I'll check that out.
I use the same garden wire. Very sturdy, reusable, and it crimps, so you can continue to tighten trained branches. Duct tape and bamboo poles on top of that, make for some excellent cannabis bondage.
I'll check that out.

It comes in a little roll. Home depot garden section.
You can get sheets of driveway mesh too. That way you dont have to buy a roll.
Just wanted to stop by and say this is the best thread I have seen in a while...I myself am working on a new set up that is a perpetual harvest. Do to space limitations I might veg and top as much as possible ( 4 main shoots like you said) then transplant them into the flower room and incorporate a scrog. The first 3 weeks they stretch like crazy (og kush) I was gunna do all my scrog training during the stretch. What do you think of this?
very nice bro, im going the same route as u did, xcept going for 64 tops per plant at 1\4 oz per top, that comes out to 1lb plant. ive seen it done , but this is my first time going this route. so far so good. i got this method for the book "west coast masters" this book is all about plant training for states that limit plant count in their medical program, so one can get alot more bang 4 their buck. u can view a little bit of the book online.
great thread!
I am about to do some of the things you are talking about.
I was unsure of when to top my plant and when to prune all but 4 branches. My plants are about 8 inches tall at this time and I could take the two lower branches, leave the next 4, and top. Is this the time to to that?
And how long before new growth comes? Before new branches grow from the 4 that I have left on the plant?
Thanks,
If you take the 6" grid laid horizontally in Capulator's sketch on page 4, but wider, and fold the right and leftmost 6" sections upward 90 degrees, then they'll make little "wings" that you could secure horticultural trellis to. That way, you tie the stalk to the 6" grid, and if the cola grows tall enough to flop, it will fall against the horticultural trellis which is 6" above the metal grid. Or you could make the wings 12" tall depending. And make the wings flex out just a little bit to provide tension on the horticultural trellis to keep it taut. That's what I settled on lately for a double trellis solution.
Oh and it's a little late, but ttystikk, I think I know what trellises you are talking about. I first saw them in FreshSteppin's recirculating 16 plant 4k thread. I think he said he got them at Lowe's. I may have seen the same thing at home depot a few months ago, but I'm not 100% certain about that.
I have let specimens get 16" tall and 3 ft wide for a scrog. I really wish I had let them get only 8" tall. I should have topped earlier. I cost myself time.
Thanks for sharing all your experience ttystikk.
Wow! You have totally changed the way i think about growing..I have a small space (8x5x5) so this method will work great for me...How many plants would you recommend doing in that kinda space? Like 6 or 8?
Damn, that sucks about Mr. Lee. I'll be watching those developments.
And I've been subbed to LordJin's thread for awhile. There's something about it that I can't resist looking at ;)
