SHIVA SKUNK (By Cannabis Professionals)

He can still tie the top down if he does it slowly and carefully.....

 

sWEET!

 

Hye you LST trainers. Just following this without much comment but have been judging the results from my tying a week ago. And didn't know nothing about top tying (in an indoor setting) and will try that. Just took the pics of my Sugar Shacks at 5wks. Note the tying>>please comment. I am going to bend the top over as well, unless it's too late. One day I had not swithched the window ac unit to cool but was running on fan only and then the outdoor temps started to hit 80 and the low sun got to shine directly on the closed door of the Shack and it must have been 95-105 in there and the following day on just the only one of the two i saw the yellow tips. But they haven't spread and things seem to be stable.
So then I went out and fashioned a holder fro 17 or 18 gage wire and fastened that to the side of the pot and made a hook on the top and it holds the stem while the top is being pulled over gently by a string. Your comments. Lumpy, they'll go into flower in 9 days. Is my timing for all these maneuvers right? Thanx. b1

 

2 of the pics didn't make it. Try again.b1 File size limit. iwhen you run the upload window in the shrunk fashion you don't see the message that you file size is too big. Gettingn sophisticated here heh? The second pic goes with the last. b1

 

Looking good..... Every few days you will be able to tie the top down lower and lower, just don't snap it in half. Since you are not into flowering yet, you will be fine.

 

Will keep ya posted. Thanx for the guidance. 20 inches tall in5 wks and not fertilized at all, not even once and watered from the bottom only. Am I on par for indoor growing so far? b1

 

Start feeding them nutes. The yellowing tips mean that they are in need of nutes. Just keep tying the plant unil you get an even canopy. Doing good so far.....

 

16 days into 12/12 and resin is starting to form on both girls....:

 

The resin is already fanning out onto the sun/fan leaves. Gonna' be a sticky girl...18 days into 12/12.

 

19 days into 12/12. As you will see, each girl has a totally different structure. One is very Skunk #1 dominant and the other is a perfect NL #5 match.....:

 

GuySmiley..how tall do you reckon those beauties to be at this stage??

 

Hey GS: looking beautiful indeed. Will transfer mine to 12/12 about a week from now. working on temp flower room, one more light coming. Have been vegging under two 250W MH lights and will flower under two 250W HPS lights. Should do allright, right? Pic of Sugar Shack, she is now 20" tall b1

 

hey awesome plants!how much did you yield so far?i'm new to growing and should be starting off as soon as all the supplys needed are collected

where in new england are you at? i'm in ct, me and my pops are going to be growing about 2 or so plants of haze. lol hey how about that sample????

 

Hey A-Loc: I'm in the deep, deep south. Growing these indoors. Coming to the end of the 'vegging' stage and plan to reduce the time under lights from 24 hours to 12 hrs. next week. Yield would mean flowers, right? Flowering will start once the time under lights has been reduces..so no yield yet. You can follow my methodology somewhat by checking my thread "Suger Shack".
What does "lol" mean? b1

 

If I didn't LST them they would be close to 4 feet tall. I measured them yesterday and both are under 2 feet tall. They are getting really good light penetration. They are pretty much done thier stretch.....

 

b1v2w3, "lol" is a term used when something is funny i supose. i don't even realize i type it some times. kinda weird. that comment was actually directed towards guysmiley, i suppose i should of been more specific. your plants are beautiful as well!

 

Beautiful! Keep em growin!

 

Hey Howdy B1! -Lats are just branches growin out of the main stem. -Our goal is to lay the stem down and turn them into vertical colas! -They tend to shoot up nice when you get the top down. -I like to tie them down enough to shoot me out as many tops as I can while still keeping a nicley dominant main cola. -Lotsa times I keep me the main colas ! -Actually, what I do is more like pullin the top down to increas lateral growth while pullin all the lateral growth to one side of the plant, -I grow 4 plants in a square patern so I pull all the lats into the center of the square while pullin the tops to the outside corner. -It kinda ends up lookin like 4 big chunky corner buds stikin up with a sog in the center of the square. -I do all this in flower tho, not veg, -I owe the rampant flower growth to God and the aero system ! -I cant get a pic on this site ! -I'l let ya know if I post anything interesting on OG. -I just cant make my camera do what it needs to do to post here. -Mabey when one of the kids figures it out I'l get some pics up here.

 

Doin just right rightnow. evaporatin some of the extract of last year's outdoor crop. getting your technique down to detail now that you reveal the "pulling them all to the side" objective. now it should become easy to pick the ones that need tying. as I see mine grow up, it is EVIDENT where the colas are going to be. and those would be the ones you would ty, just like YOU do later on when they are flowering. now why don't you do this during vegging?
A-Loc thanks for the meaning, lol is a dutch word, equivalent to fun. now I can really appreciate what being said.
Say LuMpY, i am posting these pics now, took 'm just a bit ago and will show you what my earlier question was about. I marked the branches you call laterals with 2 yellow markers each so you can see clearly where they originate and where they go to. In one pic you can also see the bent over top fairly good, notice how the grooving of the bark has taken on a complete contorted twist. I'll do some close-ups of that and send it up in he next post. I also posted some other thought on Suigar Shack thread but my fog is too thick to know what it was. Peace brudder. b1

 

Hey GuySmiley, you doin it in that same direction LuMpY does? tying them to the side? You mention the light penetration, you like stretch everything away from the middle? And during veg or flower or both?
Just took this pic of the twist. b1
