keeping the number of branches off the mainstem down to a small number, like six or less.
Ufff read Your whole vertical goodnes thread and it led me in here :)
And how do You do that exactly ? Wait for the plant to have 6 floors and then cut the bottom ones out when they start growing ? That would leave the bottom of the plant empty. And do You then restrict the number of the smaller branches ? Still learing how to train my plants. Got my head around doing it horizontaly but vertical is a bit different.

The bottom branches actually will bend down, as well the middle branches. When they reach across the trellis, top them.

Not using a trellis yet but I'll probably implement them SOMEHOW to my setup. Freehand is messy. I've tried trellis before but in slightly different setup and if done properly , makes fighting against how plants grow naturally a bit easier :)
Thanks Brother !

Trellis makes it a lot easier.

They left me 12 and I have a med card....
I guess it's better then nothing. Now you have to elevate Your game and start to grow Sequoias. You can do the it :bigjoint:

Good to hear it only end up like that. It's not fair to put a man through that kind of stress.

Oh, no- they aren't through with me yet. Already had one mistrial and they want another one. Fucking clowns.

Hey tty saw that you mentioned elsewhere that you had a rdwc set up which doesn't require a chiller? What's ykur ambient room temps in order for that? And what's your diy set up like? Don't think I've seen it and I was looking into the pricey CCH2O system but realised how easy they can be to put together. I'm guessing you thought the same

I was disgusted with the piss poor design of the Undercurrent, from their PVC and cheap seals to the design of the water flow. I don't use air pumps or stones- they do. I use a manifold that delivers water evenly to every tubsite, they don't. The only bucket with a waterfall in it is the only one they DON'T want you to put plants in! WTF?!

Soooooo I redesigned the whole thing with 1" bulkhead fittings and flexible hose. Now it can be disassembled and reconfigured in minutes. Waterfalls in every tub create ideal conditions for root growth with no excess equipment. Better design eliminates the need for chilling. Simpler is better because there are fewer points of failure and the whole system is less expensive to buy and operate.

Do you have it setup now tty?
