tie that girl down! january 25 2010

so the xj13 was getting out of control

it's a beautiful plant, but so bloody tall!

i still remember a few weeks back, about 1 week into flowering, woke up at 7am when the lights go on and watered, all was well, got back from work with just 15 minutes to spare till it was lights out time for the girls, i opened the door and took a look....HOLY FRICKIN' CRAP! the xj13 had put on like 3 inches on 3 of the shoots, so i then had 3 main colas that i knew would cause me issues

on the advice of mi madre and a couple kind folks on the riu forums, i had decided to tie the girl down and attempt to train it in mid flower

i was worried because i do not want to stress these girls out, i have never gotten a grow anywhere near as close as these girls are right now, so i'm walking on eggshells with them

anyways, i tied her down, gained a few more inches of clearance between the tops and the light, i will be adjusting and re tying down on a daily basis, as needed. if the bends end up having too much weight on them, then i can makeshift a support tied onto the gardening stakes i suppose

without further ado, here we can see i have much more ceiling clearance!
