Thanks a lot man I appreciate it! looking back on it now I would have invested the $$ in an HPS light instead of the T-5 but it was a good experiment and for my first grow its a good start for using a T-5. So should I lower the light by like an inch? And as far as the LST method goes I have no clue or idea of how to do it unfortunately
I did a ton of reading in the beginning on a bunch of things but I did not read anything about LST, I actually never heard of it until I joined this forum. If I tried to do it would it make any difference at this stage that I am in right now? I also was thinking about not giving them nutrients now and to just give them straight water from now on, and I was also thinking about flushing them soon, would that be a bad idea?
So If I gave them like a week and a half I should maybe be harvesting one plant at a time over the duration of the next 2 weeks I would like to give them. I still need to flush and still need to stop giving them nutrients. I fed them all today w/their nutrients should that have been the last time I do it?
Thanks Clayton I could only imagine what they would look like with an hps on them! But it's not bad for my first grow and they all were from bag seed and all turned female so it's better than nothing lol I will for sure give them 2 weeks though. Should I start giving them water only and flush soon?
too late for this grow...next time....LST is EZ. it's just a matter of bending the main stem and letting the laterals (the shoots that emerge from the nodes) grow and even bend the laterals keeping in mind the goal is to keep that canopy (the tops of the plants) even for even light distribution. flushing is a hotly contested topic and i personally believe all the plants needs are met with my original soil mix. and mb a little top dressing if necessary. i grew mostly indica dominant hybrids that only needed about 8 weeks in the soil anyway. hydro growers flush. soil growers mostly don't.Thanks a lot man I appreciate it! looking back on it now I would have invested the $$ in an HPS light instead of the T-5 but it was a good experiment and for my first grow its a good start for using a T-5.

harvest the parts that are finished. and let the bottoms ripen up till they are finished. if your canopy was even all around you would be harvesting all the plants at once but yours will ripen over a period of roughly two weeks. got a cheap scope? you should have one if for no other reason than it's cool to see the trichomes change color. i got one off amazon for 60 USD. you can get them cheaper. mine plugs into a USB port in my computer. hit me up if you need more info.
I'm definitely going to an hps next time I hope it speeds the process cause 121 days after germination and I'm just now today chopping them, lots of patience. I did get a loupe a few months back off amazon for cheap it's a 30x one to so its cool checking out your buds. I'm still gonna use soil and go for less plants in bigger pots so hopefully they produce better yields and will be easier to take care of labor wise. Thanks for the advice Clayton I appreciate it!
