So I've been wondering @flowamasta, how would you top and train a big girl for a vertical trellis? You've clearly got the flatlander style nailed down so you're as much an expert as anyone.
You can basically train them any way you want, a vertical trellis setup would no doubt be possible depending on the lighting setup you use, remembering that the tips will always point to the light, so stretch things out as much as you can to the sides to gain surface area, then when shes growin flatout you can branch her out and start the topping. The more topping you do will create more tips to play with and more length to bend and place branches where you want buds to grow.

Got some fresh pics! the 4 small plants are about 2 months old now, and about 1 week into flowering, i cut the clones just as the plants were starting to flower, so by the time they are rooted they should be back into vegging and ready to go crazy! sorry about pic quality, for now i'm just using a crappy phone cam until i get a new camera.

The yellowing of the leaves are due to the extreme heat we've recently had and the roots being a bit burned... But no hard feelings as these are just the start of something very special! Their health is actually quite good, and all the new growth is luscious and green, and they are starting to smell really nice considering their small size!

If I waited until they were that tall to start topping, there would be a ridiculous jungle on the trellis.

It's been a bit of a struggle to get the timing and the training down for vertical growing. There the same shortcuts aren't available- and we haven't found a lot of new ones.

Still, we're filling things in reasonably well and they do fatten up nicely... so we can't be too far wrong!

Nice work brother, I know you'll be happy with either hey, both grow very solid buds and both have a very hard hitting stone. The blueberry x shiva was a favourite amongst my circle of friends, it had a real sweet smell but damn she packed a punch :-)
Those girls are looking great too man, my outdoor girl has about 3-4 more weeks I reckon. I also have a Dr seedsman growing too, she isn't thickening up much but she has a really different smell, more sweet and spicy, can't wait to try her out!

Gday flowa, good to see you have a new house to start growing in again. Your grows are always well worth watching! I have also just moved house and just got my tent back up and running. Have two of subcooIs space dawgs growing from seed. I moved 4 1/2 hours south, not far from the wa's most southerly point. The temps here are about 10-12 degrees cooler then perth, making it near perfect indoor growing conditions!!

Keep up the great work mate

It's a awesome bit of land mate, we were just in the right place at the right time. But we had to beg, borrow and steal to get!! Only draw back is China forcing up the price of cows by double in recent months meaning I can't afford any of my own! Instead I have to watch the niegbours cows getting ever so fat and tasty looking!
Never grown any outdoor plants so can't wait to clear out a few patches along the creek!
