I could have 5 different scapes by the time the meeting comes!

We have been begging for an advanced trimming technique for awhile from you, glad we are going to get to hear about it.

I can get the dome shape, and some bushyness, but that is perfect dome and fuller then any I may have ever seen.

AWWW, just spill it man! It will save some questions during your presentation and give folks an incentive to come to meetings, they aren't big enough yet. We need to break 50 ppl @ your place!

I need to open a bag of Aquasoil and get back into the groove.

I saw this tank after a previous trim, I think I have the key. If you trim and make it look nice, it will grow out looking like crap. If you hack the crap out of it, not making it look great at all, it will grow in nice.

Hmmm, so trimming strategy lies in deciding when and how to make it look like crap?

I used to stress about how to make my tank look good. Now you two are telling me I have to stress about how and when to make my plant look like crap so that I can then stress about how and when it might look good?

Crap never looked so good. I have the jungle look because I can't bring myself to hack everything to the bone.

I prefer the jungle look personally.

its a plant, it grows where it wants not where I decide.

I will never win a scaping contest.

Something I forgot to ask, when do you trim the stems? When they hit the top or doesn't it matter?

I whacked my stems down to nothing but bare stems about 3" tall, sure hope they grow back!
