Max I am in love and quite impressed with your plants. I wanted to show you some love because you have been helping out.
One thing I am really interested in is when you bent the plants. what stage did you do that at and is that so you can get more than one cola. Would you suggest this for my grow since I have one light and such a small area. I really think it would help me get a better yield.
Usually I would do this with Plants from seeds the last 10-20 Days before forcing them to flower so all the branches start to grow a little bit more as they would do usually.
This time sincerely I did this 'couse of my bad equip, it's difficult to get good equip in Venezuela, and I didn't want to spend much money 'couse I have to move to the E.U. soon again, so there's no reason to invest lots of money.
So I tied them down to get the lower parts closer to the CFLs.
Anyway it's a grow just for fun, in Europe I do that kind of different^^
I don't think it makes sence if you tie your Plants down.
You are not gonna veg them with CLF or Flo, you will use a good reflector and you are working with clones not plants from seeds.
If you want to tie anything down, you might do so with your mothers, they usually should get more and bigger branches this way, but remeber even to tie them down means a little bit of stress for them, you might rather put some flo's or cfl around them or just do nothing....
If you would like your clones to get more colas you would just have to cut them down, but this means they need more time to veg and it doesn't mean more harvest anyway, so with clones better use more but small clones.
That's why I told you the other day that you should get square 6,5L or 7L pots and work with more than 20 plants flowering at the same time, it's how you get the most harvest out of your 600W
