ive topped each grow once.
i put these into flower around 22-24" and theyve done nothing but stretch lol

i was thinking of instead of just topping once, i would top twice, and try to mainline all 15 plants for a first attempt, what do you guys think?


thanks !
 
Why don't you add a trellis and Scrog with that many plants you could fill the room/screen quickly with buds
just seems like it would be a pain in the ass lol, its hard enough watering as it is with my 2L jug
i like the look of the mainlining, it looks like i would be able to grow alot more mains, im really interested in trying it, using the steel pins i bought would be really simple

Yes but going from a 7 week veg mainline g getting new growth etc could take 10 11 weeks maybe more maybe a lil less but it always took me more then my estimated times. When you say the metal stakes above are you wanting to just tie branches down etc if so I think you have your training.methods backwards

i stated above i dont care if i have to veg an extra week or two, it takes me about 6.5 weeks now with topping once, so topping an extra time will add on a week or two, im fine with that.

whats backwards about what i said lol.

im going to top my next ones, and train them down with the steel stakes? and top them again? lol

Instead of.topping.just tie them.down and.keep tieon the new shoot.down and get 20 30 tops per plant with out cutting

i see what your saying, ive seen topics of that too.. tie down the whole main stem, and then new ones come up from the sides?
to me it just seems like this would make it get out of hand and fill half the room with one plant?
thx for feedback bro
 
You need to tie down while younger as stems are more ply able and won't break when bending
i understand, im just thinking of using stakes now to get these big guys spread out a little bit, since im on week 2 of flower it would help the buds grow a bit on the mains stems and the middle ?
 
flower day 10
watered at 1200 ppm, hopefully it wasnt too much, 900 was fine last time

day 16 of flower, coming along nicely so far.
i put a heater with a thermostat on it in the room to help the night time temps, they were dropping to around 64 or so, and its -7 outside, now i checked night time temp and it was 73, so perfect from day temps at 84
