I haven't posted pics in awhile as after I topped it took awhile to see a big different...however now it is significantly visible that the undergrowth has continued...and I'm happy to say I now have two tops!!! YAY! I'm posting pics on Wednesday...for real this time.

first off ill start with LSTING i perfer going to use paperclips

Top the rest of your babies then you take the main stem and bend it parallel with the medium then tie a lose hope around the top of the main stem and tie it so it stayes parallel. just like you are doing excpet right now you only need one tie and you need to bend those stems over. this will expose the side branches to the light and they will start growing to the light. later you will tie these down to and thats when you have multipule ties. after the second tie down i would add a scorg net but that a lil ways from now.

now when you do finally decide to induce flowering, all the training will pay off. What would have been your tiny and airy bottom buds. Will now turn into nice, photogenic colas.

now for the main thing in the quote that scared me.

"I just make sure that the bulbs aren't too close to the plants"

NOOOO. lol keep the lights a MINIMUM 2 inches away. CFLS need to be as close as possable in order to get the most out of the lights. the penatration of a cfl is not very far so the closer the better. you won't burn them belive me. also this will prevent over streching of the stem.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE.
