Big bud height issues

Hi, im growing 10 big bud and they are 17 days into flowering, but they are that big now the tops are getting burnt slightly by the light 600w, ive put the boost in and im enquiring if i can speed up the flowering cos there just to big now and dont want to ruin it

got photos lad?lift tha lights?? afta doin it a few time's with diffrnt strains, ya notice some strains will take 6 week's
othas 8-10ish....is prob 1 of the ways too beat that old kunundrum!!!!! keep a diary,count tha days it took
then try too beat it!!!! An keep on try to improve it.....i rekon!!!!

Thes best thing u can do, is tie back the branches, by this I mean pull them down like in LST, this will also redirect the growth hormone to the lower branches, making them grow bigger. U want. To keep her tied down till about the 5th week, this is when most strains stop there stretching, there is no way to "speed" up the process of flowering, tie it down, bend. The branches as much as they will allow with out stress of snapping them, good luck, and pics would get u more responses. And how many days did u vegg for? Ur plant will normally double if not more once u go from vegg to flower, always keep that in mind, especially a. True Sativa

Thanks, ive moved the lamp to the side, should help, no way of raising the lamp as its in a tent, will get pics asap

Ive vegged them for approx 5 weeks, this is my first time

If you want and can, you could bend the tallest ones over sideways and tie them down, its basically LST but at a later stage. I do it when my tops get to close to the light. You'd be surprised how quick the tops start turning back towards the light and growing up again.

looks well for 5 weeks, i have had my big bud x white widow under veg for 8 weeks and they not that big, if they were tho, i would have flipped them ages ago!

No, he vegged for 5, flowering for almost 3, u can mos. Def pull down the tall branches, they look perfect for it. And ur mos def going to have. To do it, or risk burning. Most of ur colas. Just get some string, I love kite string, and start at the highest part of the branch tip, and pull it down, this will also help get more light penatration to the bottom, my advice, do something quick, like today, b4 u burn the best parts of the plant

Hi, i think ive got a male, any advice would be great, here's some photos, 19 days into flower

Eeewww balls! Get rid of them! He's gonna rape your women!

if your male has sex with your females essentially you are FUCKED!! do not let them have sex!! take the males out!! i just had to chop down 5 plants

keep it!! just not in ya room!! let'm rape one branch lata on...so too speak
you'd end-up with a few fuk'n awsome seed's!! they all look worthy strain's for...

tie the things down like every1's said ay but 2!! put ya light bak closer over the top of the thing's!!
just keep ya crowns 12 or so + inches from ya crowns
ALSO you'll notice at about the 4-5th week every thing will more start Sweeling , rather than growing.
p.s for first grow n only 5weeks veg ya doin fark'n good i rekon!! looks on-par for 3rd wk of bloom tooo.....

12+inch's from ya *light*

I supercrop through week four without problems.

I also use a six hundred hps. .I let em Veg too long and i had to bend and tie the main cola down..its no big deal just put a screw in the side of the bucket put a string from the cola to the screw and gently.pull it.down day by day...older plants stems tend snap rather than bend so be careful..

(1) Get rid of the effing male ASAP. I had to do this a few weeks ago, upsetting, but just do it.

(2) Get some wire hangers, untwist them, put a bend on one end and use the bendy part on the other. Loop the bendy part around the top of the plant mybe 6 inches from the top and GENTLY bend her over. You want the bent over part to be horizontal or nearly so. Use the other end to hook it around the lip of your grow pot - if no lip then just drill a hole in the edge. If too much hanger than clip off the excess and rebend. Do this to as many plants as you need to. Try to get the canopy an even height when they are all bent over. NOW put your light back over the top of the girls.
