My longest veg was I think 15 weeks before the flip. It wasn’t the best thing I’ve grown but it got to be 5’ long and 4” wide. One plant, 24 tops.
I have a similar question on 3 of mine. Lol. I lost 3 during germination. Now i have 3 that are a week behind.How long is too long to keep in veg stage? I have read that you can delay flowing and keep veg as long as needed. I have 4 in different stages. 1st two are 2 weeks older than one, and the last seed was a week after that (long story). Was wanted to keep them vegging until the younger ones caught up a bit.
Maybe I will top the 1st two and the others can catch up while in recovery and then not top the last two. I am sure I will need LST as I have 4 plants in a 3x3 tent. Maybe not, we will see how well they grow.
If I had only one plant I would have that kind of room. But not with 4 in a 3x3 tent. I was going to start with just one but could not decide which strain to grow first. :(My longest veg was I think 15 weeks before the flip.

I almost killed my 1st two. A few said I should start two more in case they did not pull through. Well, they are still alive and doing well. I am not unhappy about that, just concerned about the space I have. I want a good yield but also do not want to delay flowering any longer than needed.I have a similar question on 3 of mine. Lol.

Push them all to floor at the same time. Let the larger plants lead your timing. Raise the lower girls to get good light and push em all through no matter what size the small ones are, just don’t leave them low and get shaded out of light.If I had only one plant I would have that kind of room.

I mean this is just what I would do. LST won’t stop growth, so I would LsT shorties only for even canopy to the tops and get them up to the canopy with risers.Push them all to floor at the same time.

Right... that is done to get more light correct?LST won’t stop growth
Whats your style? If you dont mind.Maybe my best advice would be to keep the first grows simple. Watch them and learn how they grow. Pruning and training gets easier when we know what to expect from the plants. Then develop your own style.
Wait you told me. My bad. I been doing dabs and reading this all morningWhats your style? If you dont mind.
LST should be to get more spacing, even canopy to all tops and to expose your tops to direct light.Right... that is done to get more light correct?
I figure topping the 1st two would put them in recovery so the other two could catch them a little.
No worries. We're just now getting high and will do our best to catch up with you.Wait you told me. My bad. I been doing dabs and reading this all morning
Correct. Plants grown under sunlight benefit from the changing direction of light. Plants grown under artificial light that doesn't change in direction need some help. So, part of what I do when I remove leaves is look for leaves that are blocking light, especially those shading buds.Right... that is done to get more light correct?
Not sure... but I have watched a Youtube video that was saying when it gets to 5 nodes, snip at the 3rd node. I was planning that so if wrong, let me know.Did the conversation include when to do which type of pruning?
How much smaller are the newer plants?Right... that is done to get more light correct?

You know how something shows up on Youtube right after you saw it somewhere else? Well... Here's an example:
^ I'm not recommending it. I just saw it and decided to share it.
I wasn't looking for it. It just showed up on my Roku Youtube feed. I thought it was BS. I'd be more inclined to believe large-scale growers don't top to reduce labor costs or just have more height in their growing spaces. Most of us folks who grow in tents are interested in making sure our plants don't outgrow our tents. Topping and other pruning can help do that.Funny how you found not to top and I found top asap, just shows how much is still up in the air with growing.
