This thing trippled in size this past week and is turning into a monster. I plan to switch to 12/12 on June 7th. So plenty of time for more growth. Lots of LST, pruned and topped completed. Will do some Fimming later this week. Before and after of the trim. Leaves are a little ruffled looking but looks great tonight. This was yesterday. Advanced nutrients. Have not checked my PH once.

I probably would have topped it one node lower. Also i think you are wasting a lot of time tying branches down- have you tried bending them, i get really good results from that. They look like there is an imaginary wire holding them down. This was after a pretty intense beating of mine. They recover bigger, better, and stronger than ever.IMG_4809.JPG

Just saying, you can achieve the same thing with some simple stem bending. Might be worth considering/trying out on a branch. Ive tied plants down, bending them is way easier.

Joe, how do you get the stems to stay down like that? Don't they just bounce back up?

They will perk back up after you supercrop but yes thats pretty much it, bend the stems but dont break them. Softer younger stems you can pinch and roll and really bend the shit out of them without breaking them. One plant I have, I have legit bent the stems till they were facing the floor and they ended up almost perfectly straight. That way that one healed blows my mind.
