Why do you have that one tied down?

I'm figuring because he has a small space, LST is going to be necessary.

Oh shit, duh. I seen it was small, but I didn't know it was that small. Do you plan on moving to a bigger space Swishsam?

I'm trying to grow her like a bonsai tree, having the main stem spiral round the pot instead of growing straight up. Just a little experiment of mine.
Sadly at the moment i don't have a bigger space to move them to. When I have some spare cash (that isn't needed for rent/bills/food) I'm gonna look for a cheep wardrobe/closet that i can setup in.

Craigslist FTW. So, to clarify, your going to have it grow around the outside of the pot?

All i can say is...you get out of it what you put into it. Get a three dollar flat white spray paint can instead of tin foil (much better) You deffinately have to get nutrients, no two ways about it, your plant cant live off of pee and tea. You WILL need nutrients, get them early instead of late. Also, I have done cfl grows, put the bulb like two inches from the top of the plant, its great. Also, flower early, a flourescent bulbs spectrum and intensity only has a usable grow zone of about 12 inches.

Be careful with that, because there seems to be a point at which the main stalk just doesn't want to play nice anymore. I've had to top a few of mine because they were having drying issues at the topmost (and furthest out) growth.
You might be better doing it for the first 5-7 nodes and then fimming to get it to split properly. Another thing to keep in mind is how you bend the plant. If possible, try to make sure that the branches can grow out to the left and right, rather then the top and bottom. The bottom branches always struggle.

Thanks for your input ChairmanMaow +rep
So yesterday afternoon the soil was feeling rather dry so I decided to feed them. I mixed up some tepid water with a few used teabags from the side of the sink, i also added a half tsp of honey (haven't got any molasses yet) and a nice little splash of urine
I watered them with this and left them about an hour before watering again with just water till water began to come out of the drainage holes. My thinking behind this is that the soil will absorb the "nutrient" solution but any water in the pot is just plain water, and should help me avoid nute burn.
I've just been to check on them this morning (aprox 16h since feed) and they are looking good, a bit of a growth spurt the second nodes are starting to grow now and the stems are looking longer. Mary's leaves are drooping a little but they where like this Yesterday so I don't think its the feed, no yellow or brown just nice green
I'm getting so excited now, I've been off work for a couple of days with a cold/man flu and all I've been doing is watching docs about weed and watching my plants. I hope they start growing faster once they get more nodes.
Added some pics, and I've also put a PC fan in there to circulate the air.
