Going to start "ponytailing" these girls today, along with being bent over I'm hoping these training teqniques help to grow one spectacular plant .... well two. Chester taught me this trick on my first grow and I belive it to be a great form of spurring that lower growth to explode at a young age. I also believe in supplimental cfl crammed right up in there. I know it help bc even with my 600w mh running when I stick the cfl in the plants turn towards it to soak in that 6500k cfl goodness. I'll do this 6 hrs every other day
I use it to spur the side branch or undergrowth as you mentioned. Once that is started later the main cola will still be taller so I bend it over. Once that's done the side branches or what was the undergrowth will all grow straight up. This helps keep plants short like I like and also provides many main colas instead of one so you can now maintain an even top and manage your lighting better . Keep the light 18 inches from all of the tops instead of 18 from the main and 24 or more from the rest
Helga will not get ponytail ed this round due to the undergrowth being tall enough that the upper fans can be tucked under I'll have a few pics to show. Feed is @ 1.5ml/L GMB and 2ml/L B52 and voodoo juice but the voodoo juice will be stopped after today.
Helga
Olga and her ponytail. She is a little behind Helga and the undergrowth is still not tall enough to tuck under upper fans so well keep her going for a bit .
