training

Hi all I clearly wasnt paying enough attention when topping one of my 3 plants and seem to have pinched off some new growth. Will it be ok? Should I leave it be? It’s only the one side, but both leaves if ygm. Im not overly keen on taking down to the next node as i already feel shes lagging...

Hi guys, I have 5 autoflower seedlings at day 13. 3 gorilla cookies and 2 gelato from fastbuds. planted in 3 gallon pots in canna terra soil. Only been watering with water ph 6.2. I was wondering when to first feed nutes and start lst? do they look healthy and good size for the age? Thanks...

So I have thrips, and was wondering would high stress training be a good or bad idea during this time, or should it be left til after recovery. My thinking is that if I were to start mainlining, there would be few leaves for the thrips to get at, may even get rid of them. Then again that means...

Hello RIU, Due to the structure of manifolding/mainlining per Nebula's guide, does it require any different type of light setup to optimize the results? I currently scrog and aim for a flat canopy and lollipop, top, etc. and as a result even light distribution (typically LED) is required for...

Hi guys. A couple of questions about LST: 1. Is it too late to start LST when the plant is already in flowering? Any downsides to this? 2. What if you have a CFL light bulbs set-up and you have light bulbs in each side of the plant and above it? Do you still need to LST or rather will you still...

Today I entered week 4 with my first plant ever and thought it is the right time to start low stress training. However, I do not seem to be able or I do not know how to do it. My plant seems really bushy and when I bend the stem over my leaves touch the soil and everything is really compacted. I...

Got these clones from a friend and they are almost 2 ft tall with no training done to them yet. He didn't want to risk anything. Obviously left alone I will get Christmas trees and lower yield. Mind you I will veg these for an additional two weeks before flipping so need to get them bush style...

Strictly LST. Hasn’t been topped. LED bulbs. MG mixture. 2 gallon smartpot. 34 days from (bag)seed. Going for a ring of 7 tops on the outside and 2 in the center.

I was just doing some research on intensive tomato planting, and found that they are employing some of the techniques that are heavily debated in cannabis cultivation. They major analogy starts at 4:45, but the whole video is fascinating and relevant.

Hi, I drew some scheme and I am courious if it will work. My plan is to cut the 2 lowest branches as soon as possible and top at 4th node. Then try and lead all the colas to their squares and as soon as the four original branches reach the corners I will top them all. This way I should be able...

The last few years have been a total bust. Almost no seeds have survived and the one plant that did only grew about 15cm (4-5 inches?). I wanted to grow some different strains with different amounts of THC and CBD. This year again, most seeds didn't survive despite the fact that I even bought a...

Is this what a typical 1-week grow-out looks like after FIM training? Did I crop too high on the leaf?

Can someone please explain to me how exactly a buds form into a cola, where the buds or flowers start to form, if buds or colas start at the nodes how does lolipopping a plant help? Doesn’t a cola form by combining all the buds on the nodes along the branch or stem? Which fan leaves should you...

Hello, I'm growing 2 strains in soil this year (Gelato and L.A. Confidential. I ordered a 5x5 Secret Jardin trellis net so that I could do the scrog technique on both strains. I'm just wondering if L.A. Confidential does well with training and if I would be better off leaving it alone or if I...

Hey Guys, When do you think I should flip these bad boys into flower? They first sprouted from the soil 42 days ago and I'm considering start of veg to be with first set of true days so 33 days of veg. I've been low stress training them so they're still quite low. I'm also thinking about...

After faffing around with tape I came up with an easier way of pinning down fresh super crops. Using a peice of rubber coated garden wire I bent it into an "S" shape, tighter on the bottom. The top bit is then bent into a kind of hook and put at a right angle to the lower part. This can then be...

Wondering if the canopy of this plant will be overcrowded and if I should take some more of the branches off. Thanks

So after topping, instead of bending the branches straight down above the fan leaf directly below like I usually do, I tied them off to the side, centered between 2 large fan leaves. By not blocking the fan leaves below I will get much more light absorption. I plan to continue doing this all the...

Hey growers, hope you had a good year start! At least about your gardening, like my case :eyesmoke: In this thread i'd like to post a diary of the first girl I'm growing in DWC since a long time ago, DIY set up! If anyone may be interested in more details about whathever I'll post more about...
