Not yet. I've been waiting for prices of the raw materials to get a bit more reasonable.
I'm gonna dig in after this next round see what the best value proposition might be for that. I think if its hassle free I'll scale it up etc. Creating jobs is a challenge..

They've put off the trial for 2 years already.

They hate it when we demand our rights.

Hey bro. I've got another vert underway, but feel last time I had them too bushy and want to pin them back to the screen more, but feel I need to trim some steams off and just run like 6 main steams up the wall. I'm just trying to gauge which ones I should trim away.

Hopefully that makes some sense lol

Would you not just top until you had 6 main stems and trim back all secondary ones if that’s what you want? Never done a vert per say but I have topped to get 6 mains outdoors.

The main stem should be topped to 4 meristems, give or take. They need to be about even in size. Let those grow out and then too them so they have a similar number of side branches to one another, the fewer the better. It's like growing a pipe distribution network.

Cheers mate, will have to do a bit of work in there tomorrow.

Hey Paulie, our methods are a bit different, you RDWC and my Coco, but our screening and lighting is set up fairly close.
I am interested in you trimming back to 6 mains, keep me informed on that please. I use individual screens, 5 separate plants each has it's own screen. I do this so I can move the plants in and out of the tent to work on them.
As far as pinning them back I have found that the thick chenille stems work great, they can be bent to your needs an easily attach to the screen.

Look forward to this next grow of yours and good luck.

That looks nice, clearly you've put in the work to train the plant.

When I trained them like that I got disappointing results.

When I topped the plant and kept only 4 side branches my buds were bigger and I got much more usable results.

As I recall there was a supreme court ruling in Colorado saying that they don't have to compensate for plants or weed that LEO destroyed or took. Before that there was a case where a guy won money in court because they destroyed his crop and he was proven not guilty (medical and within his count but it was a high count)

On my last few vertical grow I have been over a g/w. Is it worth the labor involved, I am retired and this a my hobby so yes it is damn worth it. :)

Yep. That guy won in my county. And yes, that legislation is further proof that the state cares nothing for our civil rights.

Espalier is the name of the technique.
