Opinions? Any Suggestions? Hopefully Help

Often I top my/fim my plants to control the height in veg, you should always limit the number of main shoots depending on the size of the plant and thin out the rest, get rid of the stretched side shoots in late veg/ early flower as they reduce airflow(increasing chances of bugs and mold), reduce light in the canopy(lower bud sites) and use up plant food. 2- 4 main shoots per 1ft2 work best for me.

Plants stretching in flower can be controlled by the number of main shoots, just before you flip,
for example, a 2ft wide plant with 16 tops is not going to stretch another 18" but a plant that has not been topped, may stretch another 30"

Here is one on brassinosteroids & chitosan

Molecular Characterization and Positive Impact of Brassinosteroids and Chitosan on Solidago canadensis cv. Tara Characteristics

Although goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) is considered an invasive plant in many countries, it is a global cut-flower species. In addition, demand for goldenrod has increased significantly in recent years. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the response of Solidago canadensis cv. Tara to...

At the plant gym......

"Aaaaarghh!!!! Where's Dandelion!!?? I know you're in here Lettuce!!! I'll rip your leaves off!!!"

<Smashes cannisters of plant food against the wall>

"Ivy.....what the heck......is wrong with.Cannabis??? And he's doubled in size since last week!"

"It's a shame tomato.......it's those damn brassinosteroids."

"Yep, they'll get you every time. Did you see what it did to Goldenrod...?"

what week you in veg or flower?

Soil ph takes time to severly flunctuate you need a teater theyre the game changer

Lower your light its stretching and lst the outsise branches a different direction each and the or two tall ones i would FIM them rathervthan top maybe even twice to let the outside come arou d from the outside and catch up itll be ready to flip by then temember 1/3 of its height at flip is what will roughly b added go hydro and that plants is that big half the time

I'm too late to film, she's flowering now. I started out lst but after the ph3 or my poor watering technique it stopped growing like it was, so I quit the lst. These plants got about 4 ft tall last grow, I did actually have my light completely at the top of the tent. I did top twice, but the shoots that grow out anyway seems like I really didn't need to top, but I did. I'll try to get a pic of the shoots that grow out. I'm no pro so it maybe common.

It's flowering now. 1 week in probably.

I continued feeding as have been. Which is about a 1/4 of recommendations on the bottle, which is what you suggested of Grow Big and Big Bloom.

Hard to tell really without seeing it live, but shoots everywhere

See how it's bushy down low and looks stretched up top. Same light same distance but started this after my water issue.

Suggestions? I made the mistake of watering with ph3 water, 2 water cycles. I've noticed changes in growth since. I've continued with ph 6.3 water since. Did I lock it up? No nutes yet. Fox farm ocean forest soil. Not 100% sure of age, probably 6 to 8 weeks.

Are you saying the water is at pH 3?

mmm probably a time in change of feeding..
you have the 3 fox farm nutrients right?
calmag?

Yes

I found this picture on google, you can see lots of "main shoots" all the same height, I can see 2 main shoots from the picture you took with lots of side shoots, so your plant can grow very tall.
Plant above training called Main-Lining and they all result in short wide plants, even plants grow outside.

You have not caused damaged

DURING VEG YOU WANT ROUGHLY A 5.8 PH LEVEL!!!

why you ask?

Nitrogen is best taken up in cannabis plants at 5.8ish pH level!!!

Flower- is when you want 6.5 to 6.8! Best for phosphorus and potassium uptake in cannabis plants

They take in those nutrients better at those levels!

Here is a live photo of mine... it's called mainlining.... follow my tent and truck liner grow diary!

@GNick55 whats your thoughts on feeding?

 

[GNick55]

@GNick55 whats your thoughts on feeding?

3 ml of grow big
per gallon
3 ml of tiger bloom per gallon
2 ml calmag per gallon..

 

[GNick55]

and your 2-3 weeks into flowering..

 

[GNick55]

can you bend those tall branches over and tie them down to about the same height as the rest?..

Like at a 90° at same height as others
