Hey RIU, Been awhile. hope everyone is good!
Last time I was on here I was a crazy young kid, now, I have 3 here of my own... time F***in flies

I hate asking such a question I thought Id never ask, but here it goes...
I have 2 girls going outdoor, both full organic mediums and all organic line up to follow. In the past ive been able to LST anything and keep it very blossomed, but these girls I actually cant keep in control, and they are blowing out of my Second built greenhouse, because they actually took the last out of ground. and now it seems like the same is about to happen. Flowering has just kinda really took effect recently here so I dont want to stress anymore, but these girls are growing inch's by the day, no lie. I live in the center of a city and cant have Xmas trees until mid Oct, ( Its legal then..) any suggestions to try and keep it a little bit more mellow? what have you City boys done? How do I Slow them down...?

I also planted over a month into the season late, and this is still happening... a Champaign Problem..

Super cropping can help with this problem you are facing, but can cause unnecessary stress. I am a big fan of LST training, so what I suggest that works with grows that get a bit out of control is to use twine to tie down branches to stakes in the ground (or the actual pot). Do this to as may branches as possible, be carefully to not snap or damage the branches.This will prevent further developments in vertical growth and should help maintain the space in the greenhouse.However if you do this expect the plant to keep growing taller due to the stretch, but repeating the process of using twine to tie down the new developments in height of the branches ,should (from my experience it works wonders) maintain the height to a manageable amount through the flowering phase.

Hope this helps and Happy growing. :bigjoint:

I actually use all those Techniques + some. and the thing is Ive never been able to not keep them tame, These 2 girls ( Critical Mass) are being whores.... Just opening up more then Ive ever seen. no lie, Ive had to now take all the walls off my greenhouse because the top colas look like pug dogs... Im just confused, Sure I haven't grown in a couple years, but need new ideas of taming but not ruining my over all yield.

A foliar of kelp and humic acid is supposed to encourage lateral branching and tight nodes... Good problem to have. I don't like spraying buds though
