I know those big tool company's like nortern tools sell those little furniture dolly's for pretty cheap. I guess you will have to figure out yourself the remote control part. I do no someone on here that might be able to help you in that area would be @dstroy . His whole system is automated. I know he would not mind asking him some thoughts on what might work for you.

Whats up my man @dstroy sorry i did not see this post till now. I have a couple WC veg shots. Not the best shots she looks kinda unhappy but you can get a idea of structure. Don't remember why she was sulking there but i do remember being one of the most vigorous veg plants i have ever grown in veg. She started giving me some issues at week 3-
4 of flower. I believe it was a P deficiency but keep an eye on her she is a finicky one but i am sure you can tame her.

ECSD & GG4 week 3 update. Not to much going on this week just hoping the stretch starts to slow down. I was thinking i might have to do a third round of super cropping but maybe not. This is 1 week after major defoliation and super cropping. Another week and you want be able to tell i defoliated at all. Also zero signs of fungus gnats after 2 treatments of Tanlin. 1
treatment may have done the job i just followed up with a second treatment to be sure.

Nice Capt looking real uniform and pretty. You're keeping em under control, which is no easy task!

Thanks @spyralout when the stretch is over i might even it out a little more. My sniffer does not work that well but i think i am starting to get a whiff of the ECSD.

The same plant on mine supercropped itself again on another branch in two places
one where the branch splits off. Duct tape but it kept sagging. Don't think it's gonna make it

@spyralout don't you have a way to support them after they are taped up?

I am going to try a yoyo right now. These branches are skinnier than the ones I just tape and go.

That angle is fine in fact it is better than strait up and down ( more light). Not sure but that plant might need more silica than it is getting if the stems are that weak. I wish i had some here i would start adding a little right now. You are giving me a lot of incite on what i need to look out for on this ECSD. As stretchy as the ECSD is i can see the GG4 is worse. It is out pacing the ECSD at this point. Oh and post pics any time not a problem.

Cool Cap'n. The big branches are strong but some side branches off of them are skinnier and vinier. I have cal mag but haven't tried silica. Is it available at regular stores like Wal-Mart ?

Not sure the last time i bought it was from the GH line.

GG4 & ECSD week 4 update: The stretch is over not as bad as i thought it would be but i stayed on top of them. I super cropped at week 1 and week 2. The third week i stared using the zip ties to slow some growth on tall branches( method learned by @NoWaistedSpace )
. I think the canopy came out awesome . I had to shim up the ECSD to match the gg4 in height. Every thing is still on cruise control. The one close up shot is the gg4 starting to frost up.

I'm glad it is working for you. I never used them that much in flower, but veg, you can fill your plants to a density in "cubic" square feet I'll bet you could speed up reg plants showing sex sooner.(Only if the "Volcano Seed" theory is 100% fem correct). @Heathenraider is testing that one. You might have to leave them covered a week maybe 10 days? Or close them off 6 hrs or so when lights on, then let them breath in darkness? Do it with one or 2 tops on a plant. It's "kinda" is like a "DEP". lol
I never thought about testing to see if it actually does speed sexing up. You are blocking a few sites, but can it do harm? Hell if I know.
This is for you all to test out. This could greatly help in keeping "no wasted space" in your garden. lol
I test for stability and treat my plants like shit now a days. lol
Shit, I almost forgot. Nice crop you got going there. I have some of the "Hbean man's" WC mom clones and SLH x WC clones about the same size(<3ft)
They are sick and very unhappy at the present. I put them through the "test". Not always on my terms. lol But in the end, if the smoke turns out excellent?
I have a winner.

Looking real nice Capt, good job! Keeping em under control and in style to boot. Very efficient use of space and light.
You got a shot of ECSD branch and buds? Would like to see if they're forming like mine, would give some insight. Remind me, are these H beans?
