I wonder how you could use this technique with an aerogarden. Any ideas out there? Maybe could tape the stem down to the surface of the machine?

this is a great method. and cant you just use paperclips to hold down the stem as it grows?

i doubt paper clips will work, the branches will prob be strong enough to out pull a paper clip.

can you do this without changing pots to keep it smaller?

this works really well... I use it to tie branches down to my screen to keep them all receiving the same amount of energy from the light.

As was mentioned, if you stuck the paperclips into the dirt I think the strength of the plant would pull them out. You could always superglue paperclips all the way around the pot so you have anchor points for your tie downs...no?

I just finished firing a huge bowl so I could be thinking through my ass right now too, LOL...my cat is running around nuts.

I will definitely be using a similar method in my upcoming grow, great stuff.

hey, does anyone know what to do after you harvest in order to keep the plant the same length because once the big stem gets to where it originally started, you wouldnt want the plant to grow anymore right?

Hi all,

Yes this does work with paper clips. I'm currently doing this type of LST right now.

Here is the link to my journal: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/135439-circular-lst-journal.html

Check it out and let me know what you think.
