Since they are outdoor i would leave them alone. Why try to fix something if it aint broken? All the extra foliage provides the plant with much needed energy. Evolution usually gets it best from the first time. They are getting plenty of sun and the light penetration is high so you shouldn't worry. If you really want you can LST but for GODS SAKE dont use those plastic collars anymore. They are chocking your plants. The fluids are not flowing properly.
If i were you i would cut those things of the plants....carefully!
Yeah...I guess I Fff'ed up???..i split the stem while tying down some branches, and the only thing i had at the time were those zip ties.
I've seen methods of stem splitting and stem deforming. I am NOT trying to replicate those ideas, but I'm curious if this is on the same level.
I will take a hot clean blade, to cut them off tmrw.
Hey bud...Today i managed to cut the ties off, and it wasn't easy. I did a good job though, by not hurting the plant. The ties were on the girls for about month and a couple weeks. So It did grow just fine for that time, Im hoping that with the ties off,it will be exposed to mold,bugs,etc.?
First step, learn that your iPhone doesn't automatically rotate your pics for you, you have to do that manually. Other than that, looks like a nice grow. You'll really like that NyC Diesel, it's a top notch strain.
