Nope, not that I can determine. The bottom ports on both sides are open to draw air in, and the carbon filter up top is pretty close to the centre.Is there any difference in airflow or warmth?
The Cookies seem be growing more vigorously and responding well to LSTDay 39
Fertigated today, and adjusted their training. Added some more gardening wire.
I'm reconsidering switching over to dowels for the lower branches. I think I'll let them grow up now to reach the canopy, and continue to bend the top two branches until everything is even. Then I'll either let it all grow up for a few nodes, or top everything and then let it all grow up.

Thanks for taking a look!
Yeah, GSC is really impressing me. Doubly so for being a freebie seed. Thanks for pointing me towards growing her.
Thanks GDB!CB is starting to look a tad greener. She's still a bit of a drooper but I suspect she'll also be a trooper!
GSC is going to be a Beast...if you let her!
Nice shade of green, they look perfect MelDay 41
Fertigation day again.
I also tied down the top branches on Cherry Bomb. GSC will get the same soon, and I'll have to top a couple of the shoots in the centre. They're about ready to declare apical dominance.

Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks Sniper!
This is exactly the problem I had with hempy type ebb/flow too
I considered giving up training the plants, just going for a traditional Christmas tree shape. One benefit would have been fitting another plant in there as they wouldn't get as wide.
Funny I was noticing that as well and like that approach. It can also be done without adding any holes into the bucket/pot by using a counterweight. This might also be a good way be able to adjust axis’s of the nodes as well if needed. I think this is the route I’m going to adapt as well.
It works ok....If there isn't a lot of room between the soil and the skewer. It's kind of a pain to get the tie attached to the skewer.
Yeah I’m not sure there is a super easy way in any situation at this stage in the game. Might be a little easier as they get bigger
If I were still in soil it would be a whole lot easier to redirect the branches. This is how I used to do it...Yeah I’m not sure there is a super easy way in any situation at this stage in the game. Might be a little easier as they get bigger
Ok well that looks like a great way too!!! And super easy to it then right where you want them!!If I were still in soil it would be a whole lot easier to redirect the branches. This is how I used to do it...
Might be easier to see here...
I was able to bend the lower branch against the hook pulling the upper branch down. That let me redirect the branches into the open areas, filling the canopy.
Unfortunately perlite doesn't hold or brace hooks, even if they have the barbs @Preston9mm showed earlier. It's one reason I'm considering coco.
I use the same. Also large paper clips attached onto the sides. They work great. I've even used large safety pins on fabric pots in the past.I just use binder clips and butcher twine on the edge of the pot...
You likely will have to also pull down on the other side to balance it
Cheers
It's the way I started training them after I learned of the carhooks @Carcass came up with. Before that I...
...did this, just with gardening wire instead of butcher's twine. I considered going back to this when I started growing in hempy, but it's sort of a similar issue of the perlite not really supporting the plant...including from the bottom. I believe @Carcass has a post where the pressure of the branches trying to grow up instead of out has pushed the stem of the plant right down into the medium, and in perlite that would happen a lot more easily.I just use binder clips and butcher twine on the edge of the pot...

Same here, except for the safety pins!
