That's looking awesome Stunt, cannot wait to see what under all those fan leaves! Looks hella PAKed:slap:
 
Really creative. Im gonna make one for my friend for christmas. They look like them Hebrew Minora's, Those candle things. He will love it. Thanks Stunted.
 
Thanks Vaped and arkangel :)

The PAK was retied again to improve it's shape, this is the final time I will adjust this plant's shape. The next adjustments made will be me chopping it down lol.

Here's what we have to work with:

First thing to do is get all the ties off, which can be time consuming depending on just how "Spiderman" you went. Just be gentle taking the ties off, you have two hands....use them both, one to hold plant near tie and the other to work the tie.
I would suggest you use a pair of pointy tweezers as it can make it easier to remove ties.

(I seem to have lost a pic, the one with no ties....oh well look at the next pic and you can see they were all removed)

Once the ties are off check how it's holding it's shape and check for straightness, since this is the last retie it all needs to be nice and straight...and dont forget to check the main stem while you are at it.
Most straightening will be done once nearly all the ties are back on, if you are careful during the retie you can fix most of the problems then but dont stress out if you cant.

Time to tie, you will notice the first branch is now bent down nearly level, that will give the plant the biggest spread across possible. On the right side I could not bend it down level but got it close, the risk of breakage was very high and I did not want to stuff it up.

And just like last time we work our way from the bottom up and from inside to out.

Finished, see how it is more spread out :)

Don't forget to check the straightness and fix where needed, no matter which way you need to adjust do it slowly and carefully.

And lastly the Jem, it turned out nice imo :)

Before I forget again here is a tip, DO NOT pull branches around by the tie wire, instead use your hands so you can feel just how much pressure you have on it. Once in position then add the tie. If you pull with the wire you increase the risk of breakage.

Live long and stay stoned my AFN friends,
