Way too tall

[kashan]

Hi, this is my first post here
I have a problem with my plants, basicallythey grew too tall, one of them is already almost 2 mt tall and I wanted to know if there's something i can do. I know it is too late to cut their edges as they're already flowering but is there anything at all i can do to have at least more buds in the lower half of the plant?

Another problem is that the lower part of the plants arent flowering at all or slower than the higher ones anyway, should i cut off leaves to make space for sunlight? If so, which ones should i cut first, is there something i need to be particularly careful about?

I'm not that experienced as you can tell and any help would be appreciated, so thanks in advance for any answers.
Bye

You could try bending the plant down. Tie a string to the top, bend the plant in a way that it won't break the plant and tie the other end of the string to something below.

yeah tie it down just dont break it, by the way dont u dare cut off leaves in flowering session leaves are its carb and sugar diet right there, u need those two do produce tasty buds.

Remove the lower branches? That defeats the whole purpose of bending it. Kashan wants to know how to make the lower portion of the plant have bud sites. removing the lower branches would make that completely impossible. The whole purpose of bending the plant is to allow the lower branches to catch up to the upper half of the plant.

That is true somewhat,The branches that you remove are the "sucker" branches;the smaller ones that don't have any girth to the stem. The bending is going to help the middle to the uppermost branches(tops) to enlarge. The only way he will and could get better growth from the inter nodes is by super cropping the branches.

I thought about bending them but they're a bit too close to each other and plus, the tallest one is right in the middle of the others so it's basically impossible to tie the plant to anything near without bothering the other plants.
I'll try to post some pics of my plants so you can tell me what you think

Can't wait to see 'em.

And remember; there's a lot of people who would kill for problems like yours!

They look great. I see that they look to be Sativa dominant, that's where all the height is coming from.

Tie em down,where theres a will theres a way

 

[kashan]

So, first pic is the one i was talking about, you cant tell cause it's only the tip of the plant but there's really nowhere to bend the plant as there are other ones near (yeah I know I suck as a photographer ) and the third is the plant that has flowered the most right now but it's still growing.
middle pic is the tip of the plant up close, and i just liked the way it came out

Sooo, what do you say?

 

[Chewwy1234]

Tie some twine about a foot down from the top of your biggest plant and hook something with some weight to the other end

Get a long stick(36'') and hammer into ground, then get string and tie to the stem of the plant and the other end of string to the stake..viola!!

Good suggestion

Good suggestion

Thanks. I tie mine over all the time outdoors because of crowding and better air circulation when they start to flower. Also the middle nodes and the middle of plant gets big, fat nugs when finished!
