spicepilot is beginning to sprout.

This is definitely one of my favorite threads! Great job mMv!!!

I'm a fluorescent, micro grower, so training and LST techniques like this are essential for me. One question: does the relatively weaker light of fluorescents mean that I have to be careful about how much training I do? I know I've got a bad habit of leaving the ties on (I use twist-tie like you get in packages of garbage or refrigerator storage bags and they work great) and not taking them off after I've got the plant to open up. But it also seems that, after awhile, the plants respond a lot less to training (meaning, they don't grow nearly as vigorously).

Is that because of leaving other ties on, the fluorescents, or something else I'm not thinking of? I'll always LST to take advantage of my small space. But I don't want to limit my yields too much (at least, not any more than using fluorescents does!) ...
