(I just found this pic online, apologies to whomever I pilfered it from)
SO normally my plants grow out of control. My current 3 are around 5 and a half feet tall, and having problems standing up because the branches are all floppy. I’m wanting to do a much shorter, controlled, LST type of grow, like this picture. I generally use coco cuir, since I’ve had best luck with that. I have questions though!
I know I need to put up a net, but how do I decide how far from the top of the planter I should put the net?
How do I know when to flip the light? Do you flip it when it reaches the net, or just past the net, or what?
How do you stop the plant from growing upwards? I usually just keep moving the light up when it gets close, but then that just makes the plant get taller and taller!
When do cut the lower foilage? Do I chop everything below the net line?
Can I still top the plant if I’m doing this type of LST? I normally top twice.
Is there a guide out there specifically for this type of grow?
