Flowering Stage Training

Ok, so I currently am growing two plants in my closet, and although my closet is easily 6'+ the plants are starting to grow taller then the door way (since the doorway is pretty small).

My plants are growing a few inches a day ever since I put then into flowering which is great but its starting to cause a problem because I can tell in the next week (unless they stop growing so fast) that I won't be able to get into the closet to move the light up without totally pushing the plants out of the way..

Below is a link to my journal on the last page you can see the pics as of yesterday, they where 30" yesterday they are 33" today! I moved the light up another few inches to keep it off the plants..

Is there some kind of training I should be doing at this stage to keep them under control?

oh I didn't know I could supercrop in flowering, I thought I could only do it in Veg (which I did which is why my plants are so bushy)?

So your plants are ok? I might try thanks it!

Thanks.

Thanks for the info +rep by the way for you!

Anyway one more question ( I am still new ) why two weeks in? Does the plant still focus a lot of energy on growing taller/bigger for the first two weeks before it moved into focusing more energy into the buds?

I guess I was guessing that once I flipped over to flowering that the plant wouldn't grow much taler and would focus most of its energy on the buds (obviously I am wrong here)

Thanks for the info! U da man!

Once you start flowering it is rule of thumb that it will grow 2-3 times it's size ... yes alot growth occurs during flowering.. as for the super cropping it is said to do it latest 2 weeks into flower because it needs time for the healing and i don't think you would want to bend your plants like that with big buds on them!!!

If you still have height issues after super cropping(which should help alot ) i would suggest tying them down after that point...

its called the stretch it should slow down soon only lasts 1-2 wks but yea i say tie her down if she gets too tall
