Ok guys here we go. I am growing 3 Nirvana Bubblelicious LST'd, 6 clones off the original 3 bubbas, and I took 8 clones off of the 6 clones so 12 total. I just put the six bubba clones into flowering in 7 gal pots. I put hydroton rocks in the bottom for better drainage and on top so the soil doesn't get disturbed when I watter them.

I just picked up a 1000w sun sys setup. I moved my LST'd Bubbas under the 1000w light. Here are some pic's of them enjoying the sunlight! ;)

Here are some pic's of my Cataract Kush, and my Sour Kush plants from seed. I plan on growing them up for a little while and taking three clones off each one. Maybe LST them and keep one as a mother or something. Not sure yet.

The first picture is a Dinafem Roadrunner. I am growing that for the person that designated me as his provider. Him doing that allows me to grow up to 30 plants. :) The second picture is my little cloning box. I use cloning jelly and rapid rooters. It has been 100% successful so far. And the last picture is a clone that I picked up at a co-op and they called it Purple Shana. I just wanted to grow some purple bud!

As always I will answer any questions, and appreciate any good advice. I plan on keeping this thread open for these grows and all my future grows. I will just take new pic's when I get new plants or take clones.

Yeah I am looking fwd to the Purple shana too. I got it for $20 donation so no biggie. Never heard of it before, they had New York desil but I wanted a purple strain. I am stoked about the 100w too! Man that thing is fucking insane compaired to my 600w light! Can't wait till the LST'd ones are done so I can move more plants under that bitch. I am going to get another one soon but I need to do the electrical work in the garage first.

lets hope for the best! I just hope none of these go to seed on me like my fucking NL did. I will be keeping a close eye on these pigs.
I'm sure the seeds will be fine. That purp will be a big suprise, I have no idea what that will do, I've never even heard of it lol.

Yeah I think I just stressed my NL out too much with that ph issue and that is why I had a hermi on my hands. No worries though these Bubbas have only been rootbound for a week. I didn't have the room in my flower room so they couldn't go into bigger buckets. That is the only stress they have gone through. I doubt that would be enough to hermi them. If none of these hermi on me it will restore some lost trust of mine in Nirvana seeds.

Yeah we will see how this shana turns out, I have never heard of it before and I can't seem to find it on the net. I didn't look too hard but I did do a little five min search.

And you said you would like to veg them? If you have the room go for it! I do till they are about 14 in then flower them, I am waiting to see what these LST plants put out. If they put out twice as much as a regular plant I am going to go with LST for all my grows!

Ya i like the LST method a lot, even though i do have the height to mess with, i just rather not fuck with it.

I veg. my plants to long as it is the more i thought about it, i wouldnt be able to veg under the 1000watt they will grow to wide for my room.

Your plants look awesome and i think i need to steal the hydroton on top and on bottom method i hate messing up the dirt on top, and my soil stays pretty wet could use better drainage in the bottom.

Yeah I picked up that trick from the hydro store. I like the idea to avoid root rot. You can also mix them in with your soil but I just stick with the top and bottom. I put in about 1/2 to 1 in in the bottom. If you are using regular pots with big holes at the bottom you will need to put some screen or wire mesh down there to stop them from comming out. But it does work well for drainage and I would recomend it. I pick up a bag of them for around $30 and you can reuse them.

And Your LST are looking great! I like the LST because you get way more tops! Your lower branches get plenty of light so you don't get a bunch of under developed buds down below. I am playing with the idea of LSTing my Kush. If you look at your LST plants you could just clone the crap out of them and keep them as mothers.

There is one other idea I want to try out it looks interesting and the proof is in the pictures! Here is the thread it is worth checking out and doing a side by side on two plants.

Check it out guys it says double your yeild. Lots of arguing about this but I want to try it on my new clones.

Huh that seems intresting, i might give that a try next time!!!

But seems if u lst u'll get more tops out of pruning the fan leaves.

and lst will be less stressfull, maybe high chance of hermi's with that pruning technique since you cut a bunch of leaves on such a young plant but who knows, lol.

I dont think rootlock counts as a stress. It just freezes the pant. No worries, I dont think that will cause you any problems. A few balls show up here and there, thats just part of growing. Your bud looked good and not seedy so I'm sure its nothing to worry about bro.

Yeah maybe, but I think I may have to try it. Just do a side by side and check it out. I would like to try and see what I end up with dry weight, but like you said LST is less stressfull and I am thinking that LST is going to put out more weight in the end. It's all cool as long as I am growing some good bud! ;)

Yeah I hope it didn't stress them out. They seem to be fine right now no sighns of hermi yet. I will update my thread probably on Sunday or Monday. My lst are done stretching, I am excited to see them start packing on some weight. And all my clones are showing roots through the rapid rooters so they are ready to go in some dirt!

Cutting fan leaves is a touchy subject. I think "fan leave are the solar panels of the plant" is an over simplification. Yes, its true, but bud sites develop by how much light hits THEIR fan leaves. I used Desert Rats post as I guide, but I only cut off the leaves that were covering the sub colas. I also a video put out by greenhouse, and the head grower said that you should remove leaves if they cover bud sights.

With you LST, you may not need to cut any at all.

Agreed my friend. And I know it is a touchy subject but who gives a fuck! :) It is worth a try, what if it does double your yeild? I seriously doubt it will put out a better yeild than LST but it is worth a shot in my opinion. Not going to do it any time soon cus I only have clones right now but maybe later. We will see, and in any case I will take pic's and let you guys know how it turns out.

Here are some pic's of my Bubblelicious plants that are 27 days into flowering. They are comming along nice but some of the lower leaves are yellowing and dieing off.

PIC_0281.JPGPIC_0277.JPGPIC_0278.JPGPIC_0280.JPGPIC_0279.JPG

Here are some pics of my 6 bubba clones in flower they are a week to ten days into flower right now.
PIC_0283.JPGPIC_0284.JPGPIC_0282.JPG
Here are my Kush, Cataract and Sour Kush in the first three pic's. the fourth is a pic of my Road Runner Auto and the last is HotPhyre's fav my Purple Shana! ;) All plants are doing well and my 8 clones up stairs are doing great. I had one top that broke off one of my plants that I tried to clone but it isn't showing roots yet. I am sure it will sooner or later, it was from the top of the plant so I figure it will take longer.
