Hey Fellers, please look at this question below “Hey guys, first time to grower and i left my plants in veg stage to long. They’re nearly reaching the top of my tent and i don’t have but a foot left in the grow room. I know it’s a fun time panic, I have heard about scorgging and bending the plants, i am worried about breaking a steam on bending (ive never grown before), but i obliviously need to make someadjustments. Would love to get everyones advice/instructional video or feed back for the situation, I’ve grown my girls for three months and i don’t want to have to start over… or buy a house with higher ceilings. Thanks in advance and feel free to share this to anyone” @blackthumbbetty @Countryboyjvd1971 @FloridaSon @Oldstoner ---

@Swiss They can grow above the lights and you can tie them down. I had to criss-cross my banana kush as it grew 3x the size in flower. Double the size in flower is normal, so you should be in for a wild ride. Cut any fans that block the light. Could benefit from an led light bar as well. ---

Supercropping down to a screen and tying her down will allow you the verticle space you need. If she breaks, apply raw honey and secure with a plant tape or something. ---

Nice to see you again @Swiss ! I’m about to be gone again, but wanted you to know I miss you along with many others. Thanks for the tag. I’m glad I was here to see it. ---

As long as you aren’t too far into flower, supercropping gives you great options. I wouldn’t do it after the third week of switching, but others have gone a little later. I try to avoid stress during flower so LST is the only way to go at that point. ---

pics under ‘white’ light might help, more info would definitely help.! r the plants still in veg.? if in flower, when did u flip to 12/12.? is your light sufficient.? is your light low enough to minimize the stretching.? the more info and pics of the grow u give the better advice u can get.!! ---
