ok so i have thought alot about it and i have a temporary solution to my curvature. i took a fishing pole line and lightly looped it around the stem just under the newest set of leaves, and slowly reeled it down and into position. this didnt fix all the bend of it ( i didnt want to over do it)...

hey i too would like to see your pics about this as you posted on my thread about this same thing, (remember?) if you want to do a side by side and bounce ideas off each other. please let me know

thanks for everyones support... so a few things i have done are... i also have a plant in day 2 of its life of the same strain (came from same bag) growing upright in a four inch pot. i havent focused any of the light on it it just gets what it gets, also the three other seeds i had popped for...

so its the end of week 1. my thoughts on this grow are not good so far. i have a good size plant with 3 sets of fan leaves, the middle set have 3 leaves already. at the end of day 6 (last night) i mixed up plain(tap) water allowed to sit out 24 hrs and superthrive. this was her first feeding and...

the pure uvb fluoros are what i use with my big grows so i was scaling it down for this experiment and i ordered their handheld model, but instead they sent me a 2 footer. i will try to post a link if you are interested. NOTE: some places require you to have a prescription... Canada sometimes...

i am currently 6 days into this type of grow. if you wanna check it out here the link https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/305883-upside-down-trial.html.

so im closing it on a week, thought i would post a new picture. got a pic from side of container but its head on with the top of the plant, i also have a side view of the plant showing its "j" shape. so far i can get the leaves to bend in certain directions using light direction but i am havng...

end of day 5 and i have noticed the leaves follow the 27 watt 6500k bulb rather than point down toward the 68 watt 2700k bulb. i am trying to use this somewhat to my advantage and see it i can train it straight back down. so until morning the 27 watt 6500k bulb will be opposite the bend instead...

the tube has been in place for the night and still no bending back to the light, i will try it for a while longer if no new change i think i will consider adding something to help, i just dont know what would work best,the plant is about >2" with the third set of leaves starting

the heat is a major issue with this especially right now for me because i have the lights close enough that the bag with the soil is heating up. i am using a therm to keep track uf my root temps, which are sitting right at 84F where as the temp at the plants height is 72F. i have the plant close...

i didnt get a link i would like to see the pics/ journal. are you stickin with t5s or switchin?

i agree that other lights may work better, but i am simply making the same conditions i use on my big grow, except for this i am subbing my fluoros with cfls. i use fluoros, 6500k, 2700k, uv-b and i use negative ion cfls in addition. so basically sticking to what i know works so well for me...

i agree already that this may be the best way to do this, or a clone thats done rooting... like i posted earlier tho i want to start it young so it never really new the tru way, but alas i am losing that battle...

ok so i just got back from store and i found a 68watt cfl, so this will beat the 42watter i had originally planned on but it is 2700k, so for now i still have my 27 watt 6500k cfl on it and i also added an older 6500k 17watt fluor. trying to get it ready. my ion bulb should be here in 2 days as...

thanks, i am thinkin i will need alot of it

DAY 4. here is an updated picture

so i just put the tube around it and kept the straw in there to straighten it out to the end of the tube (cut down). if i can find some batteries around here i will snap a new pic and post it, looks pretty funny with its bottow leaves facing the pot and the top leaves heading toward the light now.

i like the toliet paper tube idea, i had propped it upright earlier with a straw, i also took off the paper towel at the bottom to keep light from reflecting back to the plant and confusing it more, i dont wanna have to tie it up at all but i think it is inevitable...

so the plants bending/flipping was countered last night by moving the light away from the bend, hoping it would straighten out... no luck. in fact it is almost growing "up" already, against what i have now. she is still progressing but her top is at her base, i think my lights need to get...

so im am just at the end of day three and i am already losing the battle to nature. i have new leaves sprouting and they are doing great, but the first set of true leaves are already almost facing the container. not in the way i thought and had seen a picture of, with the tips curling back...
