Hey so I have never grown before... I have 4 clones that were started outside not getting the best amount of sun. I have since moved them into where I wanted them with my 1000w MH. Finally topped them the same day i put them inside...not too sure what to expect...they have been outside for about 45 days but not very big at all so I'm running 14 hours on. Any ideas or help would be appreciated....attached are photos

I want them to Bush out a little more before I switch it to 12/12 and I was going to switch to the HPS bulb in about 2 weeks

How do I "super cropping"? I topped the three big ones last night and the fourth is half the height so I'm letting it grow a bit more...2 more weeks of veg wont hurt right?

Super crop is when you twist a youngish stem between your fingers until the fibers of the stem are loose enough to where the stem wilts, without cracking the stem. Don't super crop them too excessively so the stems can hold upright enough without support, unless you have those wire frames. The idea is to have her wilt up to 90 degrees

More veg would be good

idk how wide your light is but supercropping would help if your goal is an even canopy. looks like you have a wide grow space if your light is wide enough

It's a 20 inch hood 1000w MH in it currently...more worried they aren't very bushy...they seem thin to me but I've only ever just seen bud ready to smoke

That's pretty strong. I'd research the light distance for that type of light to see if super cropping is a feasible 4 plant level canopy solution for yourself

Depending... you may just want to finish this grow out

How high should the light hang from the ground? 6'6" ceiling.. using 5 gal buckets and ballast is set at 750w not the 1000w
