Okay I followed the steps and got this far but man I appreciate any feedback, first on training. As mentioned I have an 8' closet with up to 6.5' for plants. I imagined topping four sativas once and have four main colas per plant. They all look like this, am I on track?


Will use this thread for other questions, appreciate a look fellas

Yeah youre good, how i would go about is is top, then tie down the tops and side shoots (that are subsequently larger due to topping) kinda like.mainlining but without the manifold...youll easily make the 6.5 foot mark if you have enough to tie off of, thats some times and issue lol

Yes sir you have 2-4 prominent tops I see that can be tied down. Plants respond well to this, 1/2 of mine are trained to a fairly flat top. The bottom branches are even with the top. I'm just working with what I have. One picture shows two plants the same age same strain one tied down one not

They look good and responded well , you can top again and " open up " middle for better light penetration.

Yeah like every branch tied straight toward the pot deal to like spread it, tomato cages are good i prefer "large hole"(lol) chicken wire.

Great thanks I do have string and rubber coated wire tie. Can someone give detail on tying , do I attach near top of mains and tie to side of pot or something to pull them away from center? Or am I tying to top of stems then somewhere above to pull them up? Sorry kinda confused training is more hands on than academic. Pic attached, I can tie to rack under pots, on sides of walls or even run string/twist tie from ceiling

I use thumbtacks or these ( Folder Clips ) available at any store in the stationary section.
I use a light twine ( kite string ) and secure at clips loop . Don't try to force too much at first , some growers go for a solid 90 degrees but just enough not to bend to sharply on the branches . As plant responds then you can increase a little more .
