You don’t have to uppot but a bigger container of soil will benefit her yields. On autos you can get by with smaller like 3 or 5 gallon but for photos I want at least 7.5 gallons but I’d prefer 10‘s or 12’s.

I thought uppotting was important. I’d never actually heard of it till I joined this forum. Do you never uppot?Only gives them a shock and gives you work
Sunshine state sounds good to me. I love the warm weather and big yard
Well today it is pouring with rain, so I jinxed myself.
Oh and I really don’t have a very big backyard either.

So I really don’t like this stage of the grow and while on my walk this morning, I saw a perfect example of why. I just love plants doing their own thang. I hate controlling them. Now I get for yield etc the LST and bondage is good for them. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.

There was some carnage (of course) with my tying, I broke a main stem on Billy. I know I said I wouldn’t pad lock them again, but I find them so hard to bend. I am open to advice as I have a feeling I have some how mucked it up. I did try and find where I tied them up last grow but I can’t stand reading my own dribble. I wanted to quadline one but I’ve forgotten the process.
They look so sad!

It's easier when they are at younger stage. I start off by massaging it and holding it with my fingers in place for few min and then tie them down. Think of it when you go to a massage place. The masseuse doesn't jump on you and start cracking you. they warm up the muscles first

They’re looking terrible right now.
I broke a main stem and it looks like it’s in proper trouble.
Wrap some scotch tape around the bend. Take an old dry stem off an old plant you’ve saved and tape it in between for extra strength if needed.

that's true, you probably will also notice bigger yield on that particular branch

lol, but don't go breaking branches just to get bigger yield. 
There is other techniques for that

A couple of things Trala when training. As the plant grows you need to move the ties up toward the newest nodes. You have a lot of stress on the main branches. Looking at the below pic, you should move that purple tickler to the left, near the base of that new node growing. You want to use the flexible part of the plant.
When you topped your plant you left very little stem above the 'V'. You want to leave about 1/2"-3/4" of stem after the top. This takes the stress off the center of the stalk and helps prevent those main branches from snapping.
That should help a bit next time.

It couldn’t be saved. It was hanging on by a thread.
I get so annoyed at myself. I go at things like an uncoordinated baby elephant in a china shop, then I’m literally shocked when I break everything.
I was saying to Mr S, I LST like a serial killer with a bondage fetish. One minute I’m gently stroking, next minute I’ve torn an arm off and my plants are screaming in fear!

Prolly a good thing you cleared that up tbh.lol, but don't go breaking branches just to get bigger yield.
Its all shits and giggles till I’ve torn off every branch with the expectation of a bigger yield...

But just so I’m clear you mean this aye?
OMG and that plant! A bloody grasshopper had a nibble! I was so annoyed, not as annoyed as I was when I tore Billy’s arm off mind, but annoyed none the less.
