Hello, I recently bought this clone on the 17th and now I'm not to sure what to do next. I want to let it grow but I also want to train it and start making those branches long. My main question is should I just LST or defoliate and let it grow, the problem I'm having is the leaves seem to be growing bigger and faster that the nodes. Im just wondering if I should take off a couple or just train it and let it bush and do my best and keep doing LST as the branches get longer? (Also I think it's showing its gender! It's a lady!) Another quick question, the tops of the leaf stems are turning purple should I worry about it or no?
Unsure what to do?
How much bigger do you think, right now it's in a 5 gallon but the next I have is 7 but it's also only been in the 5 gallon for a week and a half cause the dispensary had them growing in little cups but it just filled the cup out when I checked it after I got home
I have one at the bottom pulling in air and one at the top pushing the hot air down and around, but the thing is I got it from the shop that skinny, it's definitely grown a little since I got it, bought it on the April 17th, but at the shop they didn't have fans blowing on them. It's also a clone though.

That is actually prolly 2-3 gallons "5 gal " equivalent. If you just transplanted to that, wait a week or two. Get a big ass one like "15-25 gallon" which is like 7-15 gallons really and then wait a week or two longer then flip. The extra soil will make the grow very easy for you!
What tent size, light, and soil are you using? And what strain is this cutting?

Thank you so much I will have to get the pots right away
Yeah, I got it about 18" away but again the problem the dispensary had them already stretched, all the plants they had we're all about a foot tall with like 8 nodes but a couple inches between each node.

If you have another small fan that you can rig to blow some air at her it will help to thicken her up.
I concur she could use bigger shoes but you said it was a week or so since you out her in the new pot. Wait atleast a week before switching to a new pot as not to over stress. Also prep your new pot for LST befor use.
Closer light would also help alot more then a fan as long as it's not to hot.

Supercrop it , Veg it out so lowers and mids go vertical ... THEN LST it.
Yes it has also began to sex too.

The tent size is a little small but I'm only growing one plant rn, it's a 2.5ft-2.5ft-6.5ft, I am using FoxFarms Ocean Forest Soil, and the strain is Banana Split

even if you “ flipped “ now it would get double to triple its height and you will have a ceiling height issue.
Strain has shown long nodes and will grow a lanky type structure , so training should be priority.
Also DO NOT STRIP ANY LEAF.
Thank you, about what node should I supercrop it? There is about 10 but should I supercrop more towards the top so the mids and lowers grow?
Also do you think I should put it in a bigger pot and then supercrop it? Or supercrop it now and then in a couple weeks to transfer it?

It will take longer to recover from the super cropping then a transfer to a bigger pot.
Personally I would transfer to a bigger pot then super crop.
top, transfer,recover.......,super crop with with lst till the end of the stretch period, about 3 weeks into flower or so ......only defoliate if absolutely necessary. seems you shouldn't have too though.
