lovin the setup GD, thanks for mentioning my name, thats very thoughful, your plants look great, i actually stopped taping now, and have been using yarn to tie back the top of the stalk, ths causes an "S" in the stalk, i have 8 tops and 2 colas on each now, and im about to top the 2 new ones to make 4 colas
I abandoned the tape as well and did a few diff tie downs. Here's pics from today. The G13 Cheese (last two pics) is amazing. She's very centered with tons of tops coming out in a cluster. Can't tie down beyond keeping some fan leaves lowered to expose the tops.
They do look nice and healthy, good job. As far as training I like to drill small holes all around the top of the pot and use pieces of a high guage wire to train with, easy to use anyway for me.
