can you lst during veg?

[Tokabowl]

definately post your pics., in cannabis infirmary they're very helpful one of the things they mentioned was that ph is probably off, so I ordered a digital ph tester from e-bay for about $30 including shipping, and was recommended by a grower as well

Thanks for the tip, ill post about it there, although the pics are really bad quality for macro shots (1.3Mpixel)
I got a didital pH meter and i adjust my nute solution to 5.9 before i water them, does this sound ok?

Safe

i'm a first timer grower and don't want to give the wrong advice but I think that sounds a bit low, Fox Farms says to stay around 6.3.

here's a link to the thread I made and you can see what everybody says:

here's the advice I've been going with:

"hey dnb, your ph is too low. It should be in the range of 6.4 - 6.9 for soil. I tend to keep it on the higher side than the lower."

and here's a link to a different message board where I posted the same thing:

alright well apparently I can't link to a different message board, but everybody said the same thing, you can PM me if you want the link

Here is useful chart for you all as well:

Ponics.

Dude, get 2 pieces of string and a rubber band. Put the rubber band around your pot. Take one string and tie it around the base of your root (by the dirt). Then tie the other string a node or two from the top of your plant. Tuck the string into the rubberbands, base stem first, then gently pull her over till she is about level or close to it...GL

dnb:
cheers 4 the link i posted in the infirmary and got the same response, guess the pH was far too low!

420ponics:
Thank 4 that chart very informative, think the signs on the leaves might be a Mg def due to low pH too? specially that i have quite low RH aswell...
Also, nice plants in those pics there, were they from clone, and if they were how long did u veg them for?
I'm not sure how long to veg mine for, was thinking another week, possibly 1 and half, what dyou guys think?

Thanks again

edit - soz ponics didnt see u had already said 1 month veg above... my bad

Hey dnb, I say you should deffinatly LST them before switching to 12/12.

 

[Guest]

anybody got good links to LST? I have an overgrow faq about LST, I haven't studdied it much yet, but if anybody has additional links it would be really helpful. do you only bend leaves, or do you bend just the main branch, or do you bend ever stem? or "clone" branches, etc..?

 

[Tokabowl]

Yea sure:
here's a thread by Caprichoso, very informative

and another thread with link to a cached OG LST FAQ:

lst is perfectly fine to do while flowering, ive done it my past 3 grows and it never did anything but wonders for my crops, especially closet/cab growers, LST is the way to be

or only in flower?

I have had to tie two colas down. If was a bagseed plant, so I misjudged the height. I had two colas growing sideways. I got three onces off her. You can LST anytime. For those who think it can't....It's just a plant...It'll do what YOU want it to do.
