"Riding the Rails".........canopy managment 101

......one of the greatest attributes of the canopy ring method, is the incredible control it allows......almost all growers,
(esp. those confined to an indoor space) are faced with the challenge of filling a certain footprint in an efficient manner....often a plant will have a mind of its own and dictate its own placement within the space.....like a round peg in a square hole!.......i say "phooey" to that......this system allows the grower to instantly alter the footprint of a plant by simply sliding the colas along the perimeter of the ring....thus "riding the rails" so to speak......creating a "puzzle piece" with each plant, which allows the grower to piece his canopy together to form the finished "whole" canopy.......i have made all sorts of interesting shapes to get the desired effect........

.......circle, rectangle, triange, and diamond respectively.......

.....this is a cabinet grow......there are four plants, each had to be an almost perfect square in order to fill the footprint properly........it was cool to pull them out individually and see the shape....a bit surreal!

Finally I can add to your rep again Nugs and this was the perfect post for me to do it.

Your tutorials are the bomb man. Keep killing it. You are loved.

.....this is my flower space.......almost every square inch is covered in a 33 x 70 inch space, using canopy rings, and soft wire ties.......i harvested 36 zips from this run, 8 plants in 7 gal. smarts, under two 600's....

......nothing scratches my itch like a well managed canopy!......

......this post goes out to my man budman678, who turned me on to velcro and smarties!...........

... ...by now you know about my love-affair with bondage.......i would be lost without coated electrical wire, and hard-pots in early stages of main-lining and bonzai.......but last year my bro budman678 turned me onto strap velcro!....this shit is the diggity for use with smarties!....works even better than wire....with just a flick of the wrist, you can tweak a whole canopy...BAM!....ultimate control!.....
