well, i dont think its a problem. but i do not know what to do! i have a female Skunk plant that is a tall lanky bitch! shes about 5ft tall and growing daily. she is only 2 weeks into flower. the buds are wimpy at best all the other plants that have started flower at the same time as her are doing much better and are developing superbly. should i chop her and make tea, i tried tying a couple branches to the side, but it didnt do much justice. im debating chopping her down because i do not think here buds will be as superior as her growth. or will they be?? the hood is already quit high, as the other plants are way less then here as they are all half there size. even the tallest one next to her is half the size, and even that plant is twice the size of the rest. its rather shitty! what can i do about this monster growth? since the buds are not real full can i make clones out of the tops and chop her back a few? will it double up on the tops? please help me!!!

pull her branches up and tie them so they are closer to the stem. that will make for efficiency closer light absorption. by doing this you will get more light penetration thus you'll be getting much denser nugs too.

First thing you should do if possible is boost the other plants up to the same height so they are equally far from the light(which should be pretty close). The last thing you want to do is starve the other plants of light and produce much worse than they should.

it would be impossible to boost the other plants to 5ft. these heights are only known for growth outdoors. my other plants are never going to get 5ft. maybe at the last day of flower, day before harvest, if im lucky, they might be. but at this rate, it will be another 5-6 ft in growth before the end of flower?! i tried pulling the branches to the side and down, that helped a little. but the buds on her are weak and do not look like they will be very promising. im debating taking here and throwing her back into veg and turning her into a mother. ive taken cuttings off her already. but we will see the results of that next week. i could stack the other plants on crates or sum shit and try to even the canopy. i have a 1000w HPS in a 4x4x7 tent. a little overkill for my first grow, but whatever. i like extreme results, so i went for extreme measures. thanks for the advise, but im still kinda torn on what to do.

It's kind of late now but did you top your plants?
Next time top your plants and if you have another one that's extra tall top it twice!
