Great exposure. I tuck and bend. For perspective, what is the diameter of your pot?

Looking for opinions, advice,etc....also do you guys fuck leaves for max light penetration or just let them cover?
best to get rid of all those nasty leaves [BTK them] - how on earth is the plant supposedly supposed to get light when all these pesky leaves block it right away? :blsmoke: :wall: :P

Are those slip knots or a stretchy material? As your plants grow those stems are going to get thicker. If those knots don't expand your going to choke the branches.

The leaves themselves can just get tucked, you don't need to tie them down. Your training the plant to alter the apical dominance which only effects the growth points on the stems. Auxin goes to the tallest growth points and caused it to grow so by tying everything down level auxin is distributed more uniformly.

It's just a cheap string. I thought about the stems growing after I was done. What would be best to use?

That's awesome. This was very last minute as it's my first indoor/autoflower grow so original plans was to let them go naturally. There's not much time with autos so I ran to the dollar store and grabbed this twine
