Im looking for some advice on this one. I Started my seeds the same time I have for the past 4 years but these gals are thriving. 2 seeds I brought back from a surf trip to Peru in January. Started the seeds on May 1st and both have been preflowering for about 3 weeks. Thank god they were both female. I do have 2 bubba kush clones but I was stoked to try and grow some peruvian. But these plants are getting too damn big. Im thinking about force flowering them in 2-3 weeks... I think they might outgrow my fence...I topped them both a few days ago. I cant tie them down cuz the branches are so thick. I hear them cracking when I bend em. So what do you fine people think? Should i force flower em or do ya think im gonna have enough space?
And is this nitrogen deficency in the last 2 pics? What should i do to correct the problem?Thanks:eyesmoke:

Dude you're already in trouble with their size. They're going to at least double in size by the time they're done flowering. You can try tying down the new growth where you topped them once they grow out some.

Well, I think I will have to throw a bag over em every night to get them started. I would like to wait a bit so i dont have to do it for a whole month...

Unless you need the product quicker, just keep cutting them down. They'll be mighty little bushes when they flower!

You could still LST slowly
I've had luck with this but using string to tie around branches that I gradually pull a little bit each day to the spot I want around their grow-pots so the branch doesn't break but slowly becomes accustomed to the low stress and grows accordingly

other than that, there are nutes such as "phosphoload" that contain molasses and which causes vertical growth to almost stop and instead have the plant focus more on denser bud production

You can definitely still LST them, even if you hear the branches crack a little, it won't kill the plant, also a good tip is to kinda squeeze and "break" the stem, also known as supercropping, that will definitely slow down vertical growth.
