Hey guys first time grower here, growing 3 cannatonic girls in my yard. I’m in Australia, I think they will start flowering in the next week or so and need advice on tying them down so they don’t grow too tall and become noticeable to the neighbors. They are almost 4 feet tall atm. Thanks for any advice cheers

Nice plants, think you will not see the ground anymore in some weeks. Please keep us posted as I'm curious about the results. Perhaps you mentioned but which strain are you growing?

Nice I do this from a very young age and by the time they are the height of your plants they have about 10 tops. Then I will start topping or tying down each one that shows dominance. Will stop topping about 3 weeks prior to when I think they are going to start stretching but keep bending untill stretch has stopped. Goal is to have a uniformed bush. See if I can find some pictures to show how I do it.

2 years ago I tried to take progress pictures of all stages of one plant threw its veg and flower stretch to capture how you can push certain strains.

This plant went into the ground about 3 weeks later than I would of wished and was alot smaller than I usually plant
Was also a clone and if was a seedling could of been alot bigger.

Just to give you an idea of what proper training can do to a plant.

There are a bunch if other ways as well since this grow I have been doing trellis netting and building boxes around the plant. I stopped useing the wire cages because they were damaging the branches that were rubbing on them and getting infected. I feel like the trellis nets allow for the plant to blow in the breeze a little better and have enough support to keep from branches snapping.

Well just do what everyone is saying for now.
But next run you might want to top the plants a couple times it will give you a better yeild and also tie them down during veg throughout flower then your plants will prob be like 4 feet when done stretch.

Hey mate I have started noticing some issues with some leaves lately. Hoping you could point me in the right direction to fix the problem. I think I have 3 separate issues.
1. something is eating my leaves

2. I have white patches like dead spots appearing on leaves
