Stretching during veg

[TheRealNG]

hey all, so I’ve got 2 plants that stretched pretty bad and upon trying to bring them in to flower; I couldn’t fit them under my trellis so I’ve just got them sitting on the table without any support. Are these even worth flowering?
I’m insure how I’m going to trellis them as they will obviously stretch again and be flimsy when growing nugs.
(Also I top my plants before flower, and 1 of them unfortunately had a branch break while I tried to trellis. Do you think the stress will cause hermie?)

could something like a large tomato cage possibly help?

I’ll include Pictures and apologies if this is confusing I think being under the led light has fried my brain

SuperCrop them, and give them a couple of days to recover, then slip them under your net.

Interesting, I would have to cut close to half the plant to fit it in line with my current trellis line. I don’t feel like I’ll have any plant left by that point considering how far it has stretched already. What about creating a new trellis line higher than the plants currently are and then tying the branches up?

Do you know what super cropping is?

Why do you have to use a net? It looks like you have them raised off the floor. Put them down lower and flower away.

Or look into supercropping as @DoubleAtotheRON reccomended.

Too little light too far away.

No I did not, I just looked it up I assumed it was something else. My bad

Take all of your branches, and take your time and pinch, bend back and forth until the branch lays horizontal.. be careful to not break the stem. If you do it slow, they’ll make your plant shorter and wider, open up more bud sites, and you’ll get a better yield.

Wow, looks super interesting. I will look into doing that as I’d like to keep all my tables the same height. I’ll move them back to the veg room, wait a few days then do that. Thanks for the advice.

If you do break the "skin" of the branch... just tape it up. They're pretty resiliant. It'll look like shit at first, but a couple of days later, they'll look fine.

Just make sure they're well hydrated before you do this.
