Need advice with tall plants

Hey guys, I ordered some Northern lights from mseeds.nl last July they came Germed and grew, no problems, but they are huge. I only vegged one week before 12/12. They switched around day 7 ( august 7th) from germ. Fimmed as soon as they had 2 sets of leaves tryna keep em short however here I am today with plants between 5-7 feet tall ( bout second week of showing flowers) bent and tied everywhere I have taken up to defoliation ( I know a lot of people are against this but I'm desperate) tryna keep the canopy somewhat even and get light to all parts. Anyway I'm just looking for some help training and maybe someone that has grown these seeds before because I'm fairly certain there is a haze crossed in there but idk not a pro just a passion grower.
Oh yea I use 600 hps on 3.5 x 3.5 flood table filled with lava rock. I have pics but I don't know how to put them on here with my phone.

Nobody, nothing?

Only 1 week of veg and they're ~6 ft tall? How tall were they when you went to 12/12? You must have a super-duper NL strain.

One thing you could try is gently bend the colas over until you shape them into canes or question marks ("?")

You could also pinch the stems, without breaking them, so they flip over on their sides.

A 6ft plant that's 2months old?hmmmm pics pls.....try lowering your lights and topping....or put her on her side

Switch your lights to vert growing. Have the plants surround the bulb.

Google the following:
Scrog, LST, Super Cropping

Also, I think Advanced Nutes has a mix that helps create a squatty bush. Never used any of their products though.

Sorry just re read your post.

If tying isn't working I agree with the dude above. Lay that bitch sideways somehow.

This early in flower you might get away with topping but that is a last resort deal.

Thanks much, the strain I would love to find someone who has had these seeds before maybe knows what it's crossed with. It looks like most of their strains are just other breeders seeds and then just pollinated amongst themselves most of the rest of the pictures they use for description I can find on other sites from the original breeder but their Northern Lights pic, I can't find any other Northern Lights or a cross that displays that for the description photo. As far as height going into 12/12 was somewhere around 8-12" tops. I fimmed all of them also at about 3 ft is the canopy then most plants are bent completely sideways laid across strings, really a messy looking thing. It was sposed to be bout a dozen plants in the table all fairly short was my goal, lol. If anyone can tell me how to post pics with a phone ill put them up, I have pics since the first week on, all about 7-10 days apart.

As far as vertical lighting goes I don't think it'll work my plants are so twisted and bent they would never go straight at least without knotting themselves all up. Plus I run cool tube to keep temps lower I don't think I could fit the pipes over the table right.

Ignore post #5. He's a noob cake.

I don't think so Tim..... 14 years of growing is a nooby. Granted 3/4 of it was hydro...


abscar rotate the plants for vert...

This grow is also hydro

What kind of hydro?. Single plant kits or several plants in a kit?

adding side lighting would help. Cheaper way. Cree led globes. Hang them vertical on the sides. The 2700k crees are $12.97 each at home depot. 9.5 watts. Check captainmorgans thread in led section. He gets 1 gram per watt using those. 7 zips 1 plant . 190w.

Hydro = stale Newports

Supercrop toward light. Sculpt that bitch and get some yield.

I'm runnin flood and drain feed 8x for 10 mins except for 1st and last they run 15 mins. Here's a pic of canopy(still work in progress)

Shit you do have a problem. How many more weeks in flower?

I figure bout 5-6 weeks left, if they turn out to be an 8 week plant.

Well your stretch should be about over by now. Just gotta watch out for those colas stacking up.

Yea but hope that won't be too much of an issue because they are bent sideways I don't expect huge top colas just a bunch of smaller nugs, do you think they will still get bigger colas even with them being bent over? Kinda thought being bent over the terminal buds would be be broken into smaller pieces because the flowers wouldn't stack as much.

You'd be surprised at how much they continue to grow after the stretch. Your probably right won't be massive top colas but I'm willing to bet a couple of them decide to shoot up and start stacking.

That's what happened on my green crack. Especially the buds with closest to the light. or At least a clear view.
