Hey yall i have a batch of blue dreams. I topped one time as they were young. Then i felt they were getting a bit tall and not uniform so i topped the surrounding branches. As a result the plants are suuuper short and bushy. Bushy is fine but id lile them to stretch out a bit. They are bushy but the mind where the branches are buched up closed together. There is lots of grow space for the plants how can i get then to grow spread out again?

blue dream has a decent strech during the first few weeks of flower so i wouldnt worry to much, if you like you can use some bamboo sticks and some green ties pull the plant out to the sides and tie individual branches to the sticks. I would use atleast 2 sticks on oppisite sides and puull the most dominiate stem to each side, when u flower and strech, itll fill in nicely.

This looks and sounds like my preferred method. I top to 3 or 4 stems let em grow a bit then top again to even them up a week or 2 before flip. End up with 9-16 tops per plant that will not win a big cola contest but fill hangers nicely.
