hey everyone,

i currently have 5 hawaain snow 4 weeks into flowering. they are in a greenhouse and i've forced flowering by covering them with tall boxes. things seems to going well despite a real lack of sun (in the UK) and buds sites are all over the place. the only problem is, i have one that is real stretched and getting way to tall. i've had to modify the box to accommodate it once already but it keeps going upwards! can i try some lst even though it's well into flowering? if so, could i get a couple pointers? just need to know how gradually to bend it down etc.

thanks

TB

You might use twine or a stake to try to get it to ease off in a horizontal direction, just pull it a bit each day and don't stress the stalk, shall be difficult to stop the growth, may as well just divert it a bit ;) If it has a tendency to lean in a certain direction follow the same curvature as to ease it into place, then proceed yankin' 'er down here and there, you should have space in a greenhouse, I'm outdoor in Northern Italy and the weather here has been rather poor to say the least recently, another weekend of bad weather coming soon so I'm worried about the sun, you've got the same problem in the UK but at least you've got them covered! My variety finishes the 3rd week of October so I'm hoping we'll have a mild and pleasant autumn! Now I know why people who have vinyards are weather freaks.

thanks for the advice mate,

she is definitely leaning one way so i'll try slowly easing her down! my greenhouse is big but i have a lot of light coming in from a neighbours security light hence the box approach.

cheers fella
