Are you growing Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
Hello all! Just wanted to get your thoughts if I should LST
these veg state plants. First time growing and not sure if they’re fem or male.
Should I wait till sex shows then let? Or should I just let it grow and see how it goes since its my first time growing anyways?
From seedling theyre about 4 weeks in going on 5.
Thanks for the tips!
I had 4 plants topped twice to make four tops each and they took up the whole 5x5 tent. I have four plants now that I have not topped and I wouldn’t want another plant in there. I see your pots are quite big, which suggests a bigger plant, however, its hard to tell how much room you have available. I believe the purpose of lst is to make your plants bushier for more tops and to keep the plant low. So, I think it depends on how much room you have. From what I can tell, I think your better off to let them grow straight up and switch over in two weeks.
Theyre 3 gal pots. I folded the top(pointless?) cuz i don’t think they’re getting enough light at the bottom and they’re so close to each other. Its about a 4x3 space and height isn’t an issue since its in my shower(I can raise it to the ceiling if I have to).
I like your suggestion though and I think I’ll be doing the switch in 2 weeks… if they’re female…
Something to consider is that pot size will determine overall plant size. I think a 5 gallon is sufficient to grow a plant to approximately 4’ tall. I’m not sure how easy it is to transplant from a fabric pot. If you cannot pot up, you will probably want to switch over in about two weeks because they will stretch. You already have one that’s getting pretty bushy. All you can do is try something and see how it works out and then you will know better next time.
My first grow, I topped, the second I didn’t. I like it better without topping. I feel like after the 21 day defoliation, there is good light penetration for all the flowering sites. When you mainline, you have to lollipop every branch and focus on the tops mostly, since you cannot get the light penetration. I also think that when space is limited it is easier to handle a tall slimmer plant than a low bushy one.
Here is what my 3 Gorilla Glue look like in a 5x5 NOT topped. Good light penetration everywhere and easy to take out and water, move around, etc. And we’re beginning to see some orange hairs coming
