You will need more vegging under the hps.

i disagree you are actually its about time. grandpa is right you will have to veg a lot more for it to recover and get rdy for flowering, i would look at LST this far along. Good luck

i am just doing lst for the first time and my girls are loving it!!!

see im just learning the ropes dude as far as i know LST stands for Loose Saggy T-shirts haha

You can top a plant whenever wherever...as long as you leave at least one living leaf then the plant will regrow more branches and leaves whenever any are removed at any point...lol.

It looks really tall. Did it stretch?

Yup, at that size I would switch to HPS, keep vegging, top, then flower within the next 2-3 weeks.

Now you now: You really need to do some reading. There is lots here at RIU or try: Greenmanpage.com It's a start

LST - Acronym for Low-Stress Training, the technique of manipulating the branches in order to reduce plant height, expose certain branches to light, and/or distribute hormones to lower branches of the plant to encourage larger buds.

^^yep low stress training....really easy to do and will make your plant fill out so much!! I am having problems containing mine they are going so crazy!!

sorry grandpa yeah its my only plant dont even ask about the other 4 seeds i had.
jiggypop : yeah she stretched loads and still is atm its under a 40 household table light pmsl but... theres a prezzy waiting for her when she wakes up. a 600watt hps haha

but isnt stressing your plant a bad thing ??? i thought it causes males and herms

and this is the bulb im planning on putting her under View attachment 2123530View attachment 2123531View attachment 2123532

you would be able to grow a huge plant under a 600w hps, i would top it, and get a bigger pot for it as well, you will have to veg it for longer but it will be worth it

that's y it is "low" stress topping it causes a lot more its basically a method to train your plants and give them multiple main colas. You gotta read some posts on it man a lot of people swear by it! good luck bro

think its hps anywho have a look

Stressing could turn your plants male or herm... but not LST. It's really easy to do and my girlz loved it too. There are plenty of videos on youtube and other sites about LST, if you are more of a visual guy (like me)! lol I've experimented with most of the techniques out there and LST and Fimming seem to be the most effective for me!! Isn't it nice to wake up to a 600w HPS present? She'll love yoy for it!!!

yeah i will do. gonna check out that site grandpa posted 2. cheers dude gonna need all luck i can get lol its 2 in the morning now so will pick this up in the morning but thanks so much for your help guys. cheers man without people like you it would be like doing this pmsl. thanks again
