Agree, that is sick, hellbillie. What kind of light did you use to flower those ladies?

Thanks! Just a 600w Ushio HiLux Grow Super HPS on a track. I did alot of research on what light is best for my lumateck digital ballast and all the numbers pointed at this german made light.

My girl's main top is starting to grow too far outside of the pot and I was wondering if it will be too late continue training it? shes 13 days into flowering. Also, if I stake some of her side branches but dont tie her main top down, will the side branches still stretch to catch up with the main top?

Will that slow down my flowering time or affect my overall yield? And by 'pinch the main stalk' youre talking about pinching off the new growth at the very top of the main cola, right? If you want you can come over here and do it for me!!!!:lol:

When I planted her I put her right in the middle of my pot, and trained her all the way to one edge of the pot then switched to 12/12. So now she's growing way out past the pot rim on the side that her main cola is on, and some of her fan leaves are getting pressed up against the walls of my grow box. I guess that's the main reason I want to tie her top down, to try to fill up the inside of the pot more and try to get her main top from being so far outside the pot.

No, not pinch it off, just take the stem, and squeeze it between your fingers until you hear/feel a slight pop.

How far down the main stalk do I need to pinch?

Sorry i need to recharge my battery, only good for one question a day...

Just kidding, hmm supercropping is subjective IMO, I usually end up cropping the plant at every node by the time I am done. I would go three or four nodes down from the top and do it there to start off.

I was thinking of lightly staking some of the branches to spread them out (not the main top). Something like this:


I dont have the stakes in now, I wanted to wait to see what yall thought before I left them in. And if I do leave them in, will those branches shoot up to reach the same height as the main top? Im 13 days into flowering

since the stretch already started i would not bend the lower branches even lower. i would have super cropped the top to even them all out. IMO i dont think they will grow up that much more. she is looking good though
