Specific Flowering questions???

[The Alchemist]

I've had some shit luck with my plant the last while but last night i finally got it sorted i think( Thanks CaptainJamesT.Kirk )
Anyway i want to put it into flowering tomorrow or in the next two or three days at most and i have a few questions.

Firstly seeming as i am LST'ing my plant must i remove all the strings before i put them into flowering or can i leave them on for a week or two.My problem is that my grow space is pretty small and if the plants double in size like they probably will do i won't have enough space. I know i shoudln't have vegged for as long but i had to cos of circumstances. So can i still Lst a little for flowering and if so when do i have to stop. If i cant does any one have any tips on what to do if the plant outgrows the room?

Secondly I will be using using Bio-Bloom can anyone recommend any other ferts, preferably organic? I'm thinking Top-Max, has anyone tried this and to what success?

Thridly cos of rstriction on my grow coset i cant install a good heater for when the lights are off. So how low is too low for the the temp to drop at night, i think 16degrees celcius is the absolute min, is this right?

Also any tips for the flowering stage for my NL's are more then welcome!!!

Hey Alchemist, from my own experiance I left some string on some Thai I had tied down and I left it on to long. It ended up growing around the string and then acted like a tourniquet and it sawed it in half. So just keep a close watch. As far as ferts I use Pureblend pro and liquid karma. Simple to use and has mostly organic properties.

hey man, in regards to leaving the LST on or off, i usually leave it for the first week of flower just to make sure that the lady doesnt go crazy and shoot UP.. this way it sorta keeps her outwards. 2 weeks also seems to be the cut off point for messing with a flowering plant.
However, if your growing NL that shit will stretch. Expect it to grow 2 -3 times its size for sure. If they get too big, tie them down nicely, on a stem thats thick with green tape. if you watch the stress on the tie i doubt that youll have any guillotine effect. Ive never had that happen to me.
For ferts, i always recommend getting some flowering booster like PK13-14, beastie blooms or hammer head. Theyre less than 20 bucks and they will make a difference on your bud size and trich production.

good luck man!

I usually remove the ties right when i go into flowering, however it's fine to leave them on for a week or so. Just make sure the ties don't get to tight and "choke" the plant. Make sure they are loose, check everyday.

As far as organic nutes, there are many options. I go with a main nute line (usually pure blend pro) and then go with some smaller additives like liquid karma, sweet, superthrive, bone meal, blood meal, and cal-mag. First choose a main 2 or 3 part nute line for vegging and flowering and get all the additives you need.

I use bio grow, bio bloom,topax, and root juice and have nice results with them. As far as lst. I have kept plants tied down with one string around the main stem to prevent the plant from trying to grow back up to 6 weeks into flower with no ill effects. But as others have already said watch you dont choke the plant.

use the green garden tape, you can tie as tight as you want and it wont choke or cut.
i have lst'ed all the way to finish with no ill effects. Rules:dont mess with buds just tie the stem below the bud at a nice thick spot and you can train them all the way thru the end. i did this with one plant(bagseed) and it turned out great(i was working with very limited space and had little choice, she was growing out of the box) but it works great!!!
good luck!!

Yeah I've never taken a tie off in flowering....
I did once and the plant stretched up straight again, well not toally straight but pretty close....
Ties are good to leave so you can adjust each bud, if it happens to get taller than the rest...
Also if you keep an eye on the ties around the plant stock, so long as you don't make them too tight in the first place, you won't have to worry about cutting through a branch.
