One last question.. Buds getting to tall for tent

xthrx · Jan 29, 2013

My top cola is now touching the tent and no matter how I bend it over it will still touch the top of the tent.

How will this affect it? Will it fatten out or will the new white hairs die because of no space D:

My plant hasnt even swollen up that much yet.

4 weeks into flowering. I have already tied it down and pinched it in 3 seperate places on that one small part. Sorry the picture is not as clear as it could be

So you twisted the stem and bent it over and it's still too tall? I don't understand. As I learned here, you can really be rough and the cola will survive.

Four weeks since the flip? Or four weeks from first pistil?
If from first pistil, I don't think you'll have to worry about it getting any taller, just filling out.
Can't you bend it just a little just below the bud itself if you're worried about it touching?

I have bent, and re-bent, and re-bent, fully over, and then the plant recovers and stands strong again each time. And yeah from the first pistil. S

This the advice I got and followed and it worked great:

"squeeze the stem between your thumb and two fingers until it snaps, then using your thumb roll the stem over your fingers to the desired position"

There's no way the plant is recovering that quickly if you actually hear the snap.

Oh i dont like being to abusive with her at this stage in growth, im more just squeezing and slowly bending over to desired position, creates a small knot each time. I went overboard with another one and the nugs arent developing very well anymore so I am a bit tentative to do that. I have re-bent it over again and will continue until harvest I guess
