I am using coat hanger and bending them into "U" shapes and the staking the main stalk to the soil. The coat hangers have a coating on them. I hope they metal from the coat hanger does not cause some kind of contamination of the soil. Hell, there will be like ten stakes in each pot when I'm done. I am going to look for some kind of wood or plastic to use to stake the plant down. Wood or plastic won't leach into the soil. If it was not for this forum I never would've learned about LST. In my novice opinion all MICRO GROWS MUST LST. It allows you to eliminate a foot to 18 inches of plant height, while maximizing vegetative growth. Oh, the other thing I realized is that I should have planted my seeds on the side of the pot rather than the center of the pot. If I had planted the seeds on the side of the pot the whole "wrapping the plant around the pot" process would have been a little easier.
Giantsfan24,
I am using Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Growers Handbook (third edition) to base this decision on. He claims that plants can grow under the red-amber spectrum for their entire life cycle with no ill effect. He claims to have grown and flowered three plants evenly spaced under two HIDs. One being MH and the other HPS. The least productive was the plant that got mostly MH, the plant that got both came in second and the one grown entirely under HPS was the most productive. Because my goal is to go cheap and use as little power as possible, I must use one bulb for the entire process. The results will be the definitive answer. The 10 t5 lamps in the cab are my only source of light. They are not supplemental. Each lamp is rated at 21w. 21x10= 210w. It's a micro grow, what can I say. We'll see what a little over 200w of t5 can do in 2012.
Your plants look healthy and bushy. You should have no problems filling that cab with dankbud!!
Nice bends in there, I am allways a little worried when doing it. Hope there are girls.
