I have a problem with height...the kiddos are now taller than me and im about 2 weeks into flowering...I was told to go ahead and top the tallest stalks or manipulate the branches to grow sideways so the bottom branches can also share some light penetration. Well im lazy(imagine that) i just cut the tops and hoping they dont stunt to long and continue flowing well...anyone have any suggestions for future similar complications or experience with toping this late into flowering because im anxious to know if im ok lol

ur plants are ok, but youre WAY past the topping stage. that needs to be done in veg. just let em finish doing what theyre doing or ull affect the yield. bloom tends to slow down groth to a crawl, so they probably wont get much bigger. if they do, send me the seeds!

it's not recommended that you top during the flowering stage, i personally have never tried it either so i wouldn't advise it. You can bend the plants easily using bread ties or any other practical item.

plants tend to at least double in size from flowering start to end.

"Rather than raise the lights the tip of the stem is gently bent at a 90 degree angle with the help of a simple twist tie. Cannabis plants are very easy to train and manipulate but it does require regular adjustments due to the plants fast growth"

Quoting mr. Seemorebuds himself from "marijuana Buds for LESS"

you can also help the bend by pinching the stem a few times before making the bend. this method is very effective when you dont want to top and your running out of vertical space.

LST them next time if it's indoor which I'm guessing it is.

I had a sativa strain growing way to tall for my normal indica I grow and they got super tall....I ended up in flowering bending/breaking every branch one way to get my light back down and more light to every top....the tops just make a sweet u turn and grow back up and you can bend the tops all even so its like a fresh start....worked well for me. On another note I cant believe you chopped your top off two weeks in flowering that could devistate your yield.....best of luck to you my friend
