Oh hey, Opie- should point out that getting away from the organics would also allow you to set up a peroxide drip- might be an easier way to boost 02 than sourcing and swapping nozzles.

That is a good point and one I hadn't thought of. It just never occurred to me that I could ever be using peroxide. And yet another thing you've given me to research. Thank you.
By the way, yesterday I gave my ladies a foliar feeding of Spray n Grow. I haven't seen them today yet, but I know they need some tucking and tying badly.
Are you kidding... You may no be a pro but you are definately a grower... don't be modest... Most people people can't even make a chia pet grow...Quote:

Sorry to contribute this so late in the post, but when situation arises, and I need to push a branch one way or the other, I've been using these for years...keep in mind I don't do a LST, but sometimes the plant just doesn't want to co-operate on it's own.Quote:

I figured these out when I accidentally tied one plant to another, and broke both when re-arranging my plants. (DOH)
Thanks for chiming in Rusty. That looks like a good idea with the copper wire. It's good for a lot of things, and that's what I used to make the frame for my first stadium screen. I'm not sure that I would want to have to use tools to tie down my branches. I know you don't do many, but when you're doing 5-10 ties every day, or something like 25 at the beginning, it's real nice to just be able to grab a twistie tie and bend it with your fingers. Your's definitely look more heavy duty, and maybe it's just the kind of thing a person needs for tying down those big MJ tree trunks. Looks like you have special ones for holding a stem away, or up, and special ones for holding a stem down.
Excellent wire-thingy idea!!!
2 thumbs up!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
More pics, more pics!!!!! :jointsmile:
it worked pretty well for me...Just an added idea..I had wrapped a copper wire, with these ring things to hold and move on the wire where needed...
Keep on growin,
