One plant much taller than others

I have one tall Sativa and several much shorter indicas under a light. I need ideas and pics on how to train the long lanky Sativa.

Tie them down then put a net over them, you can then keep the canopy level and evenly lit.

3x 3ltr pots and 2x 10ltr pots in the tent.
Best of luck with your grow!

Hey, if it works it works. I just got pretty bad bud rot once and have been paranoid ever since.
I keep a constant airflo through the tent, the fan/relay switches between cooling speed and idling speed, I've also a dehumidifier set to come on at anything over 55%
I'm sure everyone's tent/room is work in progress just like mine.

I've recently bought a 2nd variac so I can control both cooling and idle speed, I previously used 3 taps from my variac live rail for the idle speeds.

I have done the net scrog before when growing the same strain or different strains with similar heights. I have a miss-match of already tall Sativa in a 3 gal and some indicas in 1 gallon along with a few slow growing indicas in 3 gal. The sativas grow waaaaay too fast/tall for the indicas and so I was thinking of trying to train the taller sativas while letting the indicas a chance to catch up. These plants were started at different times too. I was completely unorganized and just threw it together

If I'm doing a seed run and mixing strains I'll generally start the taller strains 2-3 weeks before the shorter ones. I tend to either scrog or super crop in that case.

Try googling supercrop, scrog (screen of green), LST (low stress training), topping, FIM (f*** I missed) and SoG (Sea of Green). I think ILGM and Royal Queen Seeds both have great articles with pictures and guides on all those methods. You can implement one or two or all several of those methods to even out the canopy.

Remember it's a plant - it'll grow back.
