First grow. Growing in 3.5 Gallon buckets with soil-less Sunshine Mix. I have 3 400W HPS lights in a 4x10' area. Girls are in 2nd week of flowering after about 2 months of veg. Started from seeds.
Things seem to be going fairly well. too well, actually. Some of my girls are getting very tall -- too tall for the room. I only have about 1 foot of growing space before they hit the lights with the lights all the way on the ceiling. These plants are already over my head.
What is the best method to deal with this?? Do I "top" the top 12-18 inches and let the remaining branches continue to grow and mature? can I "bend" them down at this late stage? Flowers are already showing and I want to do what will save the most flowers but give me enough room to finish the grow successfully.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks! |
