Need opinions for LSTing

Perfect, daas thank you so much for your help. For a beginner such as myself, it means alot to have your guidance. I'll keep you in touch with the progress!
 
Your doing great H4, you can send me a private message anytime you want, I'll be glad to try to help you if I can.
Keep up the good work.
 
Well D.A.A.S.69 , my biggest one all tied down, not going to lie, it hurt to cut so many leaves off her 😰

That's alot better, they will be right back in a week or so, keep taking pictures an in a week you will see they are back. Next time if you have to take some more off, you want have to take as many.
 
H4john, your doing a fine job.
couple of things that keep me sane when I LST my plants is
1) at the end of a grow the bottom 1/3 has been removed or is not much for size. That foilage you remove wouldn't be there at the end of your grow anyhow.
2) it's like a race, someone wants to be the winner. If you keep all your Topps level like a table to each other they all win.
3) bend a little on the same branch 2-3 days in a row to achieve a flatter branch, just ease them down especially if they haven't done it before or there large .
4) if (when)you break something don't panic, just support it a let it rest it will heal.
Good luck
 
H4 have one plant that I called the runt, had 4 giant leaves, all bigger than my hand. The plant was putting all its growth in these leaves and the main stem, which is very thick. I noticed that growth under these leaves were discolored and limp. Pulled 2 of the giants off and the undergrowth took off. 5 days later I pulled the other 2 and the plant really started taking off. It’s still the runt but is stocky and developing many bud sites. Thought I was going to get rid of it but now it might just produce. Will see. Good luck on the grow!
 
Its funny you say that SheikYerbouti cuz i got three plants growing, and 1 out of 3 is a runt as well. It was so small i actually made a topic here on the forum asking if i should keep or scrap her😅 everyone recommended i keep her so i did, having high hopes for her. And hopefully yours does well. Whwn you get some pics you gotta show me!
 
Thanks Mr. Furley! 😁 Will keep everything you said in mind for this grow and future ones.
 
Daas your the man glad i found this forum. I actually got a question for you or Mr.furley if he knows. I noticed about a couple weeks ago i added cal mag to my water and when i took the ph of the water (i ise the liquid drops to test ph of water) it indicated a ph of 5, and i never used the ph down yet. Does the color of the cal mag affect that ordo you think it brings the ph down itself?
 
H4 pics of the “runt” 8 days apart. Really shows the growth after I remove the giant fan leaves. Guess it was one of those learning momemets.

Wooowie, it always hurts me too. I feel like a barbarian. The good news is they come out stronger in the end. Wait till you harvest her. That always gets me the worst of all.
 
Good morning Daas and H4,
Daas is right on! you keep listening to him, most nutrients, add-ins and micros will drop your pH.
 
Ughhh you know whats funny, i was at the shop a week ago looking at ph up thinking "i should probably get this incase the cal mag is lowering my ph" but of course i didnt end up getting it lollll. Looks like im going back.
 
Wow thats your runt? Still nice an bushy my runt is even runtier that yours! Mine are also around the same age as yours. How many watts are your leds? Yours are significantly bigger than mine.
 
H4john I have two lights in my 2x4x5. A Morsen 600W and a Viparspectra 300W. Morsen was a mistake I made thinking I could use just the single LED. realized early on I needed another. Both lights pull approximately 140W actual power. Always thought you needed those “solar panels” especially in Veg but it actually put its energy into those leaves. I do have a large sturdy stem on the plant. Once those leaves came off, the plant blew up!
