I know this is pretty general but how long do you say an indica dominant plant usually stretches in the beginning of flowering, first 2 weeks? First week? Just wondering how much more stretching my babies going to do, It's been a week and 2 days and ive only got about a foot and a half of growing room left. Hoping I won't have to tie her down or something more severe. Will post pics in the morning when lights turn back on!

Hmm, If they are a true Indica. Not much stretch left. If they are an Indica dominate cross. Maybe a bit more then a pure Indica strain.....

How about you super crop them!

On the main cola, down about 1-2 inch's below the tops of the secondary branching. GENTLY, pinch the stem with your fingernails, until the stem begins to collapse together (with out breaking) and bend it over 90-100 deg and let it finish flowering this way. Instead of forming one long tall cola made up of multiple node site cola's. The cola's will turn to the light and form LARGER independent "main cola" style cola's.

This will also INCREASE your yield!!!!

Good Luck T

Thanks man! Thats a good idea, ive already lst'd her and topped her once. I've got 3 main colas could I super crop each of them? Also I've heard of this method just didnt think I could do it while they were flowering, it wont hurt her?
