Thanks man, I'm prolly gonna go longer than most people because I kinda half assed it the first couple weeks of her life so like two weeks longer than normal so I can get a decient yield. Its been 25 or 26 days so prolly day 40 enless she gets bigger quicker than I'm thinkin she will.

Looking awesome Smokey! Good job so far on that LST, the side shoots are getting massive already. Keep it up bro!

Hell yeah thanks Freebird, those side shoots r getting big, I'm trying to get the two that are on the side in which is tied down (pic3) to get more light so they can stretch and fill out like the other two are. They were the bigger ones when I tied her that why I decieded to go with that side so they would have a better chance of getting light and where I can tie them too.
Ps the towel dipped a lil bit n the bowl of water worked humidity is up to 26 30. And the extra fan aimed between the light and plant helped with heats high is 86. +rep once again for the Freebird
 
Another week or two of veg should do you well. I looked through but didn't see you say if you have any space restrictions or what they are, how much room do you have to work with? If I missed it by accident I apologize, but you should try to keep in mind that the plant may double to triple in size. That along with the use of CFLs should help you determine the maximum size you would want the plant to grow to. Do you have any additional lights to add throughout flowering, either on top or for side lighting? Glad to hear the towel trick helped raise your humidity.
 
Like usual here are some pics of her today

I never said my restrictions, I have 32inches of height 27 inches of width and 40 inches of depth. I plan on adding 2 more 26 watters for the side and to cover the whole plant if it trains like I want it to train.. if not they will be for the sides. Really thinking about buying a sun hunt grow tent.... thanks kawiz ifu see anything u think might help feel free
 
Ok well today I am dialing the time to 18/6 so in 2 weeks I can gol to 12/12. The beast from the EAST is turning into a jungle, this morning I could have sworn I heard a jaguar, or some kinda big cat roaring from my grow box.lo

So should I top it at all now that I'm already using LST? And will I be able to top the lower branches?thanks

You shouldn't need to top since you are using LST and giving it another two weeks of veg time. The side branches from that alone should be enough to produce multiple decent sized colas. Once you add those lights you should be fine for the one plant, but depending on how much it stretches you may find it necessary to add one or two more. As far as space goes you should have plenty, and that should help keep any heat issues down once you add the other lights.

There's really no reason to buy a grow tent. The simplicity of them is nice and they definitely work, but they are also extremely overpriced for what they are. Using either OSB and some 2x4's or even PVC and poly sheeting you could build something that will work just as well as a commercially available grow tent for a fraction of the price. If nothing else you could go to a hydro shop and ask to look at one, then take careful notes about how it is constructed and dimensions then build one yourself of similar materials for a greatly reduced cost. For instance, I built just recently a large cabinet for starting vegetables in over the winter before moving them outside in spring and it cost maybe around $70 for everything, including a system for hanging strips of CFLs in sockets, allowing me to change the environment inside to fit what I need at the time.

I think I am going to get another 2 68watters,(as of right now I have 188watts) You have a valid point, I think that is what I am going to do is build a box w/ OSB or Plywood and 2x4's(+rep again for you)
