top it above a node that will allow the 2 side branches to grow up into 2 tops. you may want to go a couple nodes down to allow for more grow since you have 8 weeks for flower and it will grow more. if you don't want to cut, pinch and bend. it will heal faster then you think
How hard should i pinch and bend? I did that and in two days the plant was touching the light lol. Its sitting on about 3-4 books thats the only vertical room i have left. It seems everyday im taking a book away and i still have 6 weeks :X
Will this thing NOT stop growing vert during flowering? im in my 2nd week about to start my 3rd and pistols are everywhere! this plant is so promising i dont want to run out of room

Hi,
I just looked at your last pic and it looks like you haven't topped it yet.
Your plant will grow another 2 to 3 feet as it is with one large cola on the top.
My opinion is to make use of the horizonal space you have and top it.
Pinch off the main growing tip at the top of the plant.
You may want to google the FIM (Fuck I missed) tec as it will give you multiple colas.
I know it looks sweet but you will gain much more at harvest.

thats a big plant
Yea, you got a good plant. If you check my journal you will see I have a similar system.
I got a question for you though. How often are you watering? I have watered twice a day for an hour. When I tried three times they started to yellow a bit so I went back to two. When the roots hit the lower container I added an air stone so I wouldn't get root rot. Now I am thinking it might have been the ph. Do you water 24/7?

I just have a pump in my drip system running 24/7. The roots take up pretty much the whole bucket so i have to add a gallon every couple days or so. I also have an airstone in the bottom giving the roots oxygen 24/7. Thats pretty much how I have my system running. Im using hydroton so the water can run continuously without suffocating the plant
