Started tying my plants down about 8 years ago. I say I LST but my training is really a bit more stressful as I squeeze stem or branch carefully from 2 directions with padded pliers, bend and tie to container rim. Gentle is the key.

Canopy is only a few inches thick. Only plants not trained are very squat Indica like Sour Bubble. End result is the end of wispy popcorn and more first rate buds.....no main cola.

LOL....I know, right? It takes a little courage the first time, but as NugHeuser says, soon you'll be looking for a stretcher to molest. It's fun to treat them girls rough...the keepers love it...and so do weed plants. :o

One tip: You can't do it half-a$$ed, or the plant will bounce back in hours as if it never happened. I pinch as hard as it will go, crushing the stem, then rock it back and forth to make sure it's thoroughly broke. Make sure when you do the pinch that you've chosen the direction you want it to lay. It'll recover in 24 - 36 hours no harm done.

It's hard to remember the no-pain-no-gain adage when you're dealing with plants. I'm gunna give it a practice in a few weeks with the outdoor ones I have going on. Somehow I feel less attached to Bilbo and Frodo Bagseed (yeah - I decided to call them that).

Thanks for the tip, makes sense. If you're gunna do it. Commit! Same as always :-)

Just wanted to share a very cool tree that has been "highly stressed" by loggers back in the 1920/1930s. THis 700 + year old Western Red Cedar resides in Upper Lynn Headwaters North Vancouver BC. It sits 50 meters off trail and 99%+ people walk by with no idea it's there, or about it's history, on their way to Norvan falls. It is dubbed "The Survivor". Legend has it that 2 fallers were killed here when another crew working nearby took a tree and unexpectedly fell toward the other crew. For whatever reason being superstition or other, both the "Survivor" and the tree that was felled was left. It resides in a healthy second growth forest and there are very few of these left on the North Shore of Vancouver. I visited this tree a few days ago and it alive and well and so will be for many generations to come. It is amazing the stress it was put under only to grow additional roots for support and stability and burls to what I assume to help deliver nutrients from the forest floor. Notice there were spring board notches cut, a big wedge to where the tree would fall, and a crosscut on the backside side above a burl. Unfortunately My pictures sucked from lack of light, so credit to bctreehunter for these great photo's and ensuing research.24868325807_74ea84ebaa_z.jpg 25865939338_18fa3e1365_z.jpg 27959073099_7b48da3353_z.jpg 11025819_358470841027986_67969241196204572_n.jpg 41328-copy.jpg 38839656685_f5c03d4c03_z.jpg

I must say, im new to greenpoint but so far I have found 2 keepers out of 3 plants which is very impressive imo...

I have gone through so many dud plants from dif breeders for 5 times the cost in the past that only recently I started running seeds again...Meaning I was running other peoples clones for 10 years now....This thread led me to greenpoint.com and im glad I did

What's up with the Space Gorilla on the reverse auction? It's dirt cheap right now but when I add it to my cart, it says there are 0 available. Refresh and the countdown is still running...

Just thought I would share 1 of my crosses of Sour bubble x Bodega at 17 days. yes she got knocked up. I was collecting polen at work from 3 males Riri F13 x Headbanger, Trop Trails and Sour Stash. I knew better then to go in flower room but the girls were bone dry so gotta do what you gotta do. Bastard seeds lol. I'm pretty sure its Trop trail that got on my shirt since he is the only 1 that threw a cloud in the air but can't be 100% sure. Was only doing pheno run so no big deal, never know could be the next GG4 in there lol.

Y'all talking about training them girls? I know a little about that, lol. This damn plant is the worst for letting her go au naturel, she'd just go bean pole on you real quick and wouldn't yield shit. Top her, bend her or tie her ass down or be sorry. She takes it like a champ and always bounces back.

I just topped all of those tops on her after this photo.

Can you describe what kind of smells are you getting off that Bounty Hunter?
Been curious about that as Legend OG is one of the females Money Mike used to make I-95.
Thanks
