Re: Smokemups 3rd LST Grow - Lucy - Unknown Bag Seed - Blue Planet Nutrients
Aww Shucks... Thanks Dash
lol
Cheers for such a nice post buddy - means alot.. And about your comment saying how I plan and set out my grows, well, initially Im an old school outdoor grower, who just happened to be on the cusp of Hydro and learned a few things but still mainly stayed O'naturale..
That was until I was lucky enough to meet some great people who showed me their indoor ways - the only thing that wasnt natural was the lighting pretty much - they kept it as organic as they could. That coupled with reading thru a few journals here and meeting some of these great guys who ve helped me when I was first trying to get my method correct, they saved my ass!!
And in return, what Ive learned, where I can, I help people who are having probs growing indoor in soil - I know a bit about hydro - BUT IM NOT ABOUT TO GIVE ADVICE WHEN IVE GOT NO FACTUAL RESULTS TO GIVE!
Id hate to ruin someones grow :/
But yeah, if you ve looked at my first grow on here, Cindy, she grew fantstically - just over 6ft tallx4.5ftw. I had a few 2ft cola's from her and the others were 1ft after trimming them up. I was robbed of most of my harvest tho, BUT the clowns left me the 2ft cola's??? Was kinda annoying - but still over 6.5oz dry so least I had somethin!!
So since using this LST method, Ive managed to have very similar results, in shape and amount of branches etc; I had to work out which ways were the most efficient, but as long as make enough space for each vertical branch they should bulk up well. Some of the node spaces are very close, others, not so, But they should grow well enough.
Unfortunately, due to that bloody clean snap of the original main stem it caused a bulk shit load of small shoots, along with some new main branches, but I wasnt gunna go attacking all the shoots and removing them as she was just into flower, I dont mind a few leaves here n there during flower but I dont want to Hermie or slow her growth. But Ive found that with my method, I do have alot of foliage so it may not affect it much but Im a bit cautious
All I know is that currently I have a good amount of light around 2/3rds of the way down the plant, I can see the light on the floor below, its just filtered in some spots so as the light passes thru each level it gradually dissapates in strength, but hopefully still enough to give me another pound!!!
Anyways, Cheers fa stopping in Dash, Ill do a drive by soon k matey. Later, Smokemupm8
