When to lst?

Should I have more of the 2700k lights over the flowering plant? I was told autos really didn't matter but I can move my bulbs around so there's either more 2700k or 5500k over my plant. Which would be better

Keep the spectrum mixed ( 2700k - 5000k or 6400k ) .
You also ADD ( 2700k ) side lights to penetrate lower areas.

I am on day 24...I havent had an issue with LST I have been dicking around with them since about 14 days or so. I officially staked the tops of 2 of my plants out of the way today. I actually used hangars lol. Just pretty much cut it in half. used the loop (part that holds shoulders up on hangar) and staked it into the soil.

If you click his name it shows he hasn't been on RIU since June 16'. Probably never going to get a response. If you are asking for screw in led/cfl multi sockets can be bought at any hardware/home depot/walmart and on and on.

Yeah, but honestly and i know you've heard it you could do way better for lights. An autocob light is $129 atm and 65 watts of high end led and could do a few small autos or a big one nice. If you do go this route get screw in led over cfl. The o es you can screw the plastic cover off the bulb.

you have a link for the autocob at $129?

I only do 2 plants at a time so this would probably be a good setup. I really like that multi socket due had in the pic that you replied to.

i have a couple leds above my 6500k cfls but interested in the cob you mentioned.

I promised myself never ever , ever mention lights on RIU again but I can't help myself. Matty I blame you for bringing up autocobs lol..

But like Matty said, autocobs imo are one of the cheapest best quality built lights around.

Just check my journals in my sig for what a single one on a plant can do.

Now i'm never ever gonna look back on this thread to read all the garbage that will follow.

Ohh and just to cause a lil more ruckus in this old dead thread. Stop Doing all this crazy LST and Top/Fim those buggers first. Way easier than all this early LST nonsense. Once toped opening up the plant or "lst" is made easy because the plant will already have a close to an even canopy.
