My Plants Are Too Big-Need Help!!!!!

greenjambo · Nov 11, 2009

Im in need of some good advice sharpish!
I have totally miss-judged my plant sizes, and now into 3rd week of flowering and i can see they are way too tall and i cant raise the light anymore! They are around 6ft tall and im getting realy worried that im going to have to chop the main cola's off to stop them getting burned and stressing the plant. Im concerned that if i do major cutting that it might turn them hermie? Is it ok to just cut them down a bit? I dont really have the room to bend them back.

Try tying them down with sring that should help.

Don't cut anything, just tie them down, gradually in order to avoid the stem breaking. You don't need extra room, just tie one plant in the direction of it's neighbor and vice versa

I had a similar problem with plant height, check the video in this thread to see the bush it resulted in after tying down:

you cant chop your main cola - put 2 bends in main stem- 1 to point cola down to floor half way up stalk, 2 just about a inch below cola make another bend to face cola toward light worked for me , what strain is it ? are they sativa , bends in stem will repair themselves,
good luck
