    How do you support your plants?

    Hey all, I'm a semi-advanced grower that's always looking to help others learn, and learn more myself. I'm starting an article series, and I'm wondering how you all support your plants after you've trained them to be big and wide, but now they are heading in or in flower and need support. I...

    Training tips to increase yield!

    I think this would qualify as a pic of big ones....too big actually. Those sour kush on the left more than doubled in size when they started to flower, 2 of them were on the ground, and it's 8 feet to the lights.

    Training tips to increase yield!

    Hey All - I wrote a brief article with the top 5 ways to train your plant to increase size and yields. This is a rough draft for an article in a local publication (I hope). It's my first publication since high school, so I'm prepared for some quality constructive criticism if you are up for...

    Hello RIU Family!

    Thank you for the warm welcomes! Glad to be hanging around here. I'll be posting an article I wrote for a local publication later today. I'd appreciate as much feedback as I can get, it's my first foray into writing for public consumption in over 10 years, so I'm a bit rusty.
