No question, just a post.

Wish me luck. I'm following Kyle Kushman's pruning advice. (Chiropractic training)

As a newbie, I feel faint.

However, the best advice I've gotten here at RIU is you won't kill your plants overnight. Here's to hoping that's the truth.

I had to look this up. So Kushman Chiropractic is just regular supercropping. Supercropping is great and you can do it any time but I like it especially during the stretch phase. Just top your plants a few times and aim to fill out your footprint with primary bud sites, then supercrop them as they stretch to maintain an even canopy. You can do this with or without a scrog and you can do it to every single branch if you want. Have some tape handy in case you break a branch off or really damage one. Using a toothpick for a brace and wrapping tape around it and the break can save most broken branches. I actually have been supercropping all my branches for the last couple of days before they start flowering hard. Good luck!

My 2 girls are 18/6, and have quite the stretch. (I think) its only my 1st indoor grow. Planning on a 12/12 flip next week. So with every grow, I'm sure I'll learn something new, and how these mystery girls act. Mystery = two different rando gifted plants. :roll:

If they seem to be stretched now just wait until a week after flipping to 12/12 for the real stretch to begin.

You'll be surprised how resilient your plants will be. Snap, twist, bend, and they just come back. They want to grow up. Apical dominance. This and heading and tying down with hop clips enables me to keep plants relativity short.
