How can i open my canopy up?

So how can I open this up I cut back some leaves but not working didn't cut back to much can spread apart dont wanna bend down so opinions

Or just let it grow out more

I am growing a bubble bomb plant right now that was always wanting to be covered by it's fan leaves. It would stay like a dome, no matter how many times I pulled it apart and bent it's branches it would be covered up in no time at all. So I ended up leaving it because there is only so much one can do without actually tying down the branches etc or weighting them.
maybe let it grow out a bit more then try some lst etc.

Yeah was thinking same thing my other plant going great

Stop over watering that will help.

Depending on your day time temps (with led should have no problem with about 80-82f) keep night time temps 10f cooler. This will help the node spacing a bit causing the plant to stretch a bit more. If you keep your day and night temps the same it grows very squat.

Looks like a hybrid indica leaner this is typical. A scrog is a good way to deal with them.

I keep it at 77 to 79 day

And I water once a week and get 20 percent run off on each watering

What temps do you get at night?
I mean I don't see anything wrong with them, nice and healthy.

Just in my experience sometimes getting a little more stretch makes the grow a bit more manageable in terms of light and airflow. With other strains doing the opposite helps keep them from stretching to much.

70 to 69

Sounds good to me. I would say some lst might benefit you. The more blue spectrum will make for more compact growth. Add the genetics, looks like indica hybrid will also add to it. They look healthy though and that's the main thing. As long as the leaves aren't stacking (laying on eachother) causing water to form I wouldn't be overly concerned. You will likely need a fair bit of pruning over this grow.

Once the time comes some defoliating will help lower bud sites get more light. But you aren’t even close to that point yet. LST is great and a method I use quite often. I’ve recently started using flower grates. It allows you to simulate a scrog without using a big net. Each pot has its own wire grid at the desired canopy height and I fill out the grid by bending the branches through it until it’s ready for flower. It maximizes the canopy and yield per sqft.

Can u put a link to the ones u use or buy.

Tomato cage will work as well to right
