I don't think there is a height requirement so much as a sturdiness factor. if a plant can keep big fat buds upright it shouldn't matter if it is 6" or 16". Absolutely right a plant doubles (usually more) in size after switching to 12/12 with Sativas or Sativa-heavy hybrids getting even larger (do they ever stop growing?).good point works well with your situation, and the plants enjoy the optimism as well
And I am sure marys density wont be such a complaint too far down the road, but it does bring up a good point- vegetation size is complicated- i am currently 12 inches across the board- all 11 plants, and waiting till 18 before flower stage, but from what i hear there veg height doesnt matter, so much of the growing is in the flower stage, and for mary that could mean she becomes a dominating mother- overpowering the room! Cant wait to see, i will be checking back often, keep those pics coming, some full scale pics would be great! i am like 2 weeks behind so its perfect!
Why would you regret getting 5 new tops instead of just one and the tops being dense? isn't that a "good" thing?I cant get photos up now as i dont have access to my camera but i'll be uploading some tomorrow, I'll try get the whole stem in lol if not i'll take a video of it. I thoroughly regret topping Mary. It must have produced at least 5 new tops. Its WAY too dense on her top. The new hairs are being found on both Mary and Jane now. I'll do a full update tomorrow try be comprehensive as i havent had a proper update in a while.
Catch you guys tomorrow!
yep - growing like a weed! i only mentioned it since topping is very handy to keep the plant short and bushy - though as you mention - the tops will get thick!Yeah lol it would be a good thing im just worried about my limited space is all. And as theyre on their side all five tops are trying to compete upwards toward the light meaning branches are getting tangled and in the way etc.
