*Strong Branches*

Hi everyone, this is a 6 plant grow with aero and led. I wanted to show how well my chutes have done. These babes are thick and ready for more weight!

why are your nodes so knobby? strain (like from a fan)?

I wish I could say. But I know what you mean, the chutes are huge at the base. I've been working on a techniqe I call combing, I'm sure it's called something different, but I simply brush the fan leaves back everyday. Or simply tie pars of them together to allow more light to the "strong" chutes/lower chutes to grow as tall as the main. I've found led to be more efficient in getting spectrum to the hidden or dark areas of the plant. Other than that, it was a gradual feeding starting at 190ppm to 1300ppm and now relaxing a bit to 1080 which is where I'll try n keep em. It might help to see the top angle.

Hey, if ya gotta tie em up, then that's cool too! Nice picture reaper!

With weight, you're still gonna have to tie em up or the branches will break. Even when you tie them up, they sometimes still have problems bending.

....or you could grow SOG size plants and shoot for single cola plants. Then you have no need to put your plants into bondage.

Like these under HPS... or these in a aero/fog tray w/LEDs.:thumbsup:
