So I’m growing a blur dream plant atm. I heard they get quite tall if u don’t train them well. I think I may have topped the second time too early. Im wondering what will happen and I know it will be okay because she’s healthy just wondering if I’ll skip out on bud sites.

She's a stretchy girl, isn't she?

Looks fine to me, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're worried about vertical space just keep LST and topping as necessary.

Some people say to wait until it makes 2 nodes. I didn't do so this time around and my plants seem fine. I may try waiting another node next time just to see how it affects them, though.

At the end of the day, your plants want to grow. Unless you really fuck them up physically or aren't providing them with a good environment, I believe by and large they will recover from anything you throw at them. Especially if we're talking about photoperiods in veg, you can just wait until they're healthy again to flip to flower.

What kind of light are you using and how far away is it from your plant? It looks lanky from the light being far away, but maybe it's genetics. As far as topping again too early, nah. It just slows the plant down everytime you do that. Unless you are outdoor, or plan on vegging for a really long time indoor, there is no point in topping more than once imo. Topping once with some LST can provide just as many tops and will be faster.

Actual wattage is 600w led I have it about a foot away. It’s not really lanky just modes growing a bit far

yeah I feel, she has a long way to go until flower. I guess this next time I’ll wait till she grow a few nodes in between.

I use to create a 12-16 top plants and they would just get out of hand.
I now train for 6 main tops and trellis them out to allow the tertiary branches to fill out the canopy.
Works quite well.
I normally yield 12-20 oz dried/plant.

Damn bro first grow I only got about 1 oz haha this one I have better equipment tho so should be better yield. The plant is already growing a lot better. But I’ve been training it a lot. I’ll have to research lst not too sure what it is
