Thanks it's OK. I'm throwing in 4 1818s running a 55w with my 600w hps for flowerPlastic is pretty cheap so I don't think it would be too much, definitely more than screws though. I'd have to weigh all the pieces, but should be less than $10 worth of plastic. If you are really interested I may be willing to print some out, just be a few days of printing and a disclaimer that I'm no engineer.

- DAY 27 (From Seed)
- Decided to try some LST and used some gardening velcro to bend the girl over.
- Turned lights up to ~140w

- DAY 28
- She was looking great! all the leaves had turned over and the top was trying to turn up as well. Then my dumb ass has to fuck with the pot trying to get a good picture. I moved the pot material and it tugged the plant a tad too far.
It cracked about half way through the stock right at the bend. I had to fess up to the real gardener of the house
and the decision to top was made.
- Turned the head into a rooting experiment. Don't have pics of before, but this is after.

Nice! That setup should do you well.
Yea, looks like a very lucky slip thus farI think she looks much better that way! Lucky mistake!
It is still alive but no roots yet. Will keep it going but I was hoping to see something by now..
I can't say for sure, I kind of Mr Magooed my way into that 4 topper. I cracked the main stalk by accident after doing some LST. It broke just below the 3rd node and was topped just above the second. I don't know if the LST + the topping caused it or if I was just lucky.... probably just newb luck.
That's exactly what he did..I saw it...
Good job tying her down... you just made a lot more tops.. you may need to thin her out in the middle..I can't say for sure, I kind of Mr Magooed my way into that 4 topper.

Thanks for all the input to the thread! I thought it may need some recovery time, now I might go back and adjust tonight. Is the trimming just for light penetration? Cleaned some of the original leaves off the bottom but that is about it.
Air flow and light penetration....I call it productive thinning... plant looks good!
