If you want to veg longer you can prune them some. I cut one of mine back right when I put it in flower and it still doubled in size. A sativa strain can grow up to 3 times the size when put into flower. Where an indica they say about 1 1/2 times. But it all depends on the strain, hybrid's and all that. And growing conditions as well.

Ive had a very sucessfull 30 days of veg. Last night I set the timer for the 12/12 mode and it seems that the plants grew an inch over night. My pH is around 6.3 and my PPM's are around 850. So far so good

Hey 420, Thanks. Flowering these two with a 400 hps in a box a little over 2x2. A little to much light for the size but I did not plan to use it in there when I built the box. A new bigger box is coming. And yes that is two plants topped and pruned some more also. I'm hoping for 4 oz per plant when done. Not bad for a 2x2 box. A friend of mine thinks I will have more than that. I sure would be happy with a 1/2 pound. You could probably do more than than 1 oz per plant.

Wow, those plants look really healthy, the stems are like trunks! Your gonna have alot of problems keeping the SSH down to a reasonable height with that shorter indica.

I'm topping my SSH plants that are over 1 foot tall and gonna veg for another week or two depending on how long it takes em to recover from the top. Should keep my canopy height more even level and hey, more main cola's are never a bad thing :bigjoint:

Great looking plants though, cheers! At this rate you will finish a few weeks before me.

Yeah, just be careful. Once you start 12/12 flowering, it's advised not to stress the plant any more than necessary. Topping should be done in veg under 18/6. The extra stress in flowering can cause problems (maybe go Hermie on you).

Your plants really have grown dude. Your tie looks good but looks like if your light was a little higher it would help hit those tops better. But that is where what you have on the walls can make a difference also. When you can I would put mylar on them instead. You will get more light back to the plants. What is your temp at the top of the plants? It's ok if you let them grow into one big bush. for your space it probably be good for your harvest.

Still early in flower, would not hurt to top them now. I did with one of mine because I thought it might get to big and it did great. That will get the lower branches growing more and put out bigger buds too.

SSH is already a 11 week finisher, if you top in flowering you may add a week or two to that. Plant has to recover from being topped and that takes time/energy. Just don't be surprised if you end up waiting alil longer for them to finish.

Robotninja: Last night was the first night that i flowered and today is when i started to tie them over. I would hate to get hermies man.. i would rather get all females :D ...

Has Lover: My temps/ humidity is around 85F/54 when the door is closed for several hours but 70/35 when the door is open. If i let these SSH bush out anymore then I think they might over power my tiny Blueberry bush. IDK i wont do much of anything to these badboys for a while now. Maybe ill just leave them as is ... but i will raise the light up a few notches...:bigjoint:

Hash Lover: I think that is what I am going for. Maybe leave these ropes exactly like they are, top the plants, and let the branches grow towards the light. If this will make me have many tops and bigger buds then this is exactly what im going for....

Nasda90: Thanks bro.. keep checkin back

Robotninja: So SSH is a 11 week crop? Thats good news bro!!! I dont want these to grow any longer then they need to... im ready for some bud man. I can wait a extra week or two if it gives me more bud.

yeah man, SSH is like 75% Sativa I believe, 11 Week finishing time (thats just flowering!)

I will probably go for a 8-9 week finisher after a couple rounds with the SSH. Theirs a reason you don't see much SSH going round, 52.17 weeks in a year, an 8 week finisher gives you 6.5 harvest a year. SSH will only give you 4.7 harvests :(
