The Royal Nepal Kush clones I grew at the same time. The RNKs reached 8'. They resisted LST so I let them grow naturally.

I started this year's girls indoors in late March. But they didn't take off till I purchased my 100w & 200w Cree CXB3590 fixtures. I didn't know what I was doing yet, but now, I can get the same results if I started in late April.
Right after I transferred the first six into the garden. Started with 12 in a 4x2 tent.

6/12 were female and I replaced the three males in the garden with these females once preflowers had shown sex.

My Orange Creamsicle were pollinated by my neighbors Chocolate Diesels that had hermed from light leaks. His garage grow room exhaust was blowing directly at my girls. Wasn't a big deal, only produced 8+ seeds but was worth it because I got this beauty out of the deal. Still have 4 beans. 3/4 of the first beans went male because I didn't know what I was doing. I'll start the a couple at a time in an indoor this winter and breed self's with any that sex female. The buds this year were way tastier and potent with the Choc Diesel cross and I want to reproduce the genetics.I grew it without LST and got waaay better results.

Last year the three Orange Creamsicle produced 4lbs. This single plant produced 2.1lbs.

Starting early indoors gets real results. A few of my girls reached 13'. This one, a Banana Crack will likely give me 7lbs. I'll find out when I trim the flowers tomorrow or the next day. She reached 13' tall and was 10' wide. No LST, but when I removed most of the primary fan leaves for airflow in the tent she developed two branches into two more primary stalks (i dont think that pruning counts as LST). She isn't in her full 13' glory in this pic because a small thunder storm hit my garden with a micro downburst and flattened them all and I had to tie them back up again. If you do start early, make sure you have the appropriate support structures (large trellis) in place to keep them from dropping branches or breaking. I lost quite a few branches to weight even before the storm hit.

It's definitely worth it to start early. Just make sure your soil temps are better than 50F and your d
Damn!!!
