Is this something along the lines of what you are talking about max when you say thinning?\

I went as hard on em as I could this time because the shorter ones to the right are the same pheno and they did not fill in well last time and that is the one I took it easier on so I took it up as far as I could bear too, only about 10-14 in. left on each cola (did not measure but my best guess). Gonna put the support structures like you are talking about on this weekend cus these are bigger than they were last time and I just do not want them to start flopping, even though these have a pretty good structure going. Only one that stuck the mainlining ideal was the girl in the back left for some reason... No pro at that style of training yet though, still kinda finding my way. Been supercropping and bending since pretty much day one, the ones on the left thought just keep going strong towards the light and do not want to stop, so it looks like that is about to be as even as my canopy gets for this one.
Looking nice in there lopez excited to see the difference between runs, as far as that querkle shit happens. Sometimes you draw the short stick in the genetic twig pile lol. The ones on the right in that pic are the same pheno and now that this is my second grow with this strain I am noticing it does not get a lot of side branching like the other space bomb, but this thing clones like a beast lol so it will probably be in my garden for a minute.

That looks good natro they will shoot and fill in soon and you will be taking more branch's out still.With a support structure you can tie the larger plants colas down some to keep them shorter to let the other plant catch up.This will also bring the nodal spaces closer together.A little extra super thrive or vit B will slow up the taller plants also.You still want stretch so when you get to the height you want them bomb them with super thrive.It wont hurt the plant but will be like putting the brakes on vertical growth.Another way of stopping vert growth is to overdose them with PK from the start.The plants will freak and so will you.The second week add a little extra nitrogen the plants will straighten out with super fast bud site development and real close nodal spacing.But will have almost no stretch.Id say around 2.5 to 3 grams of bud blood first week is enough to freak them out.The leaves will curl and droop down then the plant will straighten out and not gain much vert growth.
There is a method i tried a couple of times but wont do it again called the double vegetation method.This is not to limit vert growth but to gain production.At about week three to week 4 into bud you turn your lights back up to around 16 hours of light for around 5 days.This will cause the plant to go back into vegetative state then rebud on top of the buds you already have.It will take the finish time back to start though but your buds will be fucking HUGE when finished.Ive never done a weight comparison. But i dont like waiting a extra month for finish.Some plants take the stress better than others.
My preferred method was to just bomb them with super thrive Instead of a drop a gallon use around 6 to ten drops a gallon.Because i run hydro with several plants in the set up i use different strains with about the same finish time and i can separate them into sections of similar plants making the canopy easy to control without pulling tricks to keep em in line.
If i were to grow plants of different finish times in hydro say a 8 week strain with a 10 week strain either the 8 week is going to get to much food without flush or if i feed according to the 8 week plant the 10 week will not get what it needs.

Wow lookin good bro love the look of your canopy :) Mine are farther along then yours pushing 4 weeks now and lookin good... no pics yet... just got CO2 going in there tonight

Are these all clones from your last batch? All mine are cuts from the plants I cut down at the start of flower last run. No clones this time I gotta shut down after the next flower again to move :(

Damn stacking it deep and selling it cheap lopez.Buds forming up and stacking all over the fucking place.In another week and a half it is going to be thick as thief's up on the house.
They just need to get fat now.
You never said if you have seen a increase in bud development over other grows you have had.For twelve days its rocking.
In another couple of weeks its going to be insane.

Oh while im thinking of it you could raise the querkle up on a bucket or something to get it up into the canopy.Good looking grow my friend.As good as anything you will see on here or high times or anywhere else.
