Thanks for the quick response! Thats the biggest smart pot i have 2 gallon.seems like this one is leaning more towards the indica side of things...leaves are broad...If you have a larger pot to use...i'd repot it in a larger one...veg for another week...then flip her on over to 12/12 and start budding
If you want a monster I'd get her spread out a bit by LST'ing down the tops to bring them out wider and increase your veg time another week and a halfish...she will bush out on her own a bit, but you can accelerate the process by opening her up and getting more light penetrated into the center of the plant by LST'ing down the sides
LST is easy...get some string and some ducttape...make a loop that you can put around a branch and tie off without it being tight around the branch then pull it down a little bit and tape it to the side of your container...or drill small holes up top of the container and use paperclips or something to attach the string to it...i find ducttape works well
The smart pot is made out of fibers so could I tie branches down and put under my water retaining dish?LST is easy...get some string and some ducttape...make a loop that you can put around a branch and tie off without it being tight around the branch then pull it down a little bit and tape it to the side of your container...or drill small holes up top of the container and use paperclips or something to attach the string to it...i find ducttape works well
You can just poke holes in the smart pot to tie things off...you don't "need" to cut the strings...i reuse mine instead of cutting new pieces...I make it so I can slip the knot back out easily and reposition things easily
people love using garbage bag twist ties as well...you can buy rolls of it. If you happen to "snap" a branch just wrap a little piece of ducttape around the break and it should heal in 3-5 days...that is also called "supercropping"...where you pinch a branch in the middle between nodes to basically make it fall...the plant will fix it...build a knuckle at that point and bush out even more
Thanks so much I will do this and post pic back up here later!You can just poke holes in the smart pot to tie things off...you don't "need" to cut the strings...i reuse mine instead of cutting new pieces...I make it so I can slip the knot back out easily and reposition things easily
Basically you just want to start bending the stems down away from the center(in your case here) to open the plant up to bush out even more...just bend the branches down to the sides and watch them start making S turns...this will reduce the height...give you a larger plant...and make the plant build a more productive stem system to make the plant bigger
There are lots of training techniques man
there are lots of pictures out on the web of other peoples LST jobs...

Can I cut some fan leave to show more inner plant? So when I tie down its more light exposed?there are lots of pictures out on the web of other peoples LST jobs...
This will show you alot of pictures to see how other people do it
You can, but honestly don't go nuts with it if you decide to do it...you should really only trim if needed, but I imagine once you start pulling the branches out to the sides it will be plenty
In a few more weeks once the plant recovers from the topping and LST you can trim off the bottom shoots to direct nutrients towards the tops more(look up lollipopping)
Alright I was just going to snip some tips the ones blocking are as big as my handYou can, but honestly don't go nuts with it if you decide to do it...you should really only trim if needed, but I imagine once you start pulling the branches out to the sides it will be plenty
Yeap...they will always go towards the light...you can do an entire vertical grow if you want by putting the light sideways instead of up top
I'm gonna post pic in a minute lemme know what you thinkYeap...they will always go towards the light...you can do an entire vertical grow if you want by putting the light sideways instead of up top
Yeah get that puppy as close as you can...stick a thermometer at about canopy level under the light and as long as its not going over 85F yer good
