Nice! Those look like some stout bushes! I envision some stacked calyxes in your near future. May the trichomes be with you, always.Lst to a four way mainline. Tonight will be the last day of vegging . Come on Halloween .

Alright, I have never heard of that one. Got any pictures? I am curious how that works. Hopefully this isn't a joke that flew over my head.

I'll snap a couple this afternoon. I've seen guys use nuts and bolts so I thought hmm. Super easy to add more weight if I need it.

That's awesome! I totally see now. They're just weights. LOL! Works like a charm. Those inner nodes are now the tops! This is exactly why I started this post. I would have never thought of that. I love it.

I had a weird little plant that I call "Kinky" she had krinkly leaves and was quite spindly so I tried "Espalier" style training.
Each node has really taken off since - some are about a foot since. No idea what the plant will produce quality wise but one never knows!!!
So we live in hope!!

A better pic today.
I like your style, never seen it. If you keep her like that everything inside will redirect upwards and starts to blow up filling every corner of the plant.
How many days do you leave the locks on the stems giving that bending?
When I look at it, makes lots of sense for me, since the growth hormones travel up and down the plant mostly pulled by gravity but you added extra weight to the gravity pull, probably makes them pump more auxins in order to make the new growth shoot up.
Cool stuff

I'm not sure how long to leave the weights on. This is my first try at this method. My 6 or 8 grow. I keep cutting the keys off and moving them further down the stalks when the ends grow taller than the tie out point. I keep adding more weight to the ones that have no where else to tie out. I have 6 plants like this

Big pots too! Your setting up to have some beasts.
Do you have a journal I can follow your training method?
Any problem with pests growing outdoors? I first had a leaf miner problem got rid of them and then thrips. Thankfully I seem to have them under control but now I’m much wiser and will be doing preventative maintenance. Soap spraying every 3 days, Safers end all every 10 days and @Sierra Natural Science 209 Systemic Pest Control every 7-14 days.I'm not sure how long to leave the weights on.

I do not have a journal. I only found this website a couple months ago and I'm in love.Big pots too! Your setting up to have some beasts.

So many ideas and only so many plants. I'm allowed 6 and my wife 6 in Oklahoma. I planted 23 seeds on 4/20. All bag seed.
Now we have 8 girls. 6 tied down to the "trellis" and 2 left to grow tall. They're about 5 foot now. 15 gallon pots. 1 is in a 20 gallon. We're also veggie gardeners so I'm always busy out back.
I'm growing to make cco for medical reasons. Unless like last year. Only 10 ounces. I'm really interested in washing the buds. Any ideas or opinions on that?

I dont worry about pests. The predator bugs take care of them. I only spray it If i see caterpillars. It's outdoor and there will always be bugs.

Any ideas on washing buds? I've always wondered if it can be accomplished without losing any good stuff. The climate is harsh and dusty so it can't be good to inhale that stuff

No like dunking them in a water and peroxide solution to clean off the dust and critters after 6 months of being outside.
