fence with metal twist-ties. The third
dimension was almost entirely
eliminated. Since the plants
configuration was well controlled, the
gardener controlled the spacing and
helped light to reach all plant parts.
- Some growers build training stakes for
their plants. These are actually wooden
stakes with cross stakes attached.
Growers tie the plants to the guides as
they grow. The stakes are configured
for maximum exposure to the light.
Excess growth is trimmed so that the
plant conforms to the pattern set by the
stakes.
