Here's a temporary DWC set up I've got going while I'm trying to get a little grow room remodeling done. I'm going to LST these and see if I can't get a bunch of bud sites to put in my stadium screen. I put them in the system 13 days ago. I can't figure out if I like topping and FIMing better than LST. These plants are from some severely abused and ignored clones. I can't believe they turned out as good as they did.

I thought some people might be interested in seeing a couple before and after tie-down pictures. I keep seeing people tying string around things to keep branches down, but I think this twisty-tie method is easier and faster. I've tried string, and tried taping it to things, but often the tape comes loose. Whenever I get a twisty tie I throw it in a drawer. They are very handy for all kinds of things, especially LST. I also bought a big roll of the stuff for $2, but can't find the damn thing now. Oh well the individual ones work just fine. If you need a piece longer than you have, you just twist two together.

You just make a little U-shape at the bottom and top of the twisty, and hook it on a branch and the lip of a pot or whatever is handy. When you want to make the branch go lower, just make the bend(s) for the U-shape a little closer to the center of the twisty. If you have to pull fairly hard on a branch, the U won't do, so you make a loop around the branch.
