Awesome work. It depends. Sometimes I stop before stretch, some times during or after. If a main top stretches more than others, I will keep LSTing or Supercrop until my canopy is so even that I can play poker on top. Good job and good luck! LST forever <3

Thanks!, o okey so I just look at the main stem starts to slow down the stretching and then build a kitchen table? :D:bigjoint: thank you for the advice!I realy appreciate it!

Job well done. I usually LST till about the 3rd week of flower, but that's only because my LST is a bit chaotic lol
If you manage to have an even canopy sooner you can stop earlier

I have one of those 420 fastbuds Blue Dream Autos, haven't popped it yet but this makes me want to...
I can say it's growing fast and i feed her just one's in soil (Bio-grow) and water when dry basically for now 26 days (HP 6.4-6.6) and looks good to me besides the rust spot (before feeding it showed up).
But yeah good luck whit it when the time is in :bigjoint:

Hi everyone!.
A little bit of update on the first time LST:ing and one question :).
It looks like I have a Nitrogen toxicity on my top leafs and I gonna show you in the pictures and about 4 days ago I tested my PH runoff and it was 4.5 (I don’t understand how thats possible, I feed her water and the foods whit PH 6.5, how is it possible?)
When I googled it, it only said Nitrogen toxicity.
I feed her very very lightly whit food Bio-bizz line, about one's per week, rest is just water when she's dry.

But anyway for al those first timers to LST man just do it! what an exploration off colas everywhere! its not so har but a bit nervous for the first and second time thing it down by bending and winckling it around a bit hahaha, but it's goes away .

Blue Dream day 33 (today) whit the LST:20210312_130056.jpg20210312_120439.jpg20210312_120511.jpg20210312_120531.jpg

I would love to see it, but yeah I haved a lite problem upploding it to :(.
I figured out the ONE problem I haved is to low watering and she needed food, she was at 450 ppms (ppm 500) , EC 0.9 and thats to low in this stage she's in right now.
So basically more volume water in and more food :bigjoint:

No lol...i have LED lights they are not AS hot and there is roughly an inch between the plant and the light..but this will likely be the last time i use this tent with a hydroponic grow..the height of the bucket makes it tight when the plant starts to really grow

I guess blurple LED's can get closer than the new style.
