Lighting DCAT does Auto Ultimates in Kind Soil with Amare Solar Eclipse 300

Anytime Dcat. Keep em down as long as it takes to get them fat and flat. Can also do this whenever your canopy gets uneven too. That way you can drop the light for even plant coverage

Got them tied down/over but forgot to take pics before I left. Will get new pics when I get home tomorrow evening or Monday morning as time permits.
Thanks again for the tip @BigSm0!!

Here they are after about 2 days of the main cola being tied down obviously a much more even canopy. Still not huge plants but I think they'll produce just fine. 29 days old.

New pics from tonight. Look a little more lively and awake.

Not sure if it's the light or what but they seem to be pretty thirsty. Need to water every 2 days. Whatever it takes to keep them happy. Day 31.

Looking great!! What did you tie the main down with? So I guess my question is can you just wrap around the main stem just under the main cola, then just tie down to the side of the pot at the desired height?

My pots have handles so I just used a pipe cleaner and looped it through the handle and around the main stem. The pipe cleaners are the ones made for crafts and I could have used safety pins to hook it to the side of the pot too.

Dcat those 2 taller stems on the left plant if they get taller you can pull those down too. Since your plants are so full, pulling a bunch of branches down would allow a lot more light to the inside.

Atticassason most hydro shops have rubber coated metal ties. Even most big box stores too. Walmart Home Depot. I'll snap a pic tomorrow, I usually big a few packs per run.

No it only helps. Instead of 30% of the leafs seeing light 70% will. Plus they tend to stay shorter being so engulfed in light.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. I have a bunch of those fuzzy pipe cleaners. Now I can use them haha
