Looking very healthy fren! 🚬☕️🧡
Plants look healthy, well p 😍 Tbh I think u training them kinda wrongly bro, but we all been there ✊🏻✊🏻🤲🏻 When you are doing LST, you want to make in most effective for almost no harm and try to stress the ladies just few times. That why is bigger bend better, then few smaller. I always love to a have at least 4-5 nodes before the first bend and then u want to bend them once, but for a lot more degrees. I’ll be doing my first bend today too, so I’ll try to photograph it and try to explain it on pictures later today.
Ya i dont expect much from this first grow. Im looking to make mistakes and learn. I do watch a lot of videos. These will be my experimenting plants so i know what to do and kinds what not to do on my next grow. Ill be happy if i just get it to flower hahaha. Im watching you account closely too.
Job done, for now, I'll just post a few photos of topping here, and the video behind the LST(bending) I'll add explanations tomorrow. I don't have much energy left to translate it into English right now 😆 #weedstr
Actually, this was more than just LST because I ended up having to top it as well. #weedstr Anyway, yesterday after work, I messed up the LST, maybe I should have just slept on it and do it today. I could see the results this morning, so I had to redo it immediately.. Since I'm running FastBuds Autoflowers right now, I don't have much room for more stress down the line, so I had to take action right away. It really shows that it's always better to work with a clear, rested mind. The mistake was that I gave the plant too much space between the bend and the last node/tier. When you bend it, you usually want to bend it between the last internodal spaces. But yesterday, after work, like an idiot, I wired it to the second-to-last tier, and not even efficiently. Now that I've redone it, it looks much better. Notice what the small branches/shoots did after the initial bend yesterday. Whenever you disrupt the main stem, you break the plant's 'routine' of having one main stalk; it basically turns into an anarcho-capitalist that does whatever it wants. And the reason you want to bend it at the last node like this is to keep the plant as flat level as possible. All those little branches on the tiers are now starting to become main branches, and they will subsequently be covered in colas. If you didn't keep these main branches level flat with the wires (and later with the netting when they're bigger), each branch would have slightly different lighting during flowering, and only a few of them would reach the so-called sweet spot. See the picture with 80w led, so called sweet spot is between 30-40cm from the led. Feel free to ask G anything if you need to.
