Thank you, Shed! I can already tell that that GSC is going to take to the training real well!
Thanks, Azi- That's what I was hoping for! This whole grow will be one big tutorial, I hope to keep things clear all the way to the end so someone can try it if they want...
Well, thank you, "special" lady...
Thank you, GDB!
Thank You, Stunger- I received a special request from @Trala to "explain stuff"this grow, so that's what I'm doing..
Thank you, NTH! and a Happy Springtime to you too!... it's finally outdoor weed growing season!
to plant! Hopefully Cleo will be ready. 
First, the GSC was topped 6 days ago, up-potted to a 5 gallon pot on Saturday, and today the branches are finally long enough to tie down.
Here she is before any training - as I said before, she is a very healthy little plant- seems real happy with 3g/gallon of mc..
So, before you start training, locate/manufacture 8 of these, or something similar, to hold the branches down...We start with 8, going to need a lot more of 'em as the training progresses...
Then, we need to open the top up a little ...
Then we start carefully tying branches down, starting with the bottom node, which is actually node 2, since node 1 got shaved off because it wasn't growing worth a crap......
We're not trying to bend the branches flat right now- we're just going to bend them down a little, and then a little more an hour or so from now- go about it gradually, and you won't break anything off...
Then up to node#3- same thing, be careful- remember, we're just bending them down a little at this time,
in an hour or 2, you can bend them down a little more if you want...
And finally, node#4 - be extra careful with these, as they tend to break off a lot easier than the other branches.
So, here's what we end up with- 6 branches (and 2 fan leaves) tied down
Here's what you should see from above the plant--it looks a little confusing, but you know what all the sticks are doing, so it shouldn't be..
That took about ten minutes to do, so it's not real time consuming- however- you'll need to check and adjust the hooks every day or so, and add more as needed, so it is something of a commitment, but it's worth it in the end....
Any questions about the training, don't be afraid to ask!
I think she will be- she's looking real good! And if she needs a few extra days, no biggie, we've got all Summer!
Thank you for the kind words, HashGirl
.
And keep in mind that the last thing you need here is a heckler. (I haven't forgotten!)
It doesn't happen very often...but 2 sprouts from 2 seeds is an occasion in this house!
I'll try and make it the next best thing to being there...
“ - this is a Carhook.
If you need proxies to deal with hecklers so you don't have to, I know a guy...Ha! just keep this in mind...
**I'm never mean- I've just been looking for a place to use this, and this is close enough...
Well, as long as it helps you, I'll consider it a success.
I'll keep your number handy!
She is! Thanks again, VG-I've been wanting to grow a DDa for a loooonng time!
Actually, the DDa sprouted a few hours ahead of the Wookiees, so she's rarin' to go!
Thanks, Stone! And they both made it before 4/20!
this is a Carhook
