Is my plant to bushy or is there no such thing

Just wanting some advice, is this plant too bushy? I have been using lst to create more growth but don’t know if it’s too bushy or it’s doing well

If you can take some pics in natural light but from what you have there is beautiful is it a autoflower or photoperiod plant

To me I believe u need to raise the light a bit to promote some stretch. It is super tight looking lol. Not a bad thing but can also cause issues if not enough air flow in there. Can try and use string and binder clips and pull some branches towards the outer edges of the pot to open up the middle. If a huge leaf covering future bud site get rid of it to allow that spot the light.

No way to say for sure. Some grow small and fat and some tall and skinny. There is a lot that can change all of that, environmental, lights, etc…

They look great! Keep’em growin! Good luck!:+1:t2::v::sunglasses:

U want to do some lst training to open her up abit so the light can to get the other bud sites to make more bud sites

It’s a photo period

Looks fine, I would remove a couple of the upper fan leaves, or at least tuck them below the branch tips. This will open up the inside to more light. :v:

Needs some LST. Me personally I love using this trainer. You could easily replicate it yourself with a 3d printer and they are easy to use and come in 2 sizes

She looks healthy , my frist thought Raise the light a bit node’s very close. As @Mark0427 mentioned. :+1::v:

Agree​:point_up_2:. Raise your light some to help node spacing :love_you_gesture:

Kinda looks like you have more blue in the light than red(?). Hard to tell… If you are using a light with the ‘veg/flower’ switches, flip on the flower switch as well. The red will help with the elongation of the nodal spacing. Honestly, all I see is a plant that has a lot of growing to do. She should stretch a lot in late veg, early flower. Personally, I would lollypop her, after she develops a little more. The lower areas will decline after a while and will not give you much bud anyway.

I’ve raised the light from 30 inches to 40 inches should that be enough to promote the plant to stretch?

What kind of light is it. That will help alot also lol.

You might consider tying down a couple of the branches to let light into the middle of the plant. Sounds like your light is high enough now. I am finishing up some bushy Gelatos and the problem was later during bloom. The plant might struggle to “let down” some of the mid-level branches - stunts there growth unless you help unwind them. :handshake:

I’ve been using some LST clips bending down as many of the branches as possible to leave the middle exposed. This is my 1st indoor grow using lst aswell so it’s all a learning curve for me

If its a photoperiod id say absolutely go for a trim indica dominant plants can use a good defoliation due to such fat wide leaflets blocking a bunch of other growth id recommend removing the biggest fan leafs 1st and opening her up its also going to promote better airflow as long as its a photo you have plenty of time to bounce back from error if its a auto I tend not to take leafs but if its as crazy and as dense as your plant id still pluck a select few to open up either way mt biggest thing is youl never know what works best for you until tried

If it were my plant I would be mindful of taking anything away until it grew out a bit. Once it has:

A) I would train (sounds like you are) by gently bending branches outward. Believe it or not, this can be done simply by lightly bending the branches every day. Ties and stakes will also do the job, of course.

B) I would trim some of the undergrowth, particularly, larger, inward growing leaves. A few leaves per day until you get there. Fan leaves on the major bud sites? Leave alone for now.

C) Be patient, as the lady should stretch during early flower, opening up the tops to more light. If you have trained well, each top should get sufficient light.
