I bought some Blackjack plants from some guy thats growing under cfls. As you can see the plants obviously were not getting enough light and therefore have long nodes, weak stems and few leaves. I now have them in my grow tent under my 400 HID. I was wondering what is the quickest way to bush these plants out and get those stems thicker? They are already 2 ft tall so as soon as i can bush them out im taken clones then gonna throw em in the flower tent.

Thanks in Advance!

i dont see any pics...but topping them would be the best way to change growth from vertical to horizontal....

thanks for the quick replys. I also found what appeared to be little buds on some of the branches so i removed those branches.

why would you pick those branches? you should have just let it be and do flowering since then.
unless you got room for 6 feet plant. good luck

if it was in flower, from what i see it hasent been for more than a couple weeks....so you can flip it back, just make sure to give it atleast 18hr light a day...
 
If they are 2 ft tall and beginning to flower you might as well let them they double and triple in size during flower you can put them on an 18/6 and maybe try some super cropping to fill them out

i want them to develop stronger stems and bush out more before i put them in flower and want to know the quickest way to do that? I think topping is prolly thebest choice.
