Definitely don't take the heads off , just keep snapping the heads , and keep snapping until stretch stops, will be any day now as flowers are formingDay 22
They are still stretching. I'm starting to think that these may have been the beans Jack swapped his cow for.

And the buds are still only at this stage

So I'm seriously thinking of taking their heads off again. If I leave it much later, it'll start hitting the yield, if I don't do it at all, there's a risk of, well all sorts of things. I'm bending them twice a day, and they just pop back up again. Why are most terps hidden in sativas? Such a pain to grow.
These can grow fine in tents , but you did grow some big ass plants for a tent ? , when grown that big I advise to top a week before flower and stretch will be controlled to 2 foots colas.Yeah, to be honest, the advice I'd give anyone growing these in tents, is don't flower the seed plants, take cuts and flower while smallish. I suppose it really cuts down on veg time once you're up and running with the chosen clone.
Mines stopped and finally firmed up at week 4. 10in topped plants ended up 5ft.6 multi topped monsters!!Neither the sssdh cross or the Casey Jones cross I have previously grown, were anything like these. Quite honestly I would argue with the statement these can be grown in tents. Not properly, not 3 of them in a 4x2.
They are still stretching. They've run right into the led fixtures, and been cut back, 3 times now. When does the night mare end?
I have to kill one of these off, then criss cross the stems, then work out some way to hold them up/down?
B and C smell of nothing but cut grass. A is starting to smell delicious. The sort that you sniff and say to yourself, this one, fingers crossed, might be worth the trouble. B is ever so slightly more controllable than A and C. Frankly, C is going to have to pull something out of its hat just to survive the week at this point. I still have a clone of it, but I think, at this point, A is going to be the winner of the first round. If it is nice, there may not be a second round. I think If it works out like that, then future A grows will be in a tent on it's own. These need space, lots of space. I'd highly recommend netting too. My next purchase
These plants are very good for Super cropping, you can keep doing that until stretch stops ?.6.5 x stretch, wow. So week 4 is the crossing line to reach, let me do some quick maths, ok I'm on day 34 here. So in theory, if I crop them down to a level they won't burn at, I should be good with all 3 surviving. Or ditch C and just lean them over each others roots. Ok, I have 2 ways forward then now I've crossed the line. I'll choose on Friday. I do the work at the week ends. Week days are just fetching and carrying food and water for them. I'll grab picks of survivors then.
It's to late now if the buds are that advanced , stretch has not stopped yet ? , very strange , once in flower and buds form stretch will normally slow and stopI would try but each has around 30 heads to tie, and already burning around 2 inches from the led. My tent doesn't have enough sides .

I had to cut here and there, but managed to save a few,

If those buds stretch though, I'm in trouble again.
Quite honestly, one month in, clones being a month faster, I'd finish at the same point whichever choice I made. I'd rather start over, these are a mess. Just no weed left, hearing 3 more months at the quickest, I'm not in a good place with this grow.
