Hey guys, iv been on 12/12 for a while now not really counted the days, and i notice allot of buds starting to grow all over the plant, iv seen pictures of other peoples plants on 12/12 and they have cut the bottom big leaves off, why is this? here are some pictures. its in my bedroom. and i took it out of the grow room for a little while to raise the lights higher because its getting so tall, i need to control its height more









So main questions:

Do i chop of the bigg leaves, and leave the nodes?

anyway to control its height?

any other advise alwasy welcome

i think what you are refering to is known as lollipopping.. this is where the grower removes 1/4 to 1/3 of the lower foliage by cutting the branches off at the nodes on the main stem... this is so that the plant focuses energy on growing buds at the top of the plant where the light is, instead of wasting energy trying to grow little buds that will not be worth it in the end..

this really should be done during the vegetative growth cycle.. but i have removed branches 2 weeks into flowering without any sort of problems... since you have no idea when you started 12/12, and i dont know how strong your plants genetics are, i dont want to say whether or not you would be ok doing this now.. since it will stress your plant out and being in flowering will stress it more than usual, if the genetics arent strong enough you could end up with a hermie... im sure from the look of the buds that it hasnt been that long so it would more than likely be ok.. but i will leave that up to you..

You can train the plant (tie it down), or top it, although it is not recomended in flowering. Keep your lights as close as possible w/o burning the plant. Unfortunately there are not a whole lot of options when you are into flowering to deal with this situation. The best thing to do is pre-plan your grow and in this case learn from past mistakes. Plants will typically double or even triple in size during flowering so keep this in mind when vegging and don't let them get too big. I hope this helps. Good luck my friend. BTW, she looks nice!

Thanks, well i know for sure its under a month, perhaps around 2-3 weeks tops

should be okay, the strain i have no idea the bottom leaves look slightly yellow at the tiops perhaps chop 4-6 leaves off?
and see how it is?

Well , she is big, and smellie and my first one ahahah iv got about 2 ft more height left in my grow room over this lol, + in the top of my pot i cn see some roots showing? re-pot?

+ an idea of its height, from the bottom of the plant to the tip its 47 inches tall :/

if you do remove anything remove the entire branch from where it meets the main stem... not just the leaf... and i personally wouldnt do more than maybe 4 all together on that plant...

out of curiosity how long did you veg for and what kind of light are you using??

the roots shouldnt be a big issue.. its a little late to repot.. but it still can be done and probably wouldnt be a bad idea...

ehurmm im using 4 50 w cfls and 1 big 80 w flurocent.

and it was veging for a long time i wasnt sure if it was readfy or not.. so perhaps 3 months but 2 months on my window cil 1 month in grow room, where it really grew

if you do repot be very very careful with the root system and cause as little disturbance to them as you possibly can.. the more gentle you are the less stress you will cause her and the quicker she'll start growing after the transplant...
