How much does HiNDU KUSH stretch?

Hi!

Couldn't find any clear answers by searching, so here's a question for you guys with experience of growing Hindu Kush (I have Sensi's but info on other varieties also might help..) :

How much does it stretch during flower (if topped and LST..)? I have a smallish plant (from seed, now around 5 weeks old..) that I topped once, and now with all the main branches (6 of them) tied down so they are at exactly the same height and equally spaced. Trimmed away lower branches that didn't seem to catch up, and also the biggest fan leaves..

-Will the tops shoot in height much from what they are when I swith to flowering? The growing conditions (esl lights, organic soil&nutes, fresh air, temp 78-82..) otherwise seem good enough, the plant is healthy & grows quite fast.

Wondering if I should still let it grow bigger before switching, because there is limited vertical space in my cabinet. I can only raise the lamp setup 3 inches more if I want to keep the middle fullspectrum light, which I do. If it would stretch much more than expected, then I must take that light out (or place it in an upper corner..) and then there will be plenty of vertical space.. But as I said, I'd rather keep that light where it is for max thc/cbd development.

For measure, the grow-sack is 15 inches across.

-Thanks!

i have grown many a hindu an this is a very potent an very hardy strain. it has little to no light stretch with my experience ( 4 grows) . BUT you NEED to have a P.P.M(pest preventive maintenance.)as hindu is very weak when it comes to spider mites. Just LOOK closely. Happy growing

I wouldn't top these. Flower at 15 inches and she'll end up around 36-42 inches.

Ok, thanks guys! I'll start turning her slowly (1h per day..) towards 11/13 now and see how that goes..

I have a crop of the HK going through now in organic soil (3rd crop of this strain) -for me, they easily doubled in vertical size when flowered with 2x 1000 watt HPS. I made the mistake and let them grow to about 2ft+ in veg and now wishing I had not. They are some of the tallest Kush's I have worked with hands down - damn near chin level now and definitely needing to be supported with stakes. I have not attempted to crop them.

Great end product!

-well, your setup was of course a "little" bigger than mine.. but good to hear the hindu kush does stretch a fair amount in flower.
