Hey everyone, I got one question, Im in week three of flower and my plant is about 2 feet tall. I grow in a closet and i installed a bar which i hang my top lights from. But the plant is getting pretty close too the top. I wanted to know if its too late to try to tie it down or bend it or something. I really dont want to crawl back in there and move that damn bar up higher. Its hot and a tight fit for me in my closet! Any opinions will be appreciated!!!! Thanks guys

if you aren't too worried about your final yield, try super cropping by cutting off the main stem between any two lower bud at about the same level of the next two main branches.(making the top of the plant even with the length of the next two main branches) then tie the lowest branches to train them to grow out before growing up. the plant with produce hormones in all the top buds to make them all colas. it is safe to tie any of the side branches at any time.

just tie it down, supercropping will stun it and not really do you any good while the tieing
down will result in light getter further into the plant and make it so it grows many main colas instead of one. lst works great and since your in flowering its the only thing you can do,any stress during flowering=bad

Dude, if you're in week 3 of flower you have 6 or 8 to go & you better raise you light bar and start practicing LST. They are going to stretch a lot more before its done.
