Hey all, me again.

Been growing my first plant in hydro (just a very simple 25ltr bucket and a couple of air stones.)

Everything was/is going great during veg and start of flower, but now she's just becoming a bit much, growth is crazy and water use also.

I know I should have trained her a lot better but the tent is very cramped and honestly it just makes it a hassle to do anything. Regardless she is now at the lights and they can't go higher.

I did defoliate recently but leaves have just grown back with gusto.

What would you do? Hack the top off and lose those colas, try some extreme bending?

Cheers.

yea as for the light problem you can try to do little bit of lst try to pull the branches to the bottom a little you will probably get a few cm but your jungle will get fucked

How long did that auto go before it launched? That's a lot of vegetation for an auto

Ok only thing I can suggest is the following. You have a net above it. Use it to pull up as many branches as you can into a better light position. From below on the pot pull the top most buds down. You will prolly have to pull at an angle so you will trade hight for sideways movement just like the other way straightens plant branches and changes horizontal movement for hight.
Once you have a good placement and have done what you can defol anything 13 inches below canopy tops. Then go over the canopy and tuck any leafs blocking and remove any that can not be tucked but are blocking prime bud sites below.
This is going to take hours. But it is because you are hours behind training and you know that.
Anything not clear ask. I got pics.😎

Thanks again, love this site, so much help without all the bitching.

Plant Vegged for approx 4 weeks (would need to check), but yeah she definitely a bigger lady lol

I'm gonna get in there later and start hacking and moving, I just get paranoid about breaking shit (I already broke a fat fat stem, which I am trying to save lol)

I Definitely lacked on the training this time, few things making it a hassle, mostly small tent, and the net pot keeps slipping through the hole in the bucket lid (lid cracked/split), which just .akes .e not want to get in there..
