•4 Plants (Bagseed)
•3 Weeks Into 12/12
•2x2 Tent
Plants Have Gotten Out Of Control.
FTG So I Honestly Didn’t Know The Dangers Of Not Doing LST/Topping etc Early On In The VEG Stage.
So Other Than Topping,What Can I Do To Resolve The Situation?
Grow Space Is Limited Also,So Getting A Larger Tent Is Kind Of Out Of The Question...

Not sure super cropping is gonna help here. I would "top" all the plants straight across. Still have some stretch to go and topping should pretty much handle the rest. You'll feel like you're losing spot but you're gonna lose it anyway. You'll have a nice even canopy to finish flower and have the experience under your belt. The "stretch" has surprised many of us. Gonna be ok and they will give ya some good flower. TC

Use this method for week 3 flower, defoliate your plants remove all the big leaves from the 3rd set down. This video helped me a lot in my last grow, I had a similar problem to you. Remove a shit load of leaves strip them naked, it will also help you keep your Humidity down as there will be a lot less leaf. Don't be scared to defoliate your plants it helps keep the humidity down in the flowering stage and it also helps you get better light penetration for bigger buds. And all the leaves will grow back within 2 or 3 weeks.

You could top the centers, then bend the outer branches inward at the same level. If you're gonna do it make sure you do it enough to give your light some spread. Don't want to do this again. Hopefully this isn't too much stress.

Looks to me your canopy is now about 18" from the ceiling of the tent with 5 to7 weeks to go? Could just be the picture. On the super cropping. If you actually snapped any stems a quick wear of blue tape and they heal in about a week. TC

If you put a more powerful light in there, you're going to cook those plants, even after you supercropped them they are too close to the ceiling.

You are in week 3 flower, that should rule out monster cropping and certainly topping. You could have used a net that would equate to lst, and they would have recovered from that in 1 day.

What wattage is the GIIXER light? Actual draw not equivalent?

what size are your plants?

I think your light is your biggest issue here.

under powered lighting causes plants to stretch for more light causing bigger plants but stretched out.
