If by "wire them up" you mean LST, then tbh there's not a lot I can tell you. I didnt follow any specific instructions. But in the past I'd read much info re LST and so when it came to this grow I knew the concept of LST and so just winged it from there. As long as you understand what LST is all about then you dont need any specifics... I just used small strands of string, a lil bit of wire, and those wire bread tie things (just whatever I had lying around), so just use whatever you have handy.
I would go into it but tbh there's thousands of pages of info on LST on the net, all you have to do is search RIU or type "Low Stress Training" into google and ALL your questions will be answered. Im just to lazy to go into it here when there's already plenty of info at your fingertips already.
Good Luck mate!

UPDATE:
Vertical growth seems to have slowed. Its still there but slower... But its fattening up by the day. Starting to smell quite a bit. Can smell it in my room when ya walk in...time to start considering a fan up grade and carbon filter me thinks. Ill see how it goes...
Not the best of pics....

Thanks mate. The end is in sight now and Im gettin excited...
Unfortunately, I have NO IDEA what those solo light fixtures are called...
but they are very handy for side lighting and getting the light where its needed with the best coverage. Should be able to get it at any good hardware store. Just search around in the electrical area and you're bound to find 'em. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I expect the lower fan leaves to yellow off the further I get into flower? I ask because yellowing of the lower leaves has begun again and I cant seem to stop it. Hoping its concentrating all its energy into bud production, hence sacrificing the lower leaves. I dunno....

Good question...I think I would grow in this medium again. And yes, I would change somethings such as go with at least 20% soil for first pot then probs 30%ish for second an final repot. Second repot I would definitely go with a much larger pot as well. Other then that I wouldn't change a thing.
An it smells as sweet as it looks i can assure you...I cant stop smellin it

Hmm yea I reckon I'd like to see that too. All 3 at once would be interesting. But tbh, I think Im done with the experimenting for now... I think Ill stick with soil and gravel.
But, maybe you should give it a go ey? Bung up a grow diary and you should generate a bit of interest I reckon.

Yea I know, thats quite clear....but I cant seem to stop it. Given PLENTY of nutes...no results. Suspected it was nute lockout due to ph problem, so got a tester an it says my tap water is 7.4ish and after nutes are added its 6.1ish. Runoff is 6.4ish. As far as I know that should be ok???
DM
hey doctor I had exactly the same yellowing, at the same stage, with a white strain like yours.
Turned out it wasn't nitrogen def, because I gave her plenty, nor was nutelock/PH because I flushed, nor else since the plant next to her was thriving - Well it was magnesium deficiency in the end, even if it didn't look like that much. But as soon as I gave the plant some epsom salt the problem was solved in 24h.
I may be wrong
but I'd try some light epsom correction if I were you, shouldn't hurt the plant anyway I guessc ya!
EDIT: I forgot to mention: I read that mag def is not uncommon among white-ish strains (White widow for example) - also if that's the case remember that the problem stops, but yellow leaves stay exactly the way they are. ...Oh and let us know if it was that or else
good luck!!!
