ALrite that plant is pretty tall buddy. You should of started at the top so ur branch doesnt look like its gonna snap in half at the bottom. Then you work youre way around the plant. I did it when my plant was 9'' tall, you can see how many tops i got in my sig. You also need to place a string (yarn is best) at the base of it so you dont uproot it. That thing is very tall though. lol

I would try to start from the very top, take it out to another month! I did a 6-8 week veg with lst. As long as u got the light :P

Edit: Even the stems that are in the middle of the plant, strap them down too. Up to you though!

well your plant is tall but it still looks healthy
Thanks thats good to know. Does it look too stretched?

yea I agree. How long has it been out there?
Its been there for about 50 days... i know it looks small for its age but it doesnt get A LOT of light it gets an ok amount tho especially recently

u can use that horse shoe like thing and tie the plant down some, clone i can see
It's actually not a clone, why does it look like one? Your the second person that mentioned it so just curious.

Ok I will try that, thanks. Do I leave it bent over throughout flowering and leave the strap or do i have to release it at some point. The side branching doesn't seem to be triggered but i can see the pistils coming out after discovering it was a flower. Is that normal to have the pre flowers and no side branching?

You can leave them strapped as long as they are not snapping throughout flowering. Try using just some yarn and put some hooks down in the dirt, tie it to that. She will get use to being tied down and you can eventually do some more bending (make it tighter) as the weeks pass by.

Your plant is stretching because of how you pinned it down and the fact that there isnt a lot of light coming down on it all day, but dood dont worry about it cuz its outdoors and everything stretches outdoors.
Another thing is that if you had pinned the top of the plant so that the entire girl is bent over, all of the braches nodes will produce bigger Nugs for you at the middle and bottom sections of your plant.
Stretching could lead to mean that its a male very possibly.
