could someone please try and explain some of the different shapes of growing the plant such that space is saved, etc. Ive heard about the christmas tree and the flag and the modified flag, yet i dont undertand exactly what some of them are. Can anyone explain the chistmas tree and the flag patterns as well as any original ones? thanks

Look at the feature grower chat transcript with Brett Hester, he explains it there, much better than I can, he is a true heavy hitter!!! Steve
