I love to go hunting too. My father and grandfather were both gunsmiths. They did a lot of bow hunting though, and bow fishing! I am very OCD also. When something interests me, I try to learn everything about it. I have over 600 books in my library, 37 on mj alone. There are so many ridiculous theories and methods. You are one of the pioneers that is actually experimenting and learning about the growth patterns of the plant. I accidentally did a mainline my last grow. I topped it and lst'd it and that's the way it ended up. The next grow I'm going to try your method with several of my plants. I have mostly sativas this grow. I am 5' 8", and the largest is taller than me as of today, and hasn't begun to flower yet. It's making me a little nervous, but it is a beautiful plant. There is so much to learn about growing. I have done Spring grows before and this is my first Summer grow in South Florida. It is definitely a whole new ballgame! Keep up the good work! xoxo
