Pics of the setup?

I also worried about LST during early flowering with my current grow. I decided to continue LST and have not seen anything bad. Plants are just starting week 6 day 1 of flowering and they are looking good.

Very nice tent!

Your light says 600w, but after looking it up I see there is a boost mode for 720w, very cool! In your tent, that gives you about 70w per sqft, which is about double what you need.

Is your light schedule actually 12/13 or is that a typo?

12/12 sorry

Makes sense. You can always run it on the lower settings for now. Better to have more power than you need instead of not having enough.

Also, welcome! Everything is looking great in that video. Awesome job for your first grow. Run into any issues over the past 3-4 weeks? If so, just post some pics and everyone here will be happy to help.

I think that the only mistake I did was using fertalisers to early . I prep a soil mix following the recepe from one forum , and with time I've realised that I shouldnt do it . That soil mix should last for at leasing 4 weeks without extra feeding . Girls spread now side ways a llot. Should I remove all LST wires in early flower stage 1 week or not ?

I kept doing LST through early flowering. Didn't notice anything bad from it. Only positive, as I got all my colas where I wanted them.

Hi

My plants are quite low because of LST and very bushe, will post a picture when lights will get on . While watching tube, I've seen plants with out any LST on them like wires or strings ect. Will they stretch more up if I remove the LST aids ? My tent is 2 m tall so I've got plenty room for them to grow up , however bottom space of my tent it's filled up . What do you think I should do please ?

 

[UK25]

This is how they look today. Sprouted on 10.07.2025 . 1 week after changing lights to 12/12.

 

[UK25]

Will they strech up ? Soon or will stay short till the end ? That one with flowering is titan f1 auto , small with arround 20 flowering on it . We will see he he . What do you think ?

 

[UK25]

Any comment please?

The point of removing the lst is to allow the plant to turn up that stem in preparation for flower building. The determining factor in this decision is almost entirely genetic. Imo unless you have someone who ran this exact pheno and has experienced the stretch on the plant it is hard to direct you in this question.
When you run a stem sideways away from the plant you exchange. Vertical hight for horizontal movements. This also allows additional nodes to sprout off of these tied down stems increasing yield. The trick is to know how that particular strain builds nodes and how long the bud runs down the stems.
Case in point. I L G M apple fritter Auto. On this strain I learned that primary nodes have a very good ability to stack hard. These are the stems that come out of the main stems. Trained straight out I have about 10 runs of 8 inches or more.
The secondary nodes created on the primaries are way different. I have had no secondary nodes produce more than a 3 inch run and all are larfy and loose buds. Some of the stems are 8 inches tall but due to the nature of this strain they do not produce much yield.
Sorry no one wants to give you direction but this is not an easy question to answer as plants handle stuff differently. To early and you have a long stem with loose flowers. To late you effected yield with a 4 inch bud run when it could have been double that.

Ok looked at your video. Wow you are out of floor space and it has not even really begun stretch. I do not really see any tops still horizontal.
I think you are in a good place for now but if this strain stretches double or worse you will be hard pressed to get much lower production due to a tight canopy with low light below. Unleash the Kracken and let them go vertical.
Looking good.

Wow . Thank you for fantastic comment . I will remove the lst then and unleach the kraken . Thank you !!!!
Will keep you posted !!!!

That is excellent information and sure wish I had that for the White Widow and Apple fritter. Also would love to see if my results and findings match the reviews and information. If the stretch is +-90% of 20cm that gives you however many tops x stretch to stack long. It also refers to Christmas tree type growth but you fixed that with the sgrog and topping.
Flip is exciting. Puff balls then wispy white runs down the stems. Watch for Nitrogen needs as that still needs a full load until after stretch. Organics need fed before they need food.

Are this parameters ok for you ?
