How much time would you estimate you spend LSTing? I know there are a million variables, but I am thinking about working my girls around when they show sex. I have more smaller plants and I'm wondering if it will demand too much time. I feel like I am leaving alot on the table with my uneven canopy and at this rate I will be out of smoke before my next crop is cut and cured :Holy Moly: I have the same black pots you were using. Do you think binder clips + pipecleaners and string would work? Also are you happy with your t12s? I am on the hunt for some tubes for the first 2 weeks so I don't have to blast all 600w. I heard even cheap t8s are great since they use less electricity, and if you keep it right on th tops it doesn't matter much. T5 fixtures are slightly more expected than anticipated
LST'ng is very fast. Usually I see results the next day. I would say you'd want at least 1 to 2 weeks of good training to get the canopy where you'd want it though. Obviously a lot of variables though.
As far as what to use you can use pretty much anything as long as it's not toxi and doesn't cut into your branches. I did tacs and string but I've seek tape, pipe cleaners, paper clips, etc
I know what you mean about staying supplied.
I'm perfectly happy with my t12's heat/energy wise. If I could I would prefer a 250watt mh in my 2x4 veg tent though. T8's as pretty close to T12. I can actually use t8's in my fixtures.
