My colas aren’t even in the center there at the corners and all the lower branches are as high as the main colas. U can but green wire and hold them separated and as long as u just pull just the lowers out it’ll grow twice as fast and more bushes at week 4 of flower.

After u let it grow out the net you can cut out Wht doesn’t show signs of bud sights underneath. I would let it all grow out the net Here’s my lower canopy. As long as u scrog net and lollipop the bottom each netting your good to go.

I also want you to get the most of your space but you need to take the advice on board, width is what you want...wide and low, you'll get plenty height once you flip trust me!

You should read over the thread again there's a ton of good advice regarding getting the best from it.
Sorry bout being a nag;) will read againf 4 sho

This first pic is just the top of a plant....now im going to bend one of the tops over...20210223_142629.jpg
Now if i take and bend all the tops over like this then the plant goes from about a 14" circle to at least a 24" circle....almost doubling the space. Keep doing that until your room is full , then flip um...it wont take long at all...

I’m always scared to grow mine this height before bending over. Scared I’ll need my tape lol. As soon as my roots are stable I Lst at three nodes . I do that so I can place my satellites in five different directions then I top all them to make 1,3,6,9 nodes for bud sites. Like getotogrow said the wider u make u canopy at flip the more buds will grow out with it. You can bend them a little over 90 degrees and they’ll always grow up and reach for light.

I use leds in veg and hps in flower and leds in another flower. I run them HIGH off the canopy because im not used to that much light being an hps guy. I dont think i have been any closer then 24" on the leds.

A buckled stem isn't a problem don't let that put you off.

If you take hold of the stem and twist it back and forth between your thumbs and forefingers to soften the stem, do this over 2/3 inches and it'll bend without any kinks or buckles at the bends.

You need to apply force gradually twisting a bit more each time.

Little update,

Canopy is fulling up again, no signs of stress. Its looking more.....right. but there are so many branches is hard to LST to widen them. Thnikin i could try to let them get taller, and then they will naturally get wider, and continue pruning the bottom til i eventually end up with a lollypop....ill install the trellis when i feel its high enough to do some work under.

OR.

should I prune heavier and pick 10 branches on each to Lst?
