Grow Journal 1st grow Autos by Greenpassion

No your photos won't go into flower unless they have 12 hours uninterrupted darkness. But electricity would be an issue for another flower room.
 
Oh I didn't know that. I thought with photoperiod plants any light would cause them to go into flower. So that I actually could have photos in the same room with autos until the photos needed to go to 12 12 in another room.
 
Well I hope I did this right. I did the LST on 2 of my taller Autos today. I pulled them over on an angle with the twisties and fasten them through a hole in the side of the cloth pot. So if I understand this right, I will get more colas growing up because the main stem is pulled over. I'll try to get a picture ASAP. I didn't find the answer to this question in the tutorial, and that is how old or tall can the seedlings be before doing the LST. Mine are almost 3 weeks old and about 4 in tall, maybe 5.
 
You can do lst and it will help promote side branching. By bending the top down you open the plant up to grow lower branches. Tying it down helps those branches catch up. My lst turns into hst... I'm not very graceful lol.
 
I wasn't certain because it doesn't say in the tutorial whether or not you can LST when there is only 1 main stem. It talks about 'Branches, but there aren't any yet...
 
I seem to be having difficulty with the LST. I got the little twisties, and I made a hook but the entire plant leans instead of just the top bending. As I said yesterday it's only one stem. Each plant has just one stem or Cola and when I try to bend it the entire plant leans. Should I stake the part that I want to be straight up so that I will be able to bend the top over? Or do I need to wait until there's actual branches to pull aside. These are already about 3 weeks old now. Does it seem like they are on track?
 
Pics would help 😉. I just did some lst today almost in the form of supercropping. I pick the growth tips I want to catch up and create a canopy with. Then I slightly pinch and roll the main stem above that node while bending it down. Tieing it down at the spot I pinched will keep the top down while the other growth tips catch up. You don't have to tie it but it will pop back up in a day or even hours if you don't. This guy explains it well and it's a good visual guide.

My phone take such awful photos, so maybe tonight when I get home from work or tomorrow I will pull them out of that room and take photos in natural light, so you can better see them.
 
It's been a couple days since I posted last. But I have taken some pictures. I did the LST on all six of them. 6 out of 10 came up from seed. And I have to admit I've gotten the tags mixed up and I'm not sure which ones are the OG Kush, and which ones are the Northern Lights. I will be more mindful next time around. They all seem to be doing well, and as I mentioned in my last comment up above, I don't think the photos show much. But I've bent them all over using a very long wire that I pushed into the soil and it loops around the main branch, pulling it over. Where the leaves join the main stem, or the cola as it were, I have little tiny growths starting. Hopefully those will turn into colas as well. They didn't all come up on the same exact day but they began coming up 21 days ago. They seem to be growing really quickly. Some of them have broader leaves and I wonder if those are the OG Kush? Oh and by the way,@Californiakid, for some reason I don't have permission to look at a message that you sent me. Very strange it says I am not authorized?? Not sure what that's about!

That happens sometimes... Idk why but you can try going in through the forum instead of message. Nice job on the lst 😉
 
I am thinking that I want to ( when the timing is right) of starting the 5 free OG kush seeds ( from Nervana), but also starting some photoperiod plants along with them. I'd like some suggestions on what strain? I want indica dominant plants, that are easy to grow, stay short, and give big yields. ??
