I wanted to share a post with you all. For years I have got fucked off with too much middle growth. No light and air getting through, so I decided to try a new way of vegging. Now I top them early, get many branches, then supercrop the fuck out of every branch at the edges. Then I remove every single node in the middle of the plant. Here are 2 cheese clones which are going into day 1 of 12/12 tmrw.
Next plant, both have gavita 750de in a 4x4 tent each. 1 plant, 20 litres of coco perlite 70/30.
So there are fuck all nodes anywhere in the middle. That kind of makes lollipop'n a bit easier. Not to mention trimming. They grow loads in the stretch anyway, so I just bank on that. I did this technique to this lemon skunk clone from DNA. She is a nice distance from the lights. I have put the lights just over 1ft away now. This is her on day 32 of 12/12. Still haven't had to lollipop her as there is nothing under there and won't be. Look how the mid/edges just grew to the middle, which then allowed the far/edges more space too.
For me it does bare the question, why would anybody leave on middle growth, unless you want more work, more lollipop'n, bad air flow, no light hitting the bottom of the colas... Trimming nightmare. It just goes on.
Ok, so for you lst people. Tying a plant down for me isn't to my taste. It gets in the way of the watering can. Your plants have string, My plants have hardened month old supercropped knuckles. They support their own weight well. I do highly respect the method mainlining though. I will say that, but I don't have height issues in my set ups.
I believe I have found a very easy way to grow for coco growers. I'm naturally very lazy, so always do things to make it easier for myself. This technique just makes real sense to me.
11 years of growing has brought me to this point. This plant makes me smile each day when I see her
I will add photo's of the 2 uk cheese clones so you can see them develop.

Same technique, same feeds...
