CKS Auto Northern Lights LED Indoor Hempy

I've got the new seedlings in the garage cabinet while the other grow finishes up. I made hempy buckets out of five gallon buckets that I cut down to about 8" since I have to keep things as short as possible in my space. Mostly perlite but I did add about one red Solo cup worth of dirt to help get the seedlings going. I planted three.

Plants are doing fine. They seemed to jump when they got their first dose of fertilizer. I didn't check them for a couple days and they had doubled in size before I knew it. I planned to LST them to keep them short but I waited too long. Did it last night and ended up damaging the stem on the tallest plant trying to bend it too far. Looks like it will heal hopefully but I'm worried about them fitting in my short space now.

Super crop them. Take you're thum and pointer finger and squeeze the syem of the main cola or any tall ones till its mushy. Dont break them off. If you do tape them. Theyll bend over and solves youre problem plus the other colas will get better light.
