Week 2-- Bushmaster or LST?

[ZackMorris]

Or a little of both? I'm definitely not gonna have enough room if i let them stretch like they want. They were left in veg too long because of the heat wave last month that slowed down the other girls in flower. Ive run this strain twice before and both times they tripled in size even with the 600 12-15" away and a decent fan breeze. My concern with lst-ing in week 2 is obviously the stress its going to put on them. A bunch of hermies would be a disaster. My other option it seems is to apply some bushmaster. Then the concern becomes bud rot and running out of room laterally if they bush out. suggestions?

Topping them would slow them down. LST doesn't mutate your chromosomes or give you third eyes.

Bushmaster shouldn't really be an option imo.

Timing is everything... well space is good too.

If u use bushmaster wait until they're pretty much where u want them. I've used it before and it's just like throwing a switch. I'd only give them two or three inches after u hit them with the bushmaster.

Your saying LST in week two is fine? I'm defeinetly not going to top this late. Today is day six. Should i look to do most of my training right now or wait another couple weeks and just tie down the top 6" of the colas? I already trained the hell out of them in veg ... i have 8-10 tops on each plant.

Pics would help.

I just LST'd a plant two weeks plus.

Day six isn't two weeks... I stop training after real bud development begins.

Thank you man. Knowing this helps out alot. Now i think ill try lite lst and use the bushmaster as a last resort. Can anyone else suggest alternative ways to minimize the stretch? I have the light close as shit right now and practically gail force winds in there.
