Help me Decide how to handle this monster OG

henryy · Apr 28, 2013

My tent is 2x2x5'3 my problems are very obvious and I'm I am hoping someone can help me decide what to do.
Due to high temps I have been putting off flowering, but I finally got a new a/c unit for it so I am ready to switch to my flower cycle.

I want to either LST and/or top or fim or supercrop by tomorrow.
*Note it was LST'd but a few weeks back i untied it all
*My lighting is a 400w cooltube, I don't mind letting the plant get close to almost touch

Thank you in advance for your opinion and suggestions, my mind is pretty open.

(Sorry for the shitty camera quality.)

Also if anyone has any idea what yield range i should be expecting.. :weed:

Supercrop and lst.

cut it in to clones and put the lot on in small pots to flower as soon as they take root you will get alot more yield that way,because i dont see how you can flower it in that tent it will stretch to much just my 2 cents best of luck mate.

If your bend on using this plant to flower I would use wiring to pull the high/long branches all the way down to get near the same height as the small plant (perhaps a bit higher)
This way it has the ability to spread over more surface making room for more bud production and you can bring your light down quite a bit and increase again as the new growth rises.
(2nd plant will benefit too)

Perhaps it will take two or three days of heavily bending before its that low, but once at the desired height I would wait about a week more or so till the leaf structure has adapted (growing towards the light)

Yield, no idea, depands on what you do with the plant I supose.

Nice plant, that's all I know about that.

I am taking your advice starting to bend it down. Do you think think I should top it? I have never topped it, I have super cropped it buts it still growing at a decent rate, I am dropping my light cycle from 24/0 to 18/6 as well.

Oh btw that small one in there is one of two in there, those two we're not feminised seeds, so they might be both males with my luck.

Ill try to update with pictures for you guys to see

I wouldn't top it now. I'd just bend it down to the ground, pull every branch down vertically as the other poster said so when you flip and it stretches you've got room. Great looking plant though man!

Nice, be gentle with her hehe

Keep in mind, when you enter the flower phase, it will grow and stretch for a week or two more.
I've been able to supress some level of stretching by keeping the temperature difference between lights off / lights on as small as possible.
But with the shape it will get, a bit of stretching might not be bad if it stimulates the side branch growth.

Good luck

Tough to tell how tall they actually are, but if I were in your shoes.. I'd toss a screen over them and scrog em'. I'd also switch to 12/12 the same day the screen is added. That way you can train any remaining stretch they have before they actually start flowering.

Take note that going to a 18/6 from a 24/0 will induce expedited vertical growth... I'd recommend staying 24/0 until you go to 12/12.
