Trust me. They are gonna be huge. You should start training them now. If you start too late the stems are liable to crack and split. I seen a guy lose 1 pound of potential off of a 2 pound Jack Herer plant because it split in half.

Top that bitch
. I did some minor LST on my girl about a month ago. I like the feeling of such control of my girl. I have not yet seen LST on a larger scale although the ideas are flourishing in my mind right now. You could for sure benefit by training branches outwards instead of up. Have you read up on LST much. Someone suggested to me when insisted that height hand stealth was a concern of my girl. I was much more concerned than you even. Well I forgot who it was but they suggested supercropping. I read up on it and tried it, although I no longer have my girl. For an unrelated reason. I am not as familiar with supercropping as much as LST. But from what I understand, supercropping would be what you need on that scale of size. But yea, if they stay healthy which I bet they do they are gonna be 7 feet by the time they flower! IMO ...

Maybe you could even consider supercropping a few, just LST a few, then do nothing to a few and you would have the perfect experiment I am subbed up bro!

I started these in April from seed back 2012 and I had to keep supercropping(even into flowering stretch period) to keep them below my fence line. Just imagine yours. Mine were half the size of yours on this date that year. I could picture it now. You're going to be harvesting way more than expected.
P.S. Teenagers look for weed. When I was a teen if I could smell pot growing I would always be nosy and look for it at night just to see how much they were growing and how big the plants were. One day I stumbled up an apartment patio grow with 7 foot plants. They must have been strapped up to do that crazy shit in an apartment complex right off of an alley lol.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the feed back I'll probably top her a few times and if that's doesn help I'm pretty familiar with lst I experimented a little last year with fim top lst and a little on the super cropping. I was really hoping I wouldn have to top her Cuz j love the natural way they grow but I gotta protect it at the same time.

What you mean harvesting more then expected lol

You are going to be having way bigger plants than you expected. Which means more bud. You are in for a real treat if you can keep them below the fence line. If not you can try adding some lattice or bamboo fencing to the top of the fence.

I split my main stem last season taped it up but makes me wonder wether this shock to it turned it hermie after starting as female?

That is very possible. That is a major wound to heal. After all, there is only one main stem coming out of the soil. I have split my main stock on my most vigorous beasty plant........He had balls though, so he was getting chopped anyways lol.

yeah I wondered about this fresno as my area for the sativa was a gd spot split the main stem down the middle 5 inches and deep to so as it was just starting to flower I thought maybe that's what caused it......never tying down at night again just for stealth reasons lol I tied it then tripped over the string lol funny shit gotta laugh

Took a few shoots from the bottom to open the bottom up for air flow and to keep shoots from sagging to the ground with all the weight.

Yeah all is good though. Still ended up with a good amount of seedlings. I like the cute lil wind spinner. Lol Only jk. I have a bunch in my front yard. My kid loves to fuck with them. Tying your bitches down should work well if done correctly. You have decent spacing so you could get them to really bush out. Make sure you buy some trellis nettings and support posts.......I have a feeling you're gonna need em
