Supercrop them ... pinch and bend over the highest tops every week or so ... it'll make them bush out nice and the bends will turn into knots that'll help support the buds when they get heavy ... see below

Super cropping is where it's at. Every time I use to super crop they would bounce right back and straighten out again. I started super cropping at night or right before it gets dark and they stopped doing that.

Does light pollution from neighboring porch/driveway lights and street lights negatively effect outdoor photoperiods?
I’m considering moving my indoor plants (still in veg 18/6) outdoor into a greenhouse setup to get them out of the basement to make room for some home renovations.

Good question! I hear all the time for indoor grows that light leaks need to be completely blocked otherwise there will be issues. How the fuck do people grow weed outdoors when there is light pollution everywhere?

I set my buddy up with three plants for his upper deck and there is definitely some street lights close by. Guess we shall see how they are impacted by them.

Glad your new and improved greenhouse has withstood the test of time. I have no idea how I would cope with 12 foot trees LOL. Last year was a huge learning experience for me too, as it was only my second grow and the first time I planted in the ground and had to roll with the tropical storms, thunderstorms, high winds, endless fog in Sept. and Oct. and so forth. What I ultimately learned is the plants are a whole lot tougher than I thought, or at least the imported Afghan and Pakistani strains I grew are.

I ended up with almost 1,000 seeds from selective pollination in the freezer. 10 of them actually popped while still on the plants, so I said WTH and planted them at the end of Oct. Nine made it; I gave away 6 and kept three for what has to be the most abusive ghetto inside grow ever - no dedicated lights, grow tent or any of that stuff - just sunlight in the window and a few more hours under a small light. All three of the little buggers I kept are in flower and my friend says 3 of her 6 are female as well. This one is a Hawaiian Hashbud X Balkhi -

This year's grow will be The Real Seed Company's Tirah Valley, Pakistan. I'll start with ten and see how many girls I end up with. One lesson learned from last year is that these Central Asian plants really want the ground to be warm before transplanting outdoors, so they won't go out until after Memorial Day.
