White Widow looks a little stretched - considering LST

I wanted some opinions on whether yield would be greater if I started tying down now, or just let them grow? I have plenty of room (in a very large closet) so I have no height restrictions. I'm just concerned with total yield...

1 month of vegging. They are about 1.5 weeks into flowering and appear to both be showing as female. Planted in 3 gal pots with Ocean Forest. BioCanna nutes (didn't nute much in veg phase though). 250W MH for veg, switched to 12/12 250W HPS for flowering.

Mary (larger one) appears a little stretched. Jane (smaller!) got a little slow start due to having her seed shell covering the first leaves for a while.

Any input on this? Mary is about 2 feet tall now. I tried bending her a bit but her stalk is pretty hard. Should I attempt the bend this late in the game or just go with it for this grow?

You can lst her, start off slow and do a little at a time . Until the stem is where you want it. That is what i had to do and it took me 2 days to get it tied all the way down to the pot.

Thanks for the input. I started to bend her today. I attached twine to the bottom to stablize, and then bent about 6" from the top down a bit. I'll increase the bend daily.

take it easy on lst a little at a time its not a young one

to much to quick you get a supercrop

also is lights to far away i cant tell from pics

your plant on left neds a booster block
to be equal in height to plant on right

you feel me

Ugh. I bent her too fast I guess and she snapped. Her stem went a full 90 degrees with a bad crimp and one side slit. I straightened her back out and tied her up... hopefully she'll recover. I'm not going to mess with her anymore.

Dwez, thanks I actually did put some large books under the smaller girl to get her up higher due to another poster's suggestion last night. I felt dumb not thinking of that prior... thanks for suggesting it

Those plants look perfect for scrogging.

Your plant will likely recover.

where it snaped at it will recover it will make a big knuckle there you could have left it with a little support and raised it to light

they heal themselvs very reselent

not to worry if you like can uses something like celephane and wrap like a bandage will be OK in about 4 or 5 days promise

good luck
