LST.. low stress training.. if you tie the branches to the side as they are smaller and bendable they will stay wide and allow sun to reach into the spots shaded by leafs normally.

 

[doctorRobert]

I thought that was so you could keep the plants short not freakin humungus!

these plants were not trained. they just grew this way.......View attachment 95304 View attachment 95305

 

[Beaner]

depends how you do it... you can train the plant any different way you want but tying them to the side will just basicly move them over. if you want to get crazy with lst... try the fdd bonsai tree lst

i confirmed my first male today. i have taken it out of the greenhouse and am waiting for my flower room to light up. when the lights come on i will put the male in there. the lants in there now have 3 to 4 weeks left to finish. i can get the male to start showing good flowers in that amount of time. if any stray pollen gets lose it won't have long enoiught to hurt anything. once the male starts to develop flowers i will put it back outside as the pods open and collect the pollen for the seeding of females.

 

[Hank]

Yes i need to start collecting pollen and have a limited supply of seeds. Oh so much to learn I need to start getting some books and DVD's on growing.

Hank.

 

[Garden Knowm]

i couldn't stop myself.
