My LST method/grow progress

Hello everyone! These pics show my plants progress from week 1-3 as well as the training method I have begun to use. I'm hoping to be able to bend the plants down to each of the 4 corners of the pots and create an even canopy. If anyone knows why this might not work let me know - any suggestions are always welcome. Again, I'm still new to this art and this is my first grow. Thanks for any input.

Week 1.jpgWeek 3.jpg

18/6. ~85 degree room temp. 80 degree reservoir temp (trying to get it lower using frozen water bottles). ~ 700ppm. ~5.7PH. The plants seem to be sucking up way more water than nutrients. They've never shown signs of nutrient burn so I've been maintaining the ppm. Some of the leaves (not all) have begun to curl. I assumed it was due to the fact that the roots are always in the reservoir?

Also, if anyone is following, unfortunately the odd looking plant I had asked about was killed in action by the dog. =[

nice job, keep at it and they will reward you with massive yields. lst is the best way to maximize yield IMO. get your res temps in the 60s, 80s is way too high and you're asking for pest issues keeping it that warm.

I've never seen anyone LST a plant that young. I would wait until it's got at least two sets of true leaves.
 
they look good i think.....ive done two plants lst and one kinda turrned in to a bean poll.....ones a bushy fucker...id say if you let them grow a lil and even top them once and tie those arms down it bushs out more

I don't have a lot of space to work with so having the middle of the pot more open, I think, will help procure a more even canopy and make my job easier. Every plant is different, though. I'm only trying to keep the grow as clean as possible. Does it really matter when a plant starts LST? I don't see this effecting the plants in a negative way.

Keep going. Train the main cola around the pot while the lower branches catch up, or throw a screen over those bad boys, i mean girls, and your good to go!
