Additional Front to Back Training

I wanted to separate tops a little bit in the Front to Back direction. My current preferred method of doing this is to Peg Training Sticks into holes drilled in horizontal struts placed at the left and right cabinet sides. Holes are drilled into these 'Peg Supports' at 1.5 inch intervals to correspond with one chain link.

Until today, I had only one pair of Peg supports. One at each cabinet side. But the canopy has outgrown these. I'm using one at the far, back right to turn one branch but other than that, they are too far down for convenient training. They are 8 inches below where I want to train now.

Eventually I want to replace all horizontal side supports with Peg supports. But this is difficult to do while the plants are in the cabinet.

Today, I was able to get in there and replace one pair of side supports with Peg supports. Now I can separate the plant tops in the Front to Back direction at a higher level.
