I'd leave all the existing tie downs where they are, and add tie downs farther out on all the branches to pull the ends down to just a smidge above level- although, you may need to uppot before you have room do that...
I don't mind a bow in the middle as long as the end is lower than that, and preferably lower than the height of the node it's growing from. Having a bow will keep folks from breaking the stem off the trunk.
I think so too, I just meant that if HG leaves those tie downs where they are, and just adds more, she won't get that bow in the branches...I guess the bow doesn't really hurt anything, I just try and keep the branches pretty straight...which, now that I think about it, doesn't really matter in the long run...
You got this.
HashGirl…love the seed pack graphics…reminds me of an early business trip to Amsterdam when I saw weed seed packets like garden seeds we see here. I really thought about how I could get some of those seeds home, but didn’t like the obvious choice. The Bulldog has White Widow on the menu and it was amazing. Cheers*** Weekly Update ***
Good afternoon.
I finally feel like I have my next grow on its way. The big news for the week is that I LSTed the Gelatos and I have seeds for the next 2 strains in water. Here are some pics:

Nice job LST-ing the Gelatos. Looks like the one stem is pulled pretty far over and possibly could use some back support...you might want to insert a stick with one of your twistie thingies taped to it, then pull that stem right at the bend point and support it from the side it's not pulling out to. Does that make sense? It's like applying pressure from the opposite side of the way the stem wants to pull out so that it can't pull out any more. It might help as the plant gets bigger to support it.*** Weekly Update ***

Is your exhaust fan off? There's no way for a bowl of water and a towel to compete with dry air being pulled into the tent.
Great color on those Chems... nice.*** Update Time ***I must admit I thought this grow wasn't going to happen with all the luck I've had with seeds lately. During November, I planted 3 Blue Dream, 2 Pineapple Express, 1 Northern Lights auto, 1 Jack Herer auto and 1 Quarter Pounder auto and none of them amounted to anything.
(can't really say weekly when it's not
So, because I was feeling frustrated, I asked Felonious to try and he was successful so now, I have 1 Blue Dream and 3 Pineapple Express, not what I was going for but a lot better than nothing.
Other highlights today include that I uppotted the Gelatos to 5 gallon pots and I fixed the LSTing on GEL1 as per Jon's advice.
So, without further ado, here are the pics:
In addition to the seed problems, my Gelato #1 doesn't look good. It looks like something is eating it. I've sprayed with Safer's twice in the past week so hopefully, I killed whatever was eating it.

To be continued...
Congrats on the seedlings! And the Clementines look great.
Do they sell Vicks Vaporizers up there? Every drug store in the US has them and they're cheap ($16 US). You would use it outside the tent to raise the RH in the room and let the exhaust fan pull the moisture into the tent.
First person I recommended it to ended up running them to keep his entire house at a healthier RH all winter!
Neem can be purchased concentrated or ready-to-spray, so I'm not sure how to answer that! It looks like something is eating it but that's not what's causing the browning edges. That could be any number of things from pH to nutes to dry air, so see if raising the RH helps.
Oh, sorry! No bowl of water is going to hydrate a whole room. Sometimes watering the plants and turning off the exhaust fan will raise the RH quite a bit.
Dunno what it was, but I'm definitely feeling better. Thanks!
Good morning @HashGirl garden looks good.*** Update Time cont'd...***
GEL2 - Day 62:
The LSTing in the 4th pic is showing her in her 1-gallon pot. Suffice it to say, that the LSTing was done the same way in the 5-gallon pot.
GEL1 - Day 63:
Other than possible bugs, the only other thing I can think of that might be the issue, is it could be the humidity thing since I have so far been unsuccessful in raising the humidity. The humidifier I was going to buy wasn't going to arrive until the end of January. They like higher humidity during veg but they prefer lower humidity in flower so since they're already 2 months old, I haven't done anything further than the wet towel in a pail of water and a blowing fan, which didn't seem to help at all.
The Gelatos are getting 4g MC/gal with added Cal-Mag and are being fed every 4 or 5 days, roughly.
Thanks for following along. Looking forward to your feedback.
