It's legal here too, but I guess I'm shy. I do look a bit like the dude in the avatar. Seriously though, sometimes I feel like everyone grows around here, and no-one admits to it.
I often wonder who around me grows as well. I have a neighbor that has had many back surgeries and wonder if he is on prescription meds or if he is a MJ smoker like me. I myself have grown up in an era of fear and distrust of our government trying to put me in jail for growing/smoking a plant and even though it is now legal in my state I find myself always reverting back to being VERY careful who knows what I do and keeping it under wraps. So even my neighbor has no clue what I'm doing right next door. Better safe than sorry I suppose. One has to wonder just how many others are doing the exact same thing. It will be nice to someday not have to hide what we do and come out into the light about it. Someday....
So when you tie down the branches, your basically just hold them back alittle on the side for light prenatation?
Yes, by tying the branches to the side I’m spreading the plant out allowing better light penetration.
