Way too much fun, way too wide!!

I always knew I wanted to do this. At one point or another. Since I was 17. To prove to myself that I could go the distance, and because I knew, I knew how much fun it would be. Don't get me wrong I've done a ton of research. I'm by no means winging this. But along the way I always knew with stealth...height would be my restriction. I've gone too far ha. I had a blast mainlining, then I went nuts lst'ing...and now my plants are too wide for my tent, I'm in the second week of flower, and I have what seems like more than enough tent height to finish

One plant looks very sexy in the middle all alone. But the two don't fit at all anymore. This is after pruning a third time. The main stems (4 on each plant) are smashed into the walls pretty much lol. I didn't go for the 8 mainlined tops because of time so I stopped at 4 each.

This post is mainly just because I'm excited and happy with how everything is going; however, I'm also pissed lol will there be enough space for the buds to fill in or will I have to try and lst them back toward the middle?!? I wanted good airflow around the larger colas and now I've traded some smaller bud sites for the lovely space the main colas would have had. If I push them
Closer together they smash. If I move them apart they hit the walls. Any thoughts? If not it's cool ha just bored and gardening

Its constant adjustment hey bud!! Have you tied tieing or pinning her down? Maybe try and bring it around the pot if you know what I mean!! Check out what I did with mine, as I have the same prob seems I am steady making adjustments. Its a good thing I love it!!. I use pipe cleaners!! They are looking real nice.I even used some pencils to hold some of the bigger ones back!!

Nice man!!! Constant ha!!! Oh yeah they're heavily tied down. The problem is I'm out of width in the tent. They're stretching now and I need more vertical growth they SO bushy! Hahaha

I've seen people use cages and they weave anything that goes outside the cage back to the sides of cage(check out pics). I'm only on my second grow here myself so might not be thinking of all the right ideas , so maybe some of the pros got some ideas for ya. P.S I love your guard cat!! Nice to have someone keeping an eye on them!! I can see mine from the bed lol.

I used pencils in kinda the same way as cages, but mine are topped and bent over so its a little different for sure. If your like me it really bugs you seeing leaves touching the sides. Feels like everything is gonna be ruined lol but I've seen some big grows and those fellows has 50-100 packed in these little rooms. I guess its not without loss though. Losing one out of a couple is a lot harder than one out for 50.

Those cages would prolly be sweet if I did it from early Veg onward. But I don't think I could even get a cage around them at this point ha!
This is going to be my first grow but also last until we get a house so I'm trying for optimum quality from these two ladies. Not crazy yields but more so quality and I wanted them to all have room to flourish. They are very tied down and I can barley water them without weaving the glass through foliage and wire.
I'm going to do some serious gardening tonight. I'll assess the ties again and give them a full watering with plain water.
Going to shake up the carbon filter and wipe down the tent. I'll check the runoff and adjust the lights. Ive been letting them drop to 65 degrees at night out of convenience and the hopes of bringing out any color the genetics might hold. I know it could slow growth but they've felt with low temps the whole beginning of the Veg stage so I feel like they're fine?

I here ya bud. I am also moving into full house within next year out in the county side, be nice to get out of the city for sure!! Mine on bout week 3 of flower here now and they sprout about 1inch a day, its kinda crazy actually, My other ones never went like that.Has to move my light everyday, if not deff every2 days. I don't think I would fool with yours to much either, you are doing a great job, looks nice and healthy. I just took a few more of mine here tonight from over head and the buds forming .Planning on adding a few more lights tomorrow seems to be a dark area forming, right in the middle!! I like your cfl setup .Over the summer I am gonna put myself together something nice. Right now I have each one hooked up separate and it can be confusing.Been trying a few leds bulbs in with the mix of bulbs. Actually got them for 1.50 each 9.5w equal to 100, got some 5000 for my veg room and 2700. Been trying to see if I can notice a difference but its so hard to tell where they are mixed but I find my bud that is right next to one is actually one of the nicer looking buds. The only way to test is to do one completely with those. Prob will when I get more room. Be nice to be able to use the 9.5w as to the 23w cfls. Years ago those reg house leds were a fortune and the light sucked but the new ones seem to be just light the old lighting(light wise). I replaced every bulb in my house to led, spot lights and all..I need to get some source of carbon dioxide as well. Is that what the carbon filter is for? I smoke 15js and 35 cigs a day in the same room with them so they prob get some from that. I also make a baking soda vinegar mix and runs a little pipe in every few days but on next one I need to just buy something and not worry about it, its a lot of work doing it gehto. Here is a few pics I took tonight. Keep posting some pics of yours. Love to see her grow!!

They look good!!!!

I think for the next grow I'll for sure look into some legit 2 light cobb led setups. I'd just need more height than I have now (2x2x4 tent). Better bud density, better yield, less heat, less electricity. I'll only ever be looking to have two or one plant growing at a time as the smoke is just for me.
Also I don't think you need to start adding c02 to the grow area until you have maxed out your plants light capacity (I think?) a lot of people do add c02 though. I was speaking of the carbon filter for the smell, the fan pulls the tent air through the carbon filter and vents it outside the tent smell free. But opening the tent is a diff story hahaha. I'm going to water them tonight I'll post a couple updated pics. Temps dropped to 52 in the tent today with the house windows open ha!!! They seem fine. Might have slowed growth but I'm trying to keep the dark cycle temps in the mid to lower 60s to see if I can pull any color out of the genetics. I've read that low night temps in flowering are a main cause for color.... so we'll see. Today it got a bit cold tho lol!

There is only one plant in my pot also!! My buddy's always ask me how many are in there.

The pic with your cat is everything!!

If you release pressure on the outside Lst ties.. They will grow vertically.. Looks like you have plenty of room.. All growth from now on is going up.. lookin good!

The largest nugs will probably lean in towards the light once the branches get to tall to train down further. Let theme grow from the walls towards the middle alone then pull them back towards the walls to expose the center the to light.
