haha you can expect some dank bud!! lol the one time we all actually like big girls. lookin greak Perk. has she stopped stretching? looks like she's been doing a lot in flower. when she stops, multiply that amount of time by three and should give you an idea.
to be honest, I don't know yet. She is not growing like crazy like she use to, but still stretching. I really hope that she will stop the growing cause I don't have any more space up. The only thing I could do would be to bend her and I am not to eager to do so. The buds are not formed yet. But she has plenty of flowers. We'll see how she develops. I'll keep posting pics once a week. Fingers crossed not to have any other problems with it. I am really paranoid regarding any deficits in the soil cause if that will happen it's tricky with the shops in this area. There is no proper garden store where I could find CaMg supplements or just one type of chemical for the plant. I am able to find soil, pots and Miracle Grow type of nuts. So...as I said, fingers crossed :)

just tie the top back a bit if you are running out of height, with string, poke a hole in your pot at top of rim, tie string to about a foot from top of plant at main stalk, and other end through hole and slightly pull the top ( with your hand) to on side as you tighten the string...not allot ...just enough to pull top back from lights. :)

cal/mg--use epsom salt, available at any grocery store :)

There is a video.... post # 32 in my grow video's on this topic.... but she is not showing sign of def yet so no worries bro :)

Day 71 with 22 into flowering. Plant looks great. No new issues. Sparkling dust is showing on the leaves. Soil still moist, tomorrow or day after tomorrow I will feed her. Regarding the height of the plant...she is at max I can afford. I will think now into tie/bend her somehow-not too much, but at least to gain some space and protecting her from burning, it will not be an easy job.

awesome bro :) sparking dust=trichomes... yah just do it gently and she will be fine...just need to pull top back enough so she don't touch the lights again...don't wanna burn your buds at this stage...save that for later when your smoking her! lol

quick diagram i made. just only bend a small amount and bend a small amount more each day after. untill you get desired results. also this will cause some of the side branches to think they are tops and you will end up with more colas

thank you for your advice and diagram. Considering I am in flowering now, isn't it contraindicated to do this at this stage? I mean, all I read they are saying that this method usually it's done when the plant is in vegetative stage

do you have a fan blowing on her now?
and not just you....lol
no, I don't have a fan on her. To find a fan, again I'll have problems with this city I am living in...I haven't seen fans in shops...the temp in this country is not suitable for fans...never, so my only choice would be ebay - hong kong ( 2-3 weeks of waiting)

usually it is done in vegatative stage yes, but its still the same concept. i mean if you need to bend it anyways it could benifit in this way, im not saying you should bend the plant just for that sole reason but it might be a added bonus to the solution to another issue? :)

well it will help to circulate air around buds, also to help prevent mold from forming on your buds...otherwise known as bud-rot.

yes true....but for your plant(max height).... you just want to pull top away from your lights...so that they don't touch bulbs. not at a 90* angle...more like a slight bend is all, just a bit of a curve. matt was just showing you how it is done, where to tie it to...don't have to bend her that far. lol

Day 72 with 23 in flowering. I realized that the ceiling of the wardrobe is made out of wood :)) and I've just managed to do an improvisation and hang the Y lights there so I gained a bit of space. Added today 3 liters of water. The plant otherwise looks well, leaves are showing no signs of any deficit. Couple of gnats there(not too many), but they are my neighbors since the beginning...

i think i should mist my plants more but not with fert, just plain water to keep humidity levels up, they are at like 20% right now
