"Riding the Rails".........canopy managment 101

......one of the greatest attributes of the canopy ring method, is the incredible control it allows......almost all growers,
(esp. those confined to an indoor space) are faced with the challenge of filling a certain footprint in an efficient manner....often a plant will have a mind of its own and dictate its own placement within the space.....like a round peg in a square hole!.......i say "phooey" to that......this system allows the grower to instantly alter the footprint of a plant by simply sliding the colas along the perimeter of the ring....thus "riding the rails" so to speak......creating a "puzzle piece" with each plant, which allows the grower to piece his canopy together to form the finished "whole" canopy.......i have made all sorts of interesting shapes to get the desired effect........

.......circle, rectangle, triange, and diamond respectively.......

.....this is a cabinet grow......there are four plants, each had to be an almost perfect square in order to fill the footprint properly........it was cool to pull them out individually and see the shape....a bit surreal!

Finally I can add to your rep again Nugs and this was the perfect post for me to do it.

Your tutorials are the bomb man. Keep killing it. You are loved.

.....this is my flower space.......almost every square inch is covered in a 33 x 70 inch space, using canopy rings, and soft wire ties.......i harvested 36 zips from this run, 8 plants in 7 gal. smarts, under two 600's....

......nothing scratches my itch like a well managed canopy!......

......this post goes out to my man budman678, who turned me on to velcro and smarties!...........

... ...by now you know about my love-affair with bondage.......i would be lost without coated electrical wire, and hard-pots in early stages of main-lining and bonzai.......but last year my bro budman678 turned me onto strap velcro!....this shit is the diggity for use with smarties!....works even better than wire....with just a flick of the wrist, you can tweak a whole canopy...BAM!....ultimate control!.....
.

...too much beauty not to share.........

day 40 fade begins........perfect timing....

I love that part, you don't even realize it. You smoke some vortex, you sit for a bit, next thing you know you are working on somethin you need to get done. Then you say "hmm where'd I get the motivation to do this? Oh, musta been the vortex." It's not that u smoke vortex n say I gotta get something done now, Its I'm getting something done hmmm musta been the vortex i smoked earlier.

Elegant method, clearly described Nugs.

I get it here also (wheatgrasskits.com) prices are decent for good size bags. I bought one bag 1 1/2 years ago. And I still have 3/4 of the bag left, the shit goes far....

this one is for Gladstoned...thanks brother......this is kind of a cool story, Chris Robinson will be playing in minneapolis this weekend, and a good friend/patient of mine has back stage passes for the show......he knows the dude responsible for getting Chris his meds when he and his band are on tour.....well there is a good chance the lead singer of the Black Crowes will be medicating with some Vortex straight from Nugs Lab!.....my bro has a TGA nug jar, stuffed with some chosen jewels from my Vorti #1, with chriss' name on it.......nerds represent!

Nugs Soil Test......

...the cuts of V.D. were treated Exactly the same, cuts rooted same day, main-lined for 16, transplanted same day ect....they only difference being the medium....the plant on the left is in my custom mix made with a blend of an Amish made mix, and another local mix made with organic dairy compost....both the base soil, and the supersoil were made with this blend.....on the right, Roots base, and Roots supersoil....., both plants recieved 50% supersoil.........they are the same color so far.....i know this is just veg and structure, but the "Amish" mix is crushing the Roots mix....by far.....the real story will be told in the fade and flowers, but it is hard for me to believe that the roots plant has a shot in hell of matching the amish mix in terms of yield......not with such a discrepency in structure.

Wow that Amish mix is crazy compared to that Roots plant.
