Thanks, Wreckedsummer and Herby! I really appreciate your stopping by :)

Here's the photo I took after I did some more training on the girls yesterday. I made small slits in the sides of the SmartPots and used ordinary twist ties to tie down the taller stems. I ran out of twist ties, so need to do some more today :)

And here they are this morning:

I'll keep working on this until I get my canopy even. Thanks so much for the suggestion, Pigeon!

Bless your heart, Jim :) Off to move the light!
 
Also, maybe only run the led for a few hours a day until your plants adjust. Your best bet is keep the light farther away until they adjust. Then bring the light closer after they get used to it. Look in on them a little more often for the next day or two.
 
Thought I'd see how the grow goes first time with all new equipment. I'm the writer, partner is techno gadget guy, have 3 pics so far. On day 7 after turned her, so far so good.:420::thumb:

Thank you for the advice, Going Down. That will help harden them off, for sure.

Thanks, morrum, I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes, too! Have you started your own grow journal yet?
 
I understand!
 
Another tip with fabric pots - I use string and fasten to the side of the pot with a long 2" long thin nail and loop it around the branch.

Thank you! It was my birthday present :) Took me a while to save up for it, but I'm glad I did! The girls seem really happy under it.

Hey, danishoes, great to meet you! We Canadians have to stick together, eh? I'm going to do some reading in your journals - they look fascinating!

That was a neat tip. I use strips of Velcro. They grip the pot really well, but they're thick, so you have to be careful where they ride on the plant. I often think a combination Velcro/string would be best, but then you lose simplicity, don't you?

Fabulous work on the canopy. I gotta back up and give you reps for that. I'm doing my first attempt and it turned out to be more fun than I anticipated. :laughtwo: What's your take on it? How intimidated were you at first? How long did it take you to begin to be ruthless? LOL! I know, a lot of questions. I could just feel the excitement in your posts and I start feeding off that.

I'll stop back tomorrow. I headed off to bed about an hour ago. You were the last piece of shiny I'm going to allow to distract me. :battingeyelashes: I'm glad it was yours though. I'd been dragging my feet and that was an obvious mistake. :Love:

Danishoes!! Good to see you. :hugs:


Oh yeah, love the cat.
