This time around I've had it on 45% and seems to be working out(not really sure what the go is but its better than last)but im not arguing with northwood.
Well my advice now would be never to try fix something that's not already broken. ;)

Just keep on doing what you're doing because they look fine to me.

they've stood up a little bit since taking the net away, I thought id chuck a pic up
Now's a good time to tie down and spread away those more aggressive larger branches down further so that they aren't higher than the youngest and shortest branches you want to keep. She looks pretty thick, so you can start gently and tighten up your ties over a period of days. That will help prevent accidental breakage. Don't be too afraid of snipping off entire branches that are so low that there is no way to bend the higher branches to match it's level. At this stage though, they mostly look good. Just keep on resetting the tie-downs as she grows so that you get the growing parts well spread out to fill the tent, and the canopy relatively even. It should be interesting to see them in another couple weeks.

Thanks mate have tied them down as much as I could, to create a even canopy. Had a breakage, hope its not a major :wall: .there are a few smaller stems that are now exposed to the heavens, hopefully they fill out.

There are branches that are further down but are well developed maybe 1 or two on each plant, ill leave them for now and see how they react. The plant in the front left is the smallest with only 1 tie down becoz if i tied more id have to reduce the rest of the canopy(if you get what i mean lol),which is about at the max tie down. Is it ok to do it like this. Sorry for blabbering on mate.

I'm just curious... it looks like you have grass/weeds in your pots... indoors? Lol am I seeing that correct?
Is that why you have straw? Hahah
ye mate they actually grew out of the straw, its meant to be for strawberries. I've got cover crop seeds and that, but only chucked in a handful. I was curious to see what they looked like. Ill put more on towards the last couplee weeks of flower.

but why wot?
Well your introducing weeds first off...
And I would guess that means the straw is not sanitized. Which means your bringing in bugs and pathogens...
Plus I could imagine how easy it is for bugs to hide under there
Blah
Benefit of indoors is not dealing with those things lol (most of the time)

Yep there's are few bugs under there alright, but never had problems so far, fingers crossed. Mate this is the first time out of my 5 mediocre grows, that I've had close to zero nats(5 caught on sticky and thats it),so to me its a win so far.How do you sanatize straw?

You can't
You don't add it lol
Indoors I always use steril soil
Then you add your micro bacteria
Absolutely zero bugs
Zero mold pathogens (a good start at zero)
No pathogens
There is no reason to need straw indoors
