Also was wondering how much taller it I'll get after done stretching while budding. Afghan kush early harvest showing little buds already after about 11 days flip.

So here is where I'm at. Was dealing with terrible stretch. Plant stretched 11 in in 10 days. So I topped all 11 tops and heavy defoliate. So now 2 days later not a bit of increase in height. Happy about that. Not sure if it was done stretching or if what I did stopped the stretch or delayed it. Anyone have
You topped a plant while it was in flower?

Definitely wasn't my original plan. The dwc plant is growing so big so fast. I did a lot of things to it that I haven't even considered before.

The one in coco and the one in soil growing next to it I have pretty much left alone and are way shorter. No worry about height on those. But it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Some branches were a little shorter and didnt get topped. So I will get to see the difference. Not too worried about it becuase this dwc has crazy explosive out of control growth for my little tent. Should have only one plant in dwc in there or flipped earlier. Never supercropped before just accidentally snapped a few while training and the super dense branching made me feel that would be counter productive for yeild in this case. That being said I will show pics in a few weeks of budding.

I have 3 afghan kush early harvest. One in coco one in soil and one in dwc. I am 2 and a half weeks into flower. The one in soil and the one in coco have short nodes. The one in dwc started flowering a few days behind. And also stretched way more. Some branches have 6 in between nodes. Being in dwc it had more branches but some are really thin and stretched out. My question to those with experience is.....did I get a weird genetics on the dwc.....is there something that I did wrong to cause it? Here is a pic of a couple thin branches that I cut off the dwc. Also will the branches thicken anymore. I have took some off that seemed crowded and flimsy. Will these even be able to support the buds?20200329_184143.jpg20200328_203227.jpg20200328_202950.jpg

I only have 5 in left to raise my light. 2 and a half weeks into flip and the indicas gave stopped stretching and are forming buds. How much taller will they get by the time they are finished?
