lst but tie it down, they'll keep springing back up if you don't. You will need to be careful though, you may even be better off with pinch-and-bend if the branches are very rigid

Binder clips, rubber garden ties and twist-tie reel. If you're lucky, you might even find all of this at the dollar store.

The binder clip goes on the edge of the pot to serve as an anchor, then you take a 1-2" section of the rubber garden tie and bend it into an "S" shape. then cut a piece of garden twist tie about the same height as the plant, twist one end onto one side of the S hook you made.

From there, choose a point about 3-4 nodes down from the top of the plant, gently wrap the other side of the "S" hook on it and run the other end of the twist tie through the binder clip and apply tension until your plant is bent over a bit. Don't try to bend it all at once though, just be gentle.

Lst, or supercrop. If you lst be careful, your branches aren't as pliable as they were a month ago. A little at a time. Good luck, don't be scared to do it, just be smart.

Thanks my head is fried with reading about lst (well that my story) I'm a little anxious about doing it but I'll just take my time and do what I can. My husband is super impressed i got this far so im hoping to impress him more when I succeed at this

Super-crop the main stem and lst/tie down the outside branches. Good thing is you can get really close to those LED panels without burning them. I just had to super-crop the main stem on one of mine that stretched way more than I'd expected. Don't normally do it in flowering but I've done it with no harm the odd time.

She's still super bendy bro. Just be glad you've got a young plant. They don't bend so well any more after a year or so of being around.

Smaller clips need a little lip to grab, but the bigger ones have enough pressure to hold without a lip. The great thing is, if you need to transplant, just unclip them, transplant, then clip them back on the new pot. Keep pulling down the higher tops right through the flower stretch to keep an even canopy.

I've tried to use the grandmaster level tecnhique of topping seems to be bringing the lower ones up I'll go with it til Amazon can deliver me some plant ties if im lucky this might work, saw it recommended on here if not I'll try the clips and tie them down, silly question but do I tie the main stem down so top is away from light ?

Im on the same grow space as you. Yes, you lst/supercrop the tallest stem/branch by bending it about 18" away from the light. Try to get an even canopy.

Dont be afraid to do supercrop either, I know its scary the first time but mj is a resilient plant, takes only a day or two to bounce back from super cropping. I prefer supercropping than all that tying.

Thanks I followed a video on YouTube and my lower growth is definitely growing up already, she is due to get up in a half hour I'm looking forward to seeing how.she is doing, I'm like a kid at Christmas haha. I have been thinking of adding small dose pk 13/14 read lots of people saying use a little longer than just a boost of it in the middle. I read so much online I have studied more for this plant than I did my finals at university

give us a picture of her under regular light before you add anything to her. it might be your lights but she looks a little dark to her leaves. no worries though - you're going to surprise your husband and yourself with a nice harvest off her. she looks good. nice job so far. all suggestions of tying her down is what you need to do - good luck!

Hope you think it looks ok, I'm happy with her so far especially as she was a seed from a bag of my fav smoke lol

she looks really nice - you should stay with what you've been doing for the next couple of weeks. then add some PK if you think she needs it once the stretch is over.
