LST - Diary Of A Low Grow

Pot Belly · Jan 12, 2008

Hey everyone. Going to do another journal. This one is going to consist of one Afghani female from seed. Been vegging under MH for several months.

Today is day 1 of flower.

Have been removing top growth to stimulate activity from the lower nodes and have ended up with a nice little bush. I have taken all the new growth and pulled them down so they are all or below horizontal. The top of the plant has been removed. I am going to train her to fill up the sides of the box with a 'flat' canopy, and lower the plant as she grows. Light distance will always remain the same distance from the canopy.

Now that she is in flower, she will not have anymore growth removed.

Soil and nutes -Fox Farm line but some amendments of extra stuff to the grow medium.
Light - 150 W HPS on 12/12.

Goog luck PB. I like the plastic coated paper clips. I notice over time the bare metal ones would kill the portion of stem it was touching.
How long was she in veg before you flowered?

I am using insulated 18 AWG solid core copper wire. I find I can cut it to whatever length and bend each end how I want it.

She emerged from a seed 2 months and 10 days ago. She showed preflowers very early in veg.

I do like this strain so far. Going to push her to the limits and go for a high yield on one plant in a small space.

She basked under a 70 watt MH for 2 months 10 days.

I've found that when you tie em down, they'll produce a lot more for ya!

She grew a bit, and is starting to stretch a little. There are little pistils beginning to be visible with an eye loupe. Began first mix of blooming nutes, but still maintinaing N source of nutes so far.

I do love watching your grows PB, always some variety. Nice to see a low grow too - very helpful to get tips

She's lookin like a real beauty!

Pot Belly · Jan 26, 2008

Hey everyone - we're complete with week 2 of flower for our LST - Low Grow.

She's starting to put on some visible pistils, and stretch. Filling in nicely with plenty of bud sites.

I stopped tying her and now all her energy will be focused on growing up, and producing flowers. Since she's Afghani, and is naturally stocky anyway, I'll have enough height, so as she grows, I'll lower her bit by bit.
