Hi folks,
I'm growing a perpetual sea of green. I put a batch into flower 5 days ago and one of my girls is an overachiever and is about 6" taller than her sisters. Any tricks to keeping an even canopy on a sea of green? I'm thinking of just bending her in over since she is very pliable right now.

Hi Stonedu,
Quick question. Are these all clones from the same clone Mamma?

Bending will work, but will it crowd and shade other plants as it gets bigger? If answer is yes...then topping would be better.

maybe it just rooted faster than the others for some reason? i dunno chop it off lol if you got room you could bend it

Yes they are all clones from same mom, and yeah she just rooted really fast so had a few days jump on the rest. Is it ok to top in flower? Just seems a shame because she looks so good.

put it furthest from the light, it usually works for me but i don't know what your room is like.

topping will hurt the yield as it is already in flower but a burnt main cola is just as bad if not worse. bending would be better than cutting

Hey thanks guys, I did one of these numbers on her:

Shrunk her probably 4" and I don't think will cause much shade and didn't seem to hurt her. I've never seen a plant have such massive fan leaves so early. I know she's just a clone, but she seems to be so much different than any other cutting I've taken off this mom. I'm thinking of sticking her back in veg and using her as a mom. White Widow from Sensei seeds the wife and I bought in Amsterdam a couple years ago BTW.
