question on plant stretch?

leap270

Ok well my plant have been flowering since the 12th and i am really scared that I may not have enough room in my grow tent. I vegged my plants till they were 12 inches now they are 39inches. the tops showing flowers now. I was wondering if they stop to stretch when the top start to bud. I have 6 weeks to go. may be my best bet is to tie them down. How do I do this?

They will probably grow about another foot, from when u first put them into the flowering cycle. Tieing them down is, just how it says. just bend the tops a little ,( not so they break, but just bend) and tie them down so they stay in that posistion and watch them bounce back.

You can also supercrop them and LST them. Check out the link in my signature, "LST'ing with Hardware" Lots of info on how to lower your canopy. Also supercropping has the advantage of giving you MORE BUDS when you harvest. very easy to LST the way we talk about in there. You have to try it, it is such fun! I partially harvested one plant last night and it still has about 2/3 more buds that need to ripen some more inside the plant. I don't have the pics up yet, hopefully later today as I have to work soon.

i think i may just LST them. I dont know if super cropping while flower is a good idea. I did however supercropped when they were vegging.

I did it, and I swear I have more buds. Early in flower is the best time to do it because it lowers the canopy and below where the bend is it grows more buds. I even did it in flower, when some buds underneath get no light, and the top buds keep going, bigger. There is a vid on it somewhere. I will try and find it to show you. Sentra did it as well. And pappy has as well. It works well.
