Great thread everyone. I'm doing my first LST grow and first grow period in many years. They are Critical Mass from Mr Nice. I had some ph problems early on which caused some deficiencies so growth was stunted for a while but they are all good now. The two biggest bushes were transplanted and lst'd about a week before the rest so you can see the results of starting early. I'm almost certain the two at the upper left corner are male so I havent been training them lately, the other 5 are ladies. I will probly start 12/12 in a week or so and I'll give the occasional update.

yes u can,i like super cropping to, although i dont do it as much as i thin i should.
looks great, i forgot if you were in flower or not yet, if not the only other thing i would do to your plant is top the main top, the on inthe first `pic. it will allow all the other main shoots you are creating to catch up in hieght to that one.
wow looks great, thanks for sharing, looks like they were start on lst very early and it looks to be workin great. and if u dont mind me askin, what kind of dog you got, i just see the paws, and it just made me curious.
keep up the great lst work my freind.

Yeah. I'm almost two weeks into flower. My digicam is too crappy to get good macro shots of the preflowers, so I can get some verdicts, but it's starting to look pretty female to me. Not that I'd know from any sort of experience. lol. Oh well. Not like i have any other plants to worry about getting pollinated, so I'ma just let it keep growing. I'll know for sure soon enough. Heh.

Yeah, I started lst righ when they recovered from their problems which was around week 3 I believe. They were only about 4 inches at the time due to the stunted growth. They did have about 7 nodes each though, they had really tight spacing underneath the cfl's.
The dog is a ausstralian shepherd/ mini pinchser mix. Weird mix I know but she's an awsome dog, very smart. She's a camera whore, I can never keep her out of pictures

i once started lsting a plant as soon as it had ts first set of leafs, the single bladed ones. and i once had a dog that was half pitbull and half weaner dog, it had the long body and shortness of a weaner dog, but had a huge pit head and huge muscles, and it also had the pits markings, it was a very cool dog. i have a pit who also likes to get in my pics, mabye if u want throw a pic up of her so i can see what the mix looks like
well you got your self a female my freind.

Basically I top normally after 3 - 4 nodes develop, and then top those two tops once they fill and have a couple of nodes each (usually a week or so later). Once four tops develop the plant is already pretty bushy from the repeated topping, and I simply LST those four tops. I give the plant a week or two to fill in, then LST the new growth. I can stop there for a fat plant with 4 strong colas, but I will probably continue to LST until flowering really starts up in August for 20+ tops total.
As you can guess, height is an issue for me.
Plus I love the hands on approach to growing plants, I find it very therapeutic.

I have tried the method for 4, but always end up with 2 so I simply repeat the process. Can't imagine that it causes much stress, the new nodes fill in within a day.

did you read the thread on it, every time i have done it i got 4 tops and sometime 5. and no it doesnt cause it tons of stress but it does cause more stress then topping one time. i just like to stress them as least possible.
