Day 15 flower, just did a big defoliation. The canopy was getting way too thick. Hairs are starting to show, and the stretch is slowing down...

Looking great man. That stretch was crazy, but giving the genetics there wasn't to much going to stop it :D I want to do a led 3 plant cab grow and this is how I pretty much seen it in my head. Beautiful!

Looks like you have a little bit of headroom left... how close do you let the tops get to the light?

Day 20 flower. The fucking stretch is crazy...ugh. Got some bud swelling finally!

I am almost considering topping but fuck...that would suck. Anyone top this late into flower? I've been bending and defoliating like crazy, no room to train much anymore.

Yeah looks like you flipped them a bit late.. Quite a stretch. Canopy looks great though! I have not topped that late in flower but it can be done. Have you tested this strain before in a scrog? I don't throw them in a scrog until I've grown them out in a pot before and have an idea of their stretch. You might want to prune any of the lower branches that aren't getting any light. Is the light maxed out in height?

Yeah, dude. Light is maxed out at the moment, I could MacGuyver something but it would be a pain in the ass and only get me 2" more.

I have not grown them out before so this is a learning experience. This was supposed to be an indica heavy strain, short flowering time, but it's showing strong sativa characteristics. I am hoping it halts in stretching and just swells like crazy.

I've been pretty aggressive with defoliating fan leaves that aren't helping and are blocking bud sites. Also, I read that fan leaves help stretch the stems out so removing some will help stop the stretch.

Everything under the screen is gone.

What's crazy is I thought I flipped at a good time, screen wasn't even 50% full yet...then BOOM, 12/12 made her go nuts...

I haven't topped a plant in flower before... on purpose :D
I have broken a couple tops off being too heavy handed while training, those colas never filled out as well as the rest...

Personally, I would consider super cropping before I topped but your canopy is a little tight. Maybe do some removal of the nodes that are further down to thin it out a bit and then give em a bend?

I've been supercropping the last week. Helped a lot! I may double my tops now, I had 30+ before, I may end up with 50 to 60!

They are bad ass! No heat, super bright, try and keep them 12" away, I find that the best distance for max spectrum

Do you think 2 X 300w units would be OK for a 1mx1mx2m veg tent ?
I'm getting mixed reviews on how they are with vegging plants and cuttings

Thanks
