This method is very simple and can be used
whenever you want. It doesn?t matter if you do it during
veg or flower. Its all about the lower branches that we
need to spread out. When tying the lower branches down
you will get a better air circulation and that will
reduce the chance for mold, also the yield will increase
because the sun can penetrate the canopy better.
Caption translation = The "early girls" with the
tied down lower branches.
You can use strings or ropes or
whatever you want to tie the branches, don?t tie them to
hard because they could snap. I knew a guy who used the
inside of the tire of a bike, because this stuff
stretches out the branches won?t snap when its very
windy. Be inventive. Also don?t bend the branches all at
once in one day, bend it more and more, day by day, this
way the branch wont snap. After doing this you will
notice a very large open area, Because all the lower
branches have been spread open, don't worry, in a couple
of days the improved sunlight penetration will fill it
up again. Using this method, you will create a wider
plant which will have several more productive bud sites
and heavier branches than any plant that wasn't trained
this way. It's like scrog without topping the plant, but
instead of doing it to a little indoor plant, you do it
to a tree. |
