Ummm, not really great how to's.. actually no that's not true. I found one but it was in december and I can't seem to find any threads since they changed the set up here, but I'll look around for you. If not then here's a link to my first grow if you wanna look, might help. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/289170-bagseed-first-grow-attempt-3.html

But basically, wrap a string or something around the stem or branch and just pull it, gently, so its bending but not snapped and tie it down. and as the new growth comes, you keep tying it down so its parallel with the ground. you can do it with branches too, itll help a lot with light penetration.

oh alright, yeah if you have an hps itll have to be further away to prevent heat stress and burning. but keep us posted on how its going

get you lights 4-6 inches. away from them an if you plan on flowering those your gonna want more light to get more then a 1/8 in 10 weeks. an they are over watered stop watering.,

well so much heat it drys pretty quick i water about every 3 days or so (it's dry about 2-3in down) and i mist leaves with carbonated water once a day when they wake up. (i read alot of places it's bad to water or mist late mold ect can form with moist leaves when lights are off ect.)

i was over watering them in the start and i have backed off i was watering about every day but not alot... just about 2 liters for ALL thos plants.

but recently after advice i got here switched to the 2-3in dry thing and using more water when i do ( doosh em pretty good till dribble of water comes out bottom.)
it might be the soil ...all i had was mg long release max moisture stuff laying around.

oh ok, yeah the watering seems good then. and its alright, you can still grow in miracle grow, thats what Ive been doing. you just have to be careful with it cause the pre added nutes in the soil. but its looking good
