best to get rid of all those nasty leaves [BTK them] - how on earth is the plant supposedly supposed to get light when all these pesky leaves block it right away?Looking for opinions, advice,etc....also do you guys fuck leaves for max light penetration or just let them cover?
11 inches sirGreat exposure. I tuck and bend. For perspective, what is the diameter of your pot?
It's just a cheap string. I thought about the stems growing after I was done. What would be best to use?Are those slip knots or a stretchy material? As your plants grow those stems are going to get thicker. If those knots don't expand your going to choke the branches.
The leaves themselves can just get tucked, you don't need to tie them down. Your training the plant to alter the apical dominance which only effects the growth points on the stems. Auxin goes to the tallest growth points and caused it to grow so by tying everything down level auxin is distributed more uniformly.
I like the 12" pipe cleaners, which are re-usable and easily combined if extra length is required.It's just a cheap string. I thought about the stems growing after I was done. What would be best to use?
