    Nice - They look about 2ft tall...Great color

    The technique is discussed here now. Essential to training a single plant to fill a 2x2 space, while keeping the bud canopy even with the lighting. Follow my current grow journal I'm publishing on this forum:

    Indoors, wider is better

    I employ LST in the beginning but mostly for the main branches only. I prefer Scrog so netting them is a form of LST.

    Only new growers underutilize the LST and other low stress training techniques this forum has promoted these techniques from the start. All it takes is a simple search in the tutorials here.

    Thanks for the posts. Would like this discussed as I see this as a underutilized technique for bud production.

    Doing LST has a large number of advantages. The first is that by spreading out the plant, you are able to take better advantage of the available light. This will result in much better yields. The second is that for an indoor grower, it keeps the plant short. This prevents the plant from out growing your enclosure. Smaller pots generally result in smaller plants but may allow your to grow more plants at one time. My tent can accommodate 4-five gallon pots or 6-7 three gallon pots. By the way, welcome to the forum. We have a friendly group and enjoy helping others. Please keep posting.

    Big depends on what your space is.

    Last grow I took 4 to harvest, 66 days of veg and 65 days of flower and canopy size was around 7' x 5'. I topped 3 times and LST from about week 4 of veg in 13gal pots with coco.

    they grew to around 3' on the highest colas, canopy at about 2½' Yield was 3lb11oz, one was a runted mutant that under produced, one had a bad cal mag deficiency and all harvested about 2 weeks before ideal.

    Topping to produce a manifold (cropping) with LST and defoliating to maximise bud production and canopy height will produce the best yields indoors for the used space IMHO.

    depends on your set up...but LST is started early to keep the plant short....read Nebulas article on LST and supper cropping....I was able to keep blueberry and a strawberry cough cross under 2 ft tall and that included 10" in of pot height.

    I think the thread is planning a new grow area..Light quality and light height play a big roll in keep them short, along with LST.

    started a topic Pinning limbs down to force lateral growth

    Pinning limbs down to force lateral growth

    New member and have been researching past posts. In the 70s i tried pinning plants horizontal to keep the nosey neighbors at bay. Watching post and have questions about pot sizes and would you rather have 2 plants horizontal or 4 plants growing vertical in a tent for best bud production
