The Bending Project

At the beginning of this month I topped and then transplanted my sativa plant into a 5 gallon pot and gave her fresh organic potting soil. At 73 days she was 15” tall and I want to continue her in veg for a while longer but I was going to run out of room fast so I decided it was time to start my bending project

Using small metal loops that I attached to the pot I started half way up the plant and used a natural rope tied loosely around the stem to start bending it back and used 2 sticks to support the stem. Then I attached a string an inches up I attached a second string to start the bend over process over the next few days I tied the strings down till I could attach 2 strings to the top branches and separate them out so they wouldn`t be so close together and get more light to all the branches.

Since I have started this project I have noticed the stem getting much thicker and stronger and branches that once was growing very slowly have now thickened up and have started growing much faster branches and one on the bottom have grown up and snaked around so they could get closer to the light.


My plan for the end of this month is to pinch the tops and branch her out more. I will bend the branches around to form a nice solid bush.
