Working very nice to shape my ladies. The space is about 3 inches between rods. Doing a low stress shaping of the stems. Allows the under growth to catch up and I the shape them. The bottom side of the opposite node will turn 180 degrees and come straight up. Getting this done during the veg and first three weeks of flower. I have bent/snapped a couple by accident, once when they were too dry to manipulate, and the growth of the bud on top started to grow faster than the buds below and next to it.
