What u guys think best for this situation?
Just switched to flower after 5 weeks from seed, i have tried a bit of super cropping/ fimming and lst along the way and now beginning to think that these bushes could get out of control.
theyre in a 6 pot dwc with 1200w of light and a clearance of nearly 4 foot (from top of dwc bucket to light) when lights are at max height.The tallest is just over a foot. The lights are also aircooled with glass and a fan drawing heat away ( plants seem ok at 4-5" away) The width of the room can just be made out and the camera is mounted on back wall. i have a real hard time accessing the back 2 plants so kinda hoping ill just be able to leave them to do their thing, however i dont want to sacrifice yield so want to do whats required,what do you guys think?
thanks

If you need to control their heighth then you need to tie them down mane. Any kind of restriction to prevent them growing vertically will make them bush out and get wider....you can use nearly nything. Make a makeshift screen above them with string or something. From the pic you posted it looks like they could get huge considering you just flipped them and you're seeing them out of control already....they're gonna get bigger...like 2x. Best to start on them now before those growth hormones kick in and there's branches everywhere lulz

cheers for reply, thats the problem im not sure if my height is an issue i have at least another 2 - 2.5 foot of height, i have one tied at the min to let others catch up, do you think i need to cut all undergrowth off or shall i leave this until the buds have formed to concentrate growth on these areas
thanks

What strain is that you got growing there?

3 different types, wonder woman,norther lights and ak48(all nirvana), bad idea really beacuse its a shared rez and all the plants have different preffered ppms (e.c) i.e wonder woman thrives at 1.8ec but burns ak48 real bad

I grew Nirvana Wonder Woman last round....she grew HUGE and viciously. I usually trim off my lowest branches because they're mostly popcorn....at least imo. I just focus on the main limbs and try to let them "breathe" freely. Once they start shading each other out it's just a waste of energy directed towards the part of the plant receiving the lowest light...if it doesnt produce then it isnt really worth saving because all your yield would have been directed towards the top as you know Just depends on what u feel like doing I guess....holla

Yeah that's why I just got two small trays and res' so I could grow 2 different strains with out cheating one or the other.

is that a missprint 4-5" away? if not move light up to say 18"....peace

nah mate i have them about 4-5 " away maybe closer , 2 x600w 6" air cooled hood with glass with a 6" inline purely for cooling( seperate far for extract)
@ mineralz, my wonder woman is doing the exact same, light as high as they can go and she only got 8 " till shes touching the glass 3 week into flower this sat so hoping shes gonna stop, anytime soon! as with trimming situation, iv just had to leave them, cant access the back four plants(arranged in a rectangle 2 rows of 3) just too damn bushy and big so just letting the forest do its thing!, only first attempt so i guess it was inevitable i was to encounter shit like this, deffo vegging a bit less next time , grow the same strain in shared rez and keep canopy as level as possible bacause its all over the place now :-/

That's why I moved to DWC buckets.. each get their own and I get great bud from everyone. I was trying to do that too in a Stinkbud system, didn't work well.

Plus if one plant gets a disease all of them get that same disease.

Yeah you can keep them that close if you cool them well. The thing is they won't want to grow very tall if you keep them there and will bush up more. Not a bad thing though maybe if you don't have the space.
