How far horizontally can you LST a plant?

Yeah 250grams would be my lowest acceptable amount and even then I would be ashamed of my performance. What is your net made of? I cant decide if I want to run nets or just keep them well trained even though thats harder.

This is pretty much the exact netting.

It comes on a roll so it wants to curl so its zip tied to garden canes to keep it straight.

I like my non netted plants more, just because its too difficult to do with a 4x4 veg area and then move them to 8x4 for flowering,.. My current room has just enough space for both my tents, my drying racks and walkway for access. So moving shit about is tricky if done like that plant, plus my set up is perpetual so it would mess with my veg times.

Here is a pic of one I chopped a few week before xmas, although the pic was probably half way through flowering.
I did this one because I wanted to give the other 4 blue dream a few extra weeks veg, so I took this mother of Incredible bulk to fill in the time and space. Supper cropped the branches out and tied it to a naughts and crosses style cane to splay it out. Area wise it covered 3x3 and yielded bang on a pound dry. Great yield for one plant, not great for that half my tent, but I couldn't bare to see nothing in there.

If your going to save a mother, grow them and take a clone from the best one and revert it back to veg.

Or if you have a keen eye.... Grow a bunch and pick the best branch structure, fastest growing, most bug, mold, heat, nutes resistant plant you see ;)

what size pot is that? Also what is the height from the soil in your planter to the netting?

On the first plant pic? Pot size is 5gal, could of done with a bigger pot though. But it will manage. From net to coco its about 10-12"

Second pic the pot is a 40ltr builders bucket, no idea on the height, guessing about 1.5ft-2ft

Means the fucking world has your pearls. Just you try and take it, and it will slam shut and take your fingers too.


CATS!!!!!!

This morning I was watering the plants. I saw the kitten stand on her hind legs checking out the water in the bucket. so I put a garbage bag over it. Next thing she launches herself straight on to and straight through the bag. Wet angry pussy!

lol They love a bit of mischief, I love mine to bits but he's a real shit. He got into my grow room a while back and by the time I found him he had used my ducting as a scratching post and pulled it out of the chimney. :bigjoint:

Yeah, my wife picked up this kitten at the train station recently, she and the older cat keep going into the veg room to wrestle. It is a bit warm to keep the door closed and I only have a few clones in so not worthwhile running climate control.

Got some seeded swazi yesterday, it is like eating licorice every time I open this jar, wow the scent is strong on an empty stomach. Smokes nice and smooth though.

Update today the plants are clearly kicked into high gear and are growing well, however as you know I have 1 plant that has 2-3 weeks on the other seedlings but I've been stress training it and super cropping to try to slow it down so the others can catch up but I have over 12 bud sites coming up however my fan leaves are starting to block some of them from light, should I cut the 2 biggest fan leaves shading most of the new bud sites?

I might in the future however I'm running seeds right now so until I have a mother to clone from SOG isnt a good option, Im also sketched about SOG in my past grows I've noticed 1 or 2 big plants over 4-6 smaller ones has always yielded more.
