I think what it is i just really want to get rid of one of the plants, i have 3 and there not much room for all of them. I think i will do some LST, as soon as i find some String. I actually live across from a very wooded area, and ive been thinking about taking a plant back there and planting it, and see how well it does. The only problem with it is the woods is some what busy with people. Every now and again ppl ride dirt bikes back there. But im sure i could find an area where no one would think of looking. So i would like to do some LST for the time being i bellive the plants are about, a month old. How long till they are mature enough to start flowering. Would you guide me through the LST process, i know you tie the plant down some to the side of the pot so it and it should correct itself. Now my only concern is when bending the plant i dont want to break it.

its getting close to that time of year if you are going to put them outside you need to do so.. that window of time is closing where you can make harvest regardless of flowering time..

you would be best off just having one at a time in that box.. you can get more out of 1 than 3 in that situation.. unless you cut clones and flowered them right after they rooted.. then you could have 3 in there easily.. might be something to consider..

how long it takes for them to mature will vary.. and the size will vary too.. with the lights i have i am able to have 10 or so nodes on a plant that is 8 or 9 inches tall... but i still wont know when its mature until the nodes start alternating.. if you think they are about a month old then it should be soon...

you have the right idea about lst... the key is just no to over bend.. be gentle.. you can tighten the bend everyday a little more to reach the desired place... what and how you bend will depend on the best way to do it for you.. but the idea is to give the branches as much space as they can have... tie them down and secure them in place... and the shoots on the branches will start growing up wards... you'll want to keep the main top of the plant down as far as you can to make the rest of the plant that isnt tied down grow up.. does that make sense?? im sorta baked so i want to make sure im explaining myself ok..

also you could do some supercropping.. its much simpler than LST... heres a link that will help explain it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1YEc7ENd5E actually heres another one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FmXHhKFA5U
