Hey everyone hope it doin well and stayin lifted.

Have a bit of a issue and I really cnt figure it out. I have a month to go before flowering begins. This is a outdoor grow btw. My ladies jus keep growin and I need a solution that won't impact my yield too much. I have tied down n early stages. I have supercropped after that and I still have the issue of room. ( ceiling) I have maybe 6 tops for each plant. 12 total. So I need a quick step to slow em down because I know they stretch during flower. I have 8 feet total n my grow area. My pots are 7 or 10 gallon not really sure, but about 12-18 inches above the floor.

Now in the pic the plan measured jus shy of 4 feet from soil line. Help plz I dnt know how to slow them down...

I would keep lsting..plus its not as stressful as even a supercrop or anything like that. You could wrap them mofos around the rim of a pot. Or zig zag or whatever.lol

Ok but the pic u see is a main top if I try to tie it, it will snap..the knuckle is tuff on that thing. Maybe I can rearrange plants ant put the tallest ones n the middle. ..but I dnt wAnt then shadowing the others on the other side...geez feel like am screwed. ..
The tall one is in the back if I move to the middle. It will shade out the other two behind

LST is low stress training. low stress being the key words here. Tie it a little at a time.

Dont be afraid to cut your plant back. I put a trellis over mine they were 60 inches tall:shock: had scrogg them down.

i've seen someone split the plant down the middle of the main stem and and lay down two halves of the plant only to have both trunks grow gnarly, although that was outside

there's a lesson to be learned in each batch. I vote for chopping the tall one down a bit and start your LST now. If you're working with mystery seeds you have no idea if you're gonna have a 12' sativa or a 4' indica... start scrog super early in veg on the next go around. They're looking healthy. good luck!
