I have a bubbler Hydro set up a 6 hole bubbler. I planted 6 and 4 out of 6 were males, One giant female remains and one little shrimpy one that doesnt get any light. My problem is the Big female has outgrown her space and has hit the ceiling and gone past the light, a 400 watt HPS, I cant raise the ceiling or lower the floor so here's my question: should I trim all the growth past the light back, keep in mind she is halfway through flowering and the buds out of the light are not growing very fast compared to the ones in the light, but if I cut them down, I'm basically wasting their potential. the whole space alloted for the 6 plants I grew last time has been taken over by this agressive bitch, she drinks 2-3 gallons of water every day, or at least that is what I have to add to keep the water level where it's supposed to be.

why not try supercropping? all you got to do is slowly bend the plant over as to not break the stem. It will give you the benefit of more light to the bud, which gets you more weed in the end

GENTLY bruis the stem by going up and down with yur thumb and pointer finger.
then fold it down so its 90 degrees.
dont worry, the plant will still grow, as long as you DONT BREAK THE STEM!!
BE VERYYYY CAREFUL!!!!!!!

I've got them all bent out of the way as much as I can, either I cut them back or let them go, I'm inclined to let them growand see if they will just start bending over and Heading for the floor. I grew some outgoor plants once that had a corrogated fiberglass roof and tied them down. They ended being over 12 ft tall when I harvested them, Had to cut them in half to hang upside down in my closet.

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - LST training in detail. Why bushes are better you can do the same thing, it just may take longer since ur stem wont bend as easily

Thats interesting, and it may be useful in the future, but this plant I have is a monster and there is no room to bend or anything like this article.. I may do as one fellow said and just rub them a little and then bend them into the light, I'll have to see how this turns out.. I really started them too late into flower and they just took off. the largest one of all was a female and the other 4 out of 6 were males, there is also one scrawney female hiding under all the boss females foilage.

your not cutting them!
if you cut them they wont grow. haha
i said BRUISE IT by rubbing your thumb and pointer finger and bend it so it takes a upside down L.

iuno if its true but if the plants are touching the walls or roof, they might die?
but im not 100% sure
