This is my first grow, and for that plant I'm using, 2 _36 watt 2600 k CFLs and 2_26 watt 2400 k on the top and 2 of the 26s on the side. I've been reading a lot mainly on riu.

Those dogs will hunt. I take little wire "S" hooks I make and hang stuff from the ends of the side branches and remove none. Start on the bottom and every limb you made by topping. The yield in side buds alone makes it worth the effort and it beats tying stuff.

Ok so here's an update. I ended up with a male, a female, and one that don't have hairs or balls yet. Those are the last two pics, tell me male or female?
Dude, I'm lovin' your one liner there. Just one question: It isn't originally from Fringe right? Just sayin... it's my favorite running show, and my mind instantly went there.
BTW, any links with advice to this method, is that the 'official' name pinching and bending? From my reading, I haven't come across it before.
Looking great chilledoutnc. I wanna see how this turns out.

Hey guys, there's a few new pics. The confermed female was tring to grow back normal so I took some ceiling grid wire and made a few check mark looking things for all the branches. The other one still hasn't shown hairs for balls,but it kinda looks like small hairs on the inside of the top colas. Ill upload more pics saterday.

So my girls have been trans planted into 5 gal buckets, and have played with a few diff ways of keeping my girls where I want them and found that pipe cleaners the best for me. Now there about 3 weeks into flowering. I have another post but I'm updateing this one because of the title and the lst and hst has worked wonders for me.

Looking good man. I'm finding even if you link the stems they'll be just fine. On my girls the main colas are kinked and even split in some places and everything is still green and lush. I'm also about to switch to a 400 watt HPS light for flowering let me know how it goes. But here check out this pic of my canopy you can see that it's 100
percent level.

I don't have anything in clear pots other then the cups I use to pop my seeds.
In was referring to these, I only commented because I've seen others criticized for the opacity/treansparency of their container as it relates to root health.
