Bud rush or bud stretch is a common and normal thing for the plants to do, since the start of time, plants panic thinking winters coming and expend all remaining nute (N) on a last minute rush before turning to seed set, growers naturally anticipate this by adding an extra 20-35% to the roof of their grow room ...lol, or even bud earlier ...lol

But why some member of 420 mag didn't tell you that is anyones guess ...?

lollipoping it would do you wonders. cut all the under growth away. itll take out a lot of the huge bush so itll be manageable to help scrog it. this wil aslo increase your buds. more of the nutes go up to the tops with out leaves taking from them. then the plant will just worry about the tops.

If i lollypop now wyle she has 3weeks left in veg and clone cuttings do u think theyll be ok
i ask because im sure wen i flip the cycle in 3 weeks they womt ne as tall as my other plants
Do u think itll be a waste of time to grow a few more even if their shorter and might not get as much light as the rest..?

It looks like you have done a nice job topping your plant but IMHO defoliate and trim any lower branches that you know the light will not reach or that will get in the way of your stronger ones in bloom. . Keep trimming as it vegs. The trellis....how high?? Are your going to actually SCROG or just use a trellis to to keep your heavy colas from falling over?

This link has good information on defoliation. ***Experienced Growers Only***

Many growers will set the smaller plant pots on something to even the canape.

Your plants look a lot better than they did when you first posted pics of them. Good job adjusting things. Guessing they didn't turn out to be autoflowers after all lol.
