I have 7 plants that have been in veg for about 14 weeks and they're getting big. Ranging from 34" to 41". They're getting too tall and I can't put them in flower for a few weeks yet.

I don't want to use LST because space is getting tight as it is.

I want to top them to keep them shorter, but here's the twist. I don't want to add to the main stems. Is there anyway to top them without adding to the main stems or Colas?

+rep for any help.

Bend them mate find some suitable wait and hang from top each day increase the weight a little until the growth angle is at 45d then you will have another meter growth with no plant change

I don't want to use LST. The plants are elbow to elbow as it is and any LST is going to make that worse.

What are you asking about adding to the main stem?

I FIMmed the plants a while ago and I'm happy with the results. I should get 6 or more full size Colas per plant and I don't want to mess with that. If I top them and add to the main stems & colas, then the colas may come out undersized.

So how do I top the plants without adding to the main stems and/or colas?

not sure what you mean by "adding to the main stem". if you top them it will slow down the main stem but it will eventually start to grow two or more stems off the top of the main stem.

if you just want to slow down growth then you can reduce the light.
