So tomorrow starts 3 weeks flower on both my White Widow and WWxAK47.
When I flipped the canopy was just poking through the net so it's done quite a bit of stretching. Everything has gone well so far with the exception of some light hanging issues, which leads me to my problem. I'm worried about headroom. At only week 2 going into week 3 of flower I can expect some more vertical growth as it progresses through its life cycle but im worried I won't have enough space between my plant and the lamp.

Just hanging the lamp I had to forego the hangars altogether (lamp support rod is run through the loops on the metal wires coming off the lamp)

Really I wanna hear that everything's fine and I'm probably not going to have to worry about burning my shit.

But at the same time If I have a genuine problem and someone has an opinion on how I can fix it I'd like to know too.

Lamp is the highest it can possibly go in this tent fyi

Perhaps someone with more supercropping experience can jump in, but look into training them by at least LST or go to the extreme and SUPERCROP!

You can pull taller branches over more and tuck under a different square, just adjust other shorter branches so they still get light. You could also tie down the branches and use your fabric pots to attach to. Either will work. You still have more room your light can raise, just have to get creative with the mounting cables, that’s what I had to do. Ended up not even using the cables the light came with and Jerry rigged my own

Looks fine good work. If you need more headroom lose the stand... I just keep my fabric pots right on the floor of my tent, and I don't get any runoff. Works fine. You're gonna need some more headroom when those plants stretch. I also ran WWxAK47 crosses on my last grow. Unfortunately the weed was meh. My AK produced small buds and same with all the plants I crossed with it. Back on the Diesel strains...

That's true with fabric pots you don't need a pot elevator? I was told it's best so you have airflow top and bottom of the pots.

The biggest issue here is that you dropped a net over them and then didn’t train them through the net, you just let them grow up through it.

I've never used one, never needed it... getting the pots up higher makes checking your plants easier, for sure, but the price you pay is headroom... but I don't think you need airflow below the pots...
