no you can flower any little white pre flowers or balls kicking around the 5-6th node?

get an ice lolly stick and SMALL AMOUNT of duct tape, strap it up sorta loosely (so its not choking plant) and remove in 2weeks or a week if new growth resumes!!!

good luck!

I'd have offered the same advice as lemonking. Branches are amazing at sustaining damage and pulling through like it never happened. Also, there are people that put plants straight into 12/12 when the seedling pops out of the dirt. Out of 100 or so plants that I've harvested I have only vegged 2 or 3 plants past 10 weeks, and that was only because they were mother plants used strictly for cloning.

10 weeks veg is perfect! But you raise a good point -- you don't want to be lst'ing a thick branch or down by the stem after week 5 or so. If you topped so you have four main stalks, you should tie those down soon after you top, but don't keep trying to bend them down further later on, or else the stalk will break. I did that and right down by the main nub of the plant, where I had topped it above the second node, a split opened up about a half inch. I just left it alone after that and it did fine. I guess there were plenty of roots running below all sides of the plant that it didn't matter that much.

You can tape it together a bit -- but also just don't put any more pressure on it. As you go into flowering, you're now going to want to focus on supporting the growth and colas. You're time for bending is over!

Good luck, your plant sounds like it will yield nicely!

12/12 puts them into flowering, so I'm assuming that if you're controlling 12/12 then the plants are indoors.

I grow indoors in a tent, and I found when I closed it up for the night with lights off, the humidity in the test rose astronomically. To 95% R.H. It became really obvious very quickly that as soon as the bud starting packing on size, it was a perfect grow medium for mold. I immediately bought a dehumidifier, which was expensive to me because I had paid so much for all my equipment I didn't want to be dropping $150 on a dehumidifier. But I'm really glad I did. I had spent two months growing two males, started again and got two females, but this "project" had now taken 6 months of my life with nothing to show for it if I had allowed mold to enter the picture.

Every night that dehumidifier pulled out 5 or 6 cups of water from my tent! And it ran hot, too, so I had to position it at the door and seal up around it with towels -- that way the dehumidifier vent could pull from the tent while the heat exhaust from the unit exhausted in my room. It was a pain, but totally worth it as I never had a problem with the dreaded mold.

So watching your nighttime humidity level is pretty important. Don't over nute. Don't try too much manipulation at this point. Don't cut fan leaves. That's about it if you're indoors. If you're outdoors, watch for garden pests and have a plan of action that doesn't involve spraying your grow with chemicals.

Oh, and don't pull too early or leave them going too late. Good luck!
