Not sure how the green ribbon works on the planter pots, all I could say is that you can try it. The rolls are certainly cheap enough and you could for sure use them to tie up your tomatoes and cucumber vines...(They work awsome). The beauty is you can tear the pieces off by hand easily with no scissors or knife. You then pull a piece off big enough and wrap it around your stem. Then you pull both ends that will pull the stem down to where you are ancoring the ribbon. You then tie a standard knot and pull the ribbon. It will pull the vine closer and closer till you get it where you want it. Then wrap another knot to finish the job. Maybe this was to much information as you probably already know that. Haha..
As for LSTing, I don't read into that much and get that technical. I just bend as many of the tops downward as I can. I have 2 main goals for doing this..
1. Keep the plants low profile so they are trained to grow horizontally for the most part. This provides a more stealthier grow.
2. Allow more sun to get in through the center to produce more dense growth with higher yields.
As for whether the outdoor patio lights and such interfer or hinder the plants required darkness period is a good question. I've had one grow years ago that surely I could not notice any impact. The plants produced buds as long as my arm. I had all my lights set on motion detectors that would come on and off regularly. I would surely like to hear the answer if you ever find it...
Well man...it's over 100 here today... Scorcher. My ladies are sunbathing out there.. The shorty converted to veg and is still growing.. The wierd thing though is if you peel the foliage back and peek in there you see some pretty strong flower development with strong skunky smell and crystals. On the top of the plant though, new veg growth.. Not sure how to deal with this one other than to let nature take its course and let it grow.
Happy 4th Man...
whats good Debudman!!!
where have you been??? not seeing any updates on your journal!!! wheres the pix??? i wanna see this flower then veg that your speaking of!!! i feel ya on that heat!!! it is 98 right now here. we had a overcast all day and now the sun came out!!! i have those same goals for the LSTing!!! i cant wait to see the amount i get from the LST and the outdoor!!! its gonna be such a great ride!!!
Great pics and congrats Bro!!!
CV!!! how goes it!?!?!? you got here just in time!!! like i have told everybody, its gonna be one hell of a ride!!! as you seen i just found out that i am now the proud father of 1 Afgoo!!! hoping that i have a follower with Afgoo 2!!! 
fftopic: anyways just keep an eye out for the link in my signature!!! now :focus: every day, i wake up i go outside and check under her leaves!!! all of them!!! and i get out my little magnifier and check all of her leaves!!! being as how you've done LST you know it can get confusing on which leaf you have already checked!!! lol, but it must be done, ever since i burned the leaves with the other pesticide that i had, i am afraid to spray anything else on her!!! I did however, spray the whole backyard with some Home Defense Max crap thats not even keeping ants away!!! works great for the indoors though!!! but it has in turn kept pests out of my plants since that post about them!!! havent found one yet!!! i took all the plants off the table, then i sprayed the table, and then cus i didnt have any garlic cloves, i got ghettofied and put garlic powder and salt out on the table... i read that thrips dont like the smell of garlic!!! had to improvise!!!
I am definitely past due on updating my LST tie downs. I hope to do that tomorrow. I will try to get some new pics for you next week. My tomatoes and cucumbers are growing awesome too. They also help to provide a great cover so my ladies don't stick out so much.
