My foot tall plants (in veg) stretched to be up to my chin and I'm 6'4". Try to train them down and flip em!I've got a bruce banner photo and a green crack photo, both of which I let get about 5 foot tall indoors and have not flipped yet. Have I made a mistake or not. They are in a 4x5 closet and mars hydro tsl2000 with ac infinity 6 inch exhaust. My main concern is the stretch when i flip them. these are my 1st photoperiods and have never seen the stretch to know what to expect
Lol. I already supercropped and topped them. That just pissed them off and they shot up another foot in about a week.My foot tall plants (in veg) stretched to be up to my chin and I'm 6'4". Try to train them down and flip em!
As long as you have 10 foot ceilings, you're fine. The flower stretch usually doubles or slightly more what you already have.I've got a bruce banner photo and a green crack photo, both of which I let get about 5 foot tall indoors and have not flipped yet.

You're going to need about all that space to flower either plant. If they're 5 ft tall it must already be pretty crowded in there? How much more vertical space do you have?I've got a bruce banner photo and a green crack photo, both of which I let get about 5 foot tall indoors and have not flipped yet.

Yes getting crowded in there but I do have 8 ft ceilings and I'm going to clone the bottom limbs sometime before harvest b/c these are beautiful healthy plants.You're going to need about all that space to flower either plant.

Depending where you are, you could throw one outside now if you had a place to put it for some kind of crop by late October.
Hopefully you can keep clones of them going for the next crop?
Yeah I'd ditch one and find a way to train the other to a more horizontal position. If you do it a bit at a time you could probably get one close to horizontal in a week. Then you're ready to flower. Otherwise you're probably going to just get one big cola bud per plant, a few other decent smaller buds near the top and a bunch of larf anything more than 18 inches from the light. But you'll probably increase your yield by 50% or more with a more horizontal growth habit of the main stem(s) under artificial lighting.Yes getting crowded in there but I do have 8 ft ceilings and I'm going to clone the bottom limbs sometime before harvest b/c these are beautiful healthy plants.

You won't get anything under 3ft from the top. The light doesn't penetrate. I've grow 7 ft monsters indoors and they lolly pop themselves from lack of light.Yes getting crowded in there but I do have 8 ft ceilings and I'm going to clone the bottom limbs sometime before harvest b/c these are beautiful healthy plants.
My rule is never chop more than 1/3 of the plant. You can take more but you're risking major problems including hermaphrodism and death. We once chopped 100 plants of 3 strains about 50% once and 10 of them died and one strain all went hermie. Another time we chopped 5 strains by roughtly 67% and over half of them died and four of them went hermie. Borderline anecdotal but it's pretty clear that cutting them too much is very stressful to the plant.You cab just chop them down to 2 feet or so. No rule says you can't chop 60% off the top.
I have some tall mothers from seed I'm sexing. Once they're done giving clones I'll chop off ⅔ as an experiment. Maybe seal the wound with some honey. See how long it can survive. Now I'm curious.My rule is never chop more than 1/3 of the plant. You can take more but you're risking major problems including hermaphrodism and death.

Better to just super crop the main stem apical tip by securing it below the other branch apical tips half the plants height. Even if the stem breaks sealing the wound and letting the secondary branches take over will be less stressful than cutting off the main stem apical bud sight.My rule is never chop more than 1/3 of the plant.
