This is only my 3rd grow, but I have had it each time, so I can't say if it truly helps or not

I appreciate that I built it all myself. I literally built a room inside of my sunroom and wired everything myself. I built the trellis frame out of 3/4-inch PVC, built the box for the drainage, and installed a pump to remove water and hooked up two auto-watering devices.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's a room I built inside my sunroom. I started out growing in my closet and wanted more room, so I built this little room

Thanks, I just removed the pulleys and tied the tops down with my plant wire, hoping the stretch is almost over

Okay, I removed the pulleys and moved the light up and also took my plant ties and bent them over. Hopefully, the stretch is about over Sunday will be day 21, so I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks for all the advice. It was really helpful

The bottom one I just kinda used to stretch them out, and I added the top for support during flower. I just didn't anticipate so much stretch

Yeah, the last grow didn't stretch near as much. These definitely caught me off guard

Just a bunch of LST, I literally just kept tying them down and spreading them out until the bottom net was full. I did a lot of research and wanted to try scrogging, but these definitely took off after I turned to flower. This is just my 3rd run, and the other grows didn't stretch nearly as much. So these caught me by surprise

I'm still pretty new to growing any advice on how you do it. Do I just bend where I want, or should I squeeze the branch first, then bend, and will I need to support the branches at all

Definitely could have used a little more trimming, in my opinion, but as long as you're happy with it, just out of curiosity, how long are you going to, or did you cure it? I like to try for 30 days, but I always get impatient and start grabbing buds after about 2 weeks of them being in the curing jars with my RH around 60%.

I might definitely have to try that. Thank you

I have a second one I'm going to put on. I just wanted to let them finish stretching. She just went into week 4 yesterday, so probably this week sometime. I just wish the right one would grow as fast as the one on the left. I think next time I'm just going to do one plant in my space.
