Out of Control! 3rd Week Flower

[epfsi1879]

ok so 1 of the plants is outta control. blocking the light for the other 2. i tried to move the net pot to allow for more light and found that the largest of the 3 is lopsided. i tied off the base to keep the plant groing straight but the lopsided is extreme.
if i leve her tied of this way, will the branches eventually pull themselves upright to go towards the light? what should i do?!?!
also, since the lower buds are never going to be anywhere near the completion of the tops(light penetration), can i second harvest and also, how?
thanks!!

Why not just move two smaller plants off the ground for an even canopy?

some TLC pruning might help???

I agree with farmer. some very light very careful pruning should be ok. the top that you tied down will eventually grow back towards the light. You could have 2 harvest if you really wanted but the extra stuff on bottom is going to take away from your tops.

I def. like the pruning option, but I've always read that during flower...no cutting. How do I go about cutting stuff off? What do I leave, how far up the plant do I cut? Start from top or bottom?
I've seen some videos online but none of them are really helpful.
Thanks for the help!!

Have done this before with great results. Too late to prune without serious stress.

have sorta the same problem except my kandy kush in 3rd week of 12/12 is 3ft x 3ft x over 4ft tall!

I took 9 clones from it and they are ready to flower but the original is touching all 4 sides of the tent lol

the problem is the root systems are intertwined and i cant lift the pots out of the water....

Yeah looks like you have an odd strain in with the other two( it looks rather lanky). If you top it that will cause stress. But you could drop it lower(looks like they are all on the Rubbermaid tub) to even your canopy and/or tie it off and let it grow parallel. It looks like you may have learned alot for the next grow! Also if you can add some CFL's or T5HO for the area below the top canopy.
