Yes i have another thread started, forgive me if I'm spamming or whatever.

But i Would like some input on whether or not i should lollipop these, and if you've grown blue dream before , with no training , what kind of size increase did flowering cause ? assuming an 8 week flowering period i've heard these can stretch to 3x their current height. Which means i would need to flower like , tomorrow lol or they are gonna hit my lights. . .

Thoughts anyone ?

I've heard the same thing about Blue Dream... it can become a stretchy bitch... I would plan for a 3x size increase. I say this because I've had to chop off more than 1 khola in my life due to the plant hitting the lights... When I was brand new to this, I would constantly under estimate my stretch... I've since learned that I'd rather have a few inches of space leftover rather than having to chop off a main khola in week 6.
I'd put that bitch into flower and cross my fingers you didn't wait too long.

I did some searching and that seems to be the consensus : im fucked. haha. I guess i'll look into topping. better to chop some now then when i have huge buds growing like you said. shit . . .

Topping is really no big deal. You're cutting off the dominant\apical meristem, or apex of the plant, the auxin produced there is inhibiting the growth of the side or auxillary meristems. If you do this correctly and with a bit of luck multiple side shoots will take over. Instead of one large cola you will have 2-4, or more slightly smaller ones.. Best time to do this is while the plant is vegging.

You can even top the plant such that you're able to root it, so you get a clone out of it.
