Do plants grow all wiggly when they don't have to search for light? or is the pics u show a result of being tied down and untied for photo? I know when plants search/lean to light and then are put in far better light they hold the lean they once had for quite some time from searching.

Hey man, I'm not quite sure what you mean but my plants are "all wiggly" because of the LST (low stress training) that I used on the large plant in order to keep the height of the plant short. I have also used supercropping (squeezing the stem) to bend and keep the plant from getting too tall. When seedlings are young they do move alot when looking for the best light. :mrgreen:

Nice.. I guess it just kinda looked that way(like string was taken off for pic). I'm currently trying my first cfl type grow and likin it a lot since any other type of light you have at considerable distance. Right now I'm keeping record of a few hopefully girls and am following your and other setups that are like what I got going on. Training is a big issue with small space, although any training that results in damage I'm not a fan of . like pinching to make more flexible. I've been thinking of on final trance plant to put them in the pot at an angle with wider pots than deep and keeping them lower n wider . That way lights can be hung in the midst of nodes , however close cfl action is awesome on nodes are so close 4 nodes= 1inch ftw.

BTW looks Very nice man. !! Beautiful .

Did u ever get better lights 4 ur box? or its just a starter box like you said u might do earlier in thread?
I did get another 20w bulb but other than that nothing, it will just be a starter box and maybe I'll convert it to a mini bubbleponics setup. :D

On picture 5 , isnt this a white pistils or im seeing wrong
Yeh that is right, but I already knew she was a female, she started to flower outside and its a good strain and the last seed I had. So I brought her inside to the pc case and reveg, so she has been under 24/0 and the bigger plant is at 12/12 now.
Thanks guys
:blsmoke:

Thanks guys, I wasnt really looking to yield any from this grow it was more a test to learn the basics before I spend alot of cash on a larger grow. The big plant was also male, so I'm just gonna keep this other female vegging in here for now. :D

Looking good, keep her going!
Personally I wouldn't damage her at all.
Lst is fine, but pinching is just cruel.
Treat her like your newborn child. Carseats are cool,
squeezing them into a glovebox and chopping off their fingers to fit isn't.

Hahaha, thanks man, supercropping actually shortens node length because and can increase bud size because the branch swells in response and there is more pathways for nutrients and water to travel through. bongsmilie But yeah I wouldnt chop their fingers to fit I would just squeeze them in tighter :mrgreen:
Here's some new pics of my lonely fem still vegging in 24/0

Yay she looks great.
Just keep staking her down and make her a bush.
Flower her soon if you plan on flowering her in the box.
