Ive never seen a plant too tall, unless it was stretched.
You can always do a LST and tie her down. Your will probably get a better yeild doing that.
Thats what i would suggest if shes getting a little top heavy for the stalk.

how much taller will a plant get when they start flowering? will it get 1 foot taller or 10 feet taller or stay the same size?

the reason is it is a foot from the top of my fence, and don't want anyone to see it

you said it will tripple in size , its 4.5 foot tall right now. That means it will be 12-13 foot tall?

This would wholly depend on the genetics. Sativa doms grow exponentially during their first couple weeks of 12/12. Indicas get about 50% taller generally.

You will just have to tie it down. It depends as much on how big a hole you dug as genetics. If you gave it a ton of root space she will get huge if you only gave it 5 gallons of space it won't get that much bigger probably 7' if it's an indica more if it's a sativa. Also how well you feed.

Yeah, the best solution : put a strong anchor in the ground and some kind of rope (not too thin, mustn't cut the plants). Tie the rope around the top of your plant (not too tight) and to the anchor on the ground. Plants are pretty strong and flexible and you will get more flowering sites by doing so and a very strong stalk.

Good luck, keep us posted.

how do i tell if it is a indica or if it's a sativa?

sativas are generally taller and more streched with skinny long fan leaves, indicas are shorter and bushier with fat fan leaves

MARIJEWANA, they just started flowering i was going to move them to another spot but i have a 42watt floresent barn light about 30 feet away. it would be in the radius of the light, do you think it will change the flowering of the plant?
