How to tame….

Hi all, new to the forum, living in Southern California, doing my second outdoor grow. Using FF ocean forest soil and their trio of nutes in 35 gallon fabric pots.
I started with a feminized seed of THC bomb and a platinum og clone from dark heart nurseries.
Plants were moved outside and gaslighted as of May 15th.

I am getting concerned about them growing too tall and being visible from the street, think I started a little too early for my space…..

I have been doing fairly aggressive LST but was wondering if you guys have any tips to help slow verticals growth?
Here are the pics.
First two are the thc bom from seed
Second two are the platinum OG clone
Last is group shot

I'm unfamiliar with Cali law since I still live in a war zone; is there a penalty for having visible plants or are you just worried about security in general?

To keep them under that fence completely you're probably going to have to stress them so hard you feel like an abusive parent.

There is another house in the way so they go over the fence a little, mainly worried about security and my neighbors getting annoyed…..

Its time for some high stress training... All the verticals need to be horizontal... Super cropping!

just read up on super cropping, sounds like this may be the way forward. I turned off the gaslight last night, they are showing lots of preflowers, when would you suggest I start the super cropping? I’ve read week three into flower but I’m definitely not there yet. Thankyou for your input

Because I live in GA, I will always utilize HST/super-cropping on my outdoor girls to keep the plants from getting too tall.
Learned that lesson on my first outdoor grow with a 10' tall monster(my avatar is a pic of that one).
I utilize a cage made from wire field fencing about 30" in diameter around each plant to provide both support and something to tether the branches to spread out the canopy.

I’m gonna need some therapy after what you guys had me do to this poor plant

THC bomb after first round of supercropping, looking incredibly sad. I’ll update as/ when she perks up and starts to like me again!

Looks great, l have same problem and staying strictly lst and Kushman method but may need to supercrop or tie down too, have been thinking about 1x1s and a roll of plastic trellising. If you come up with a really good idea can you share please, l bet they look great already, now they are going to bush up. Im growing mostly clones this time but have a few seedlings too, lm at 43 degrees and bought a 150w led to gaslight with but never used it for reason l intended, only a few are freaks. Mine went out same time pretty much. Can you please post another pic of recovery?

For sure, I’ll keep you guys updated, I only super cropped the thc bomb and just did some more LST on the platinum kush just in case - new technique for me n all that.
