U can pre drill holes around rim in put screws in..(bout every 2")and start tieing them over.this is what i do to my outdoor plants cause its not legal here..wrks excellent

@kkeniff Yeah I bought some clips and I may try some lst on one or 2 of them but height isnt really an issue in the shed so I may just let them go o'natural. Any tips on when to start flowing nutes?

The way i do it is i keep them on veg nutes after i flip for a wk n half.take advantage of the flip/stretch.usualy wk 3 is when they start to want alot of p n k.dwc is easier cause u just change nutes no flush n between.lil harder doing that with autos

and idh hieght restrictions either..i use it for the structure...a short/wide/staulky plant will always giv you more flowers..always.think of it as a tall lanky guy benching 200lbs,and a short staulky guy benching same weight..the tall guy has a longer distance to to push the weight up..

Week 4 update pics. Seemed like nothing was happening all week but I think they've started to take off since yesterday so we will see.
Right now they are getting CNS17 and cal mag with each feeding as well as some mammoth p and root simulator that I got as some samples. All nutes at quarter strength. Plant on the bottom row in the middle got in a accident when one of the pups got in the shed the other day end result was a broken stem so I tapped her back on and she seems to be doing just fine tho!!!!

Start of week 5. Think I may have jumped the gun and added bloom nutes to this last feeding. Anyone know if I can switch back to veg nutes for the two I watered with bloom nutes or is it to late once you start ? Thanks for any help

Here we go with week 5. And so far the deformed one from the begging is starting to be my favorite! And to think I almost tossed her

2 out of the 5 seem like they are done vertically already. maybe stunted because of the cold temps idk. They've spent most there lives in the 60s or just bad genetics.

Week 6 update. Most of them seem to be coming along well finally got a tent and was able to get my temps up!!! Couple of the girl seem to have a nitrogen deficiency and possibly one with with toxicity. Lower leaves have been turning yellow and slowly making there way up. Could be from switching to bloom nutes to early ? Not sure

Any input or advice is appreciated!
