Ur stalks are pretty thick so I would say around the second or third node tie her up and pull it down until u feel the stalk begin to resist and that should be fine. All of ur chutes as well can be pulled down and tied to try and create a even canopy of pure buds b/c once again u did well at lollipopping them.

Question I hope someone can answer if I were to purchase bud candy am I able to use this in a soil grow? Next question where I am now in flowering I must use 2 different types of liquid nutes (tiger bloom and big bloom of the FF trio) do I mix the nutes together or alternate feeding schedules?.... I think I screwed myself leaving these things in 1 gallon fabric pots because using a quarter of the nutrients is hard as hell to measure considering I only use 32fl oz bottles to water my plants

Bud Candy is definitely soil able. As far as i know about mixing fertilizers together..you can mix them but not in the concentrated form. You will have to have already mixed one part in water and then add the other. I would get another opinion but I am pretty sure you can mix them together and just follow a feed-water-feed-water type schedule.

Your right it is hard to measure. You can always get a beaker/syringe to measure in milliliters. A 1/4 tblsp is approx 3.5 mils.

The guy in the video is a bit harsh when supercropping his plant. Usually 2 pinches with your index and thumb should have it droop without snapping her. Just select the node, pinch real tight and then turn your hand to pinch the other 2 sides of the stem. No need to be breaking her neck or anything. No need to be scared about breaking her either, I pulled too tight on my main stem once and almost had the thread cut right through her, 4 days later that area of the stem was THICK and hard to bend.

Funny you say this because i have been lsting as often as possible and the other day snapped the main stem on my trans siberian after cussing myself out... i calmed down jumped on here and pretty much typed in what i did in the search bar and found a thread similar to my situation and one of the members said" sounds like you did an accidental supercrop" and it said to just take some tape and it would grow back together and sure enough she hasnt died yet lol :D
