Looking good brother

Thanks brother, you might like this.

I've just spent about 40mins torturing the life out of No1. if you compare it to the picture at the top of the page, you can see how much i've open it up.

You can now see the developing branches at the first node making their way up, and pushing out some decent sized leaves.

Also managing to keep it pretty even on top.

Now a few macros. Click on the pics. This is the top of the baby, well what was supposed to be the top.

Here are a couple from the tops of the side branches.

Here's one trying to catch the light on a single pistil.

So far i'm really impressed with the ANQ, that appears to be quite a lot of plant to me, for only 19 days in. Just hope i can keep on top of it, at the rate that it's growing.

Shes getting big quick.

I'll nominate myself to ask the "dumb question" ...

So have you essentially tied pretty much every branch?
Pulled them down and out?
To create a low, level canopy ... AND ... give the lower leaves [normally popcorn] to lift up and become a part of the new and lowered canopy?

In other words, is the goal here to manufacture and prepare "a level playing field" ... ??

Is that the basic strategy/theory?

Indeed Grim…. It's off the hook

There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers, and here it comes. Essentially yes, spread it out far enough and low enough, to allow the developing branches at the first nodes on each side branch to try and catch up with the tops, before letting the whole thing go once the stretch starts, and with any luck you can squeeze out a few more blooms than normal.

Hazy man, I love this tutorial type thread. I been tying down plants for a lo g time just never seen it done and explained this clearly. The theory was in the bible and I gave it a shot 20+ yrs ago. I usually just crank the top over now and let it go. I might have to rethink it and try something new and improved

Cool.

So logic would dictate that each tied down is at the base of the second node, allowing that first node to have the freedom to shoot for the moon ...

... and I'm going to go out on a limb here [pun intended] and assume that the tie down is on pretty much every branch with 2+ nodes.

Am I on the right track?

Once I get the theory straight in my head, I can see a fun weekend ahead!!

I see a fun weekend on the horizon, You explained it better than i did…You got it.

Here's a pic from a previous grow, confirming everything you just said.

 

[Yozhik]

You got it.

Nailed it ...

Thanks for that Yozhik, I've been 'bout ready to ask similar for a few days now but couldn't even phrase an intelligent question!
And the detail regarding tying down anything with 2 or more nodes, brilliant. I do believe I'm unnerstandin' now (-:

Fine informational thread Hazy, much appreciation for yer efforts!
