Third Grow, 1st LST

Ok fellas, it's gonna be the third grow for me. I had 36 clones in a 4x4 just harvested a week ago. I will get the pics of the buds, they turned out loose and small buds but smell DANK as fuck. While the SoG was flowering, I was experimenting with lst. I have one of those 5 gallon buckets with the net pot in the lid. I'm using bubble action for the root zone and using my gh 3 part rite now. Since th ebucket is round, i simply took a hanger and made it round so as to outline the outside of the bucket. Then I made little loops, and bent the main stalk over. Instead of leading the nose all the way around, I just let the side branching grow, and I also tucked those in the loops on the side. Now I have a crown of branches. I got his baby in a 4x4 area under a 600 hps. I started to flower 3 days ago. Strain is purple voodoo. Any ideas or suggestions that will make this even better? First time LST

My bad here it is guys.

Screwin with LST by force, ran out of up. I don't think there is a way to do this wrong, just bend it til you use as much light as possible.

Geez 600w for that one plant seems like a waste. Can't you put some others around it also to get some of that lost light? Too bad you can't save it in a jar for later eh?

lol i have clones they should be rooted any day now. once they are they will go in also and fill up the space. Oh and I already have two other soil plants in their with her already. I was thinking tho, should i just leave the bottom branches? Light penetration is better than they are in traditional methods.

On my LST plants the bottom branch buds are huge nugs now, almost finished. I will try to post a pic tonight. When you bend those buds right into the light and lower the canopy a lot more buds end up looking like mini colas. The very bottom ones that aren't doing anything, still get chopped off. The plant will show you which buds are getting the attention.

damm sounds good. Yea ur rite the very smallll ones deserve to go, if there are any that small. I wanna see how big it gets during flowering i was imagining like 7 main colas in that little space

btw how far away from the very top do you keep the light?? ihave a 600 and i keep it about 18 inches away at all times
