : Tiedown Metal Hooks (or thread whichever item you use, i use Hooks its easier)

The Text in the box : First digit is Step No. and Second Digit is Pot Size, below the numbers is the type of view your looking at (either from the SIDE or from the TOP)


Now that thats out of the way lets get it on..

Please note, you dont have to do it this way, its just the idea of how to do LST, this is the way i did it and you can see the end result of 4 weeks of growth this way in my signature picture where it says FIM/LST. Some may opt to use the eggcrate method where you utilize an eggcrate around the pot and tie it down to that with zipties instead of using string or hooks running from the pot itself... this way you can cover more square footage and maximize your yield even more.

Ok heres the STEPS PICTURE for you to follow along with.



STEP 1 : Grow your plant from Seed or Clone to 3 or 4 leaf sets, some use 5 but i always use 3 because after 3rd leaf set the main stem starts to harden and it will be harder to bend over your plant properly without breaking the main stem.

STEP 2 : Using a metal hook (i cut small sections of cloths hanger and bend a U shape at the end as a hook) bend over your plant with metal hook at the last internode (space between the last set of fanleafs and the next to last) and stick the metal hook into your dirt to hold down the stem.

STEP 3 : This is really not a step, just waiting time... Take note of how the top of the plant that was bent down will bend back upwards towards the light, this could take anywhere from 3 hours to 1 day. Under my 1000 Watt Metal Halide light it does it in under 3 hours.

STEP 4 : Veg and dont tie down until you have a new leaf set. You will notice Side branching has started already because good light is getting to the main stem areas next to each fanleaf stem intersection with the main stem.

STEP 5 : Depending on your starting pot size you may have to transplant. If you started out with a large pot, repeat step 2 over and over again holding the main stem down with hooks until you reach the end of the pot. In this illustration to save time and drawings, i started out with a small pot and it reached the end of the pot after the first tiedown. I repotted it into a 10 inch pot which will be my final pot size for this plant in order for me to continue the LST Bends around the inside edge of the pot.

STEP 6 : Now that your new leaf set has formed you have enough length in growth since the first bend(s) to allow you to start bending the stem horizontally around the inside edge of the pot. Use metal hooks again to keep this bend in place. Side branches should be coming along very nicely.

STEP 7 : Continue repeating steps 4 and 6, allowing the plant to grow and then keep tieing it down along the inside edge of pot using metal hooks (or whatever your using) Side branches should be forming and growing up towards the light.

STEP 8 : Continue to repeat step 7 until you are all the way around the pot... when you reach the point where your plant first met the edge of the plant Top the plant (cut off the very top of the plant ) and hold it down horizontally with a metal hook.... During all this time of repeating step 7 you should also be tieing down horizontally the new branches that have formed from the main stem as much as possible until you use up as much space as possible inside the pot as well , the outter branches growing over the outside edge of the pot you can hold down as well with string to keep those tops even with the inner branches.

STEP 9 : After you have used up all possible space inside the pot (or your eggcrate) its time to just let it flower.. This is a side view of how it will and should look by that time with all the side branches growing upwards towards the light.... these will all become Collas unlike a non LST plant will only have one colla.

During flowering and even before due to lack of light on the main stem fan leafs which is all the way to the bottom almost against the soil those fanleafs will die off anyways, i usually cut these off the main stem right after the branch has grown out in that area, keeps things neat down below where you will need good airflow during flowering.. so go ahead and take off any fanleafs coming off the main stem that is going around the inside edge of the pot.

Set your timer to 12/12 and watch it bloom

There is no Step 10 in the picture but we all know what that is

HARVEST!!!

Pics are from my first grow (bagseed); turned out male but hey, I learned a lot from it.

Guess I should elaborate a little.


- Used a combination of Twine/Thumb tacks
- Pot used was an old 1gal wally world ice cream sherbet (however you spell it)
- Was in the process of making a screen to try SCROG on that same plant but it popped up balls before I even started flowering (vegging for ~7weeks) and I got mad (murderous)

whos a fag, and please dont try to start shit on this thread, he said he has a pussy meaning a girl plant,

sooo... you lst'd you dogs???... or did this just go that far off topic

Click to expand...

no i dont lst my dogs just makin small talk, like i stated in this thread already i dont care if people post other stuff besides lsting as long as it deals with grwing and has no trash talking, cuz i dont really like listing the the bull, so u got any lsted plants or qeustions on it

I thought it was common sense that you could LST dogs while they are still pups,who the hell wants a lanky pit bull?
This work very well with tall strains like great danes.It's very important that you do it while they are still veging or it is very stressful.

haha hope ur jokin, theirs no way to lst a dog, its all how u breed them , and my pit is tall but not lankey he is also very thick, the only weigh to get those short ass fat pits on tiny legs is inbreeding, and breeding a pit with english bulldog for the shortness, but i hate those kind of pits heres a pic of a pit i would never own and one that is a perfect example of a pure un inbred pit, i know alot about pits i love them and do all type of reading on them and their history, first 2 pics are inbred stupid fuckin short fat lazy pits, the last is what a pit should look like straight legs, legs longer than a few inches, and isnt a fuckin couch patato whou will have joint probs before he is 2 and will die before 10
