im not an expert but i can tell your lights up too high you got to start it low then slowly but surly bring it up with the plants growth
 
try super cropping or tieing down, does nothing bad to the plant but as bigill said if you dont start with the light the perfect distance from the plant itle reach for the sorce of light. if you dont tie it down soon then the top bud will die from light deprivation, seriously just take the stem between thum and forfinger and aply presure till you feel a kinda slight crush then move your finger round the stem and do it again, this should only crush the inside but aditional external damage is expected due to the fact its bent over and that the plant will rip the outer skin because it grows, may also need to tie it down a week later because it will try to pop up again, thats what mine did, now all i got is a normal plant with a weird mainstem. but yeah just do that its literaly your only option at this point
 
if you feel a bit hezitent to tie it down then i can see why it sounds kinda crazy but its worked for me before. you could just way up the situation and ask weather youd want a plant thats putting in alot of its energy into a bud thats giving nothing back or you could just take the top of, still its quite late to do it. this is an outdoor plant grown in britain this year from seed that i got from the greenhouse seed co, i recomend them if you want big buds with big fat leaves and nice taste

The light is a 400 watt HPS can't get much closer without heat stress and i have good venterlation.
 
iv tide the bitch down! lol the main colas bent back up tho but now under the light. i post some more pics later
 
v nice plant dude what stain?
Its been a good year for growing outdoors with every plant all my friut and veg are loving it out there.
 
its AMS from green house seed co, i recomend it for growers who like fast growth and first time outdoor grows, and the smell, my god
 
yeah man sounds good, it seems kinda strange just bending or snaping a plant but with weed plants hey just seem to adapt almost within hours, good luck hope it works

The big one (NLs) is from the company in the title^ which i later found lots of bad reviews and the other from clone a NL hybrid of some kind.
How are your outdoor plants doing?
 
oh shit well i guess it jus kinda proves that you gotta plan the strain to your spesific way of growin.
yeah they are doin so good should have alot more pictures soon, my kiwi is flowering now for some reason and the AMS is gettin its last 4 weeks in nicely, but i got a fucked up injury on my leg so until it gets better im blagin my mates to cary 8 liters of water up there fore me :), yeah i havent been up for a litle while but when i whent up last i looked at the pics on here and thought fuck me those plants have literaly tripled in size in a month, so its all good for now
 
I wouldn't order from that site again if I were you...Hopefully you get some killer smoke from the seeds they sent you, but NL is very indica dominant, short and bushy. It looks like they sent you a pretty close to pure sativa going by the pics...
Has it stopped stretching yet? It may just keep on growing throughout the whole flowering cycle, which may be a long one. It's looking nice and green and you may end up with some stuff that sends you flying! :bigjoint:

it stopped in week 5 of flowering thank fk and yep its very healthy some pistals starting to brown now in wk 6. I'l let it live and see what it smokes like.
 
Good to hear! Just don't chop it early...Has it been slow to put on actual bud? Any new pics? I'm interested because I feel like I've seen/grown most types of Indica/Hybrid buds, while these skinny-leaved sativas are something different. I've only grown one which was close to this level of sativa, and it also came from a pack of seeds where the strain description was short and bushy. It had some spicy smoke, but was tough to keep happy in a container for three months of flowering.
