@DoomSack Aaah yes they normally are raised. I had just finished putting the tent up and was taking the big plastic containers down for a wash. I took the picture before washing the second one. I like the pvc pipe idea better than kids lunchboxes (which I am currently using) ha ha.
@Bulldognuts Oh 100% agree with you. I hadn’t thought about the salts, I am trying to be concious about the root rot. The salt thing is new to me. I notice salt deposits on the top of the soil the other day so no I am flushing regularily.
I am off the the hardware store today to get some PVC, that is such a great idea.

I just bent one of them over to test the LST method…eeeek, I am a bit scared!
All caught up! Your girls are looking good ![]()
LST and the likes were hard for me at first too. They seem to like the abuse tho! ![]()
I watched some guy called Bill Ward on youtube, he had amazing results. Yes it does feel like abuse! I couldn’t bring myself to do the other one ha ha ha.
I’m on my first photo, so I didn’t get too crazy, but I wanna try topping or fimming in my next photo.
One day I hope to Scrog but that requires quite a bit of work. I am not much of a handyman.
I will keep an eye out for your next photo.
LST is nothin jus do it and dont worry. I had no idea what i was doin and pullin shit in every direction and it didnt seem to harm a thing. Then i had to do some supercropping to flatten out my tops and that stressed me. After splitting a few stems and needin to tape em up they are the strongest biggest tops i have. They will forgive you @TimTamSlam @Southerngal. Im not growing autos tho so this might be different for you @Southerngal. I think @Bulldognuts can steer you in right direction one way or other
Try supercropping @TimTamSlam I think u will like results. I really did. It is stressful till you see dat dey are ok tho.
What is supercropping?
You crush the inside of the stem with ur fingertips and lay the top over at 90 deg. or a lil more @TimTamSlam
Gime a sec i will show result but it will be under grow light
Wow that looks crazy but it works, I am surprised it doesn’t kill the branch.
Nah dude i thot the same thing and also i split both the ones there bad like an inch or so vertically. @TimTamSlam @Southerngal I put some duct or elecrical tape[dey both work] on da split and closed the door. Now i have top buds growin almost sideways. Dont get it twisted it stressed me out at first thot i screwed up and lost a bud. Thanks to @QueenCityB for the tips and help with confidence for me to get it done.
@Chu666cky Ok cool, I will have to give it a shot. It will be nerve racking but it pays off by the look of it.
What i did @TimTamSlam was wait for one stalk to take off a bit then i did it to That one. The results dont take long to see. Within the next day they should be pointing straight to the light again.
Happy anniversary
