1st Grow, Let Me Know What You Think

What is everyone's take on LST during flowering? Does it help? Is it a waste of time?

I lst all the way thru flower. When lst is the technique I am using. It is low stress and is easy on the plant, so no worries.

Thank you @jumpincactus funny you should mention bonsai I have practice that art for many years unfortunately I had my collection stolen from my garden while on was on a holiday with my family it broke my heart not to mention the baiting of my two beloved dogs that hurt the worst . We moved from that area and found our little spot safe away from people . Today we are beach combing for flotsam & jetsam then home school for rest of the day .

Easy to do mate I'm about to do another run so I'll take some step by step pics to put up the more you train them the more crop you can get .

Few more pics. The plant that has all white pistils smells of pepper, whereas the plant with orange and red pistils smells of fruity bubblegum, do these smells bring any particular strain to mind? Also ordered a microscope for those trichomes.

Won't really know till they are done. Smells during veg don't always correlate to smells after cured, or smells of the smoke. Fruity stuff usually stays fruity but the smoke could have other tastes/smells too - and you won't know what kind of effect it will have until you try it. I've got a PAK that reeks of sweet black cherry during veg but gets a peppery/coffee smell after curing.
They looking frosty!! Fabulous first grow (so far)!!

So when I'm checking trichomes do I take a sample of sugar leaf, or do I inspect the actual bud?

Are there measures I can take at this point to help prevent botytis? Temps are around 70-74f 48%Rh, so I have that covered at least :)

That's good mate just watch the amount of food you give them and if it dose show up use a teaspoon of bicarbonate in 500 ml water cut out the infected area and spray the bicarbonate water mix on plant this will help it deture the carbohydrates it's making will help back off the grey mold it's air transported so you need to really keep a eye out .

Will do! Thank you!
