two of these plants are topped and tied down and 2 are just tied down. Am i supposed to tie down the branches with bud too? These plants are 4 and 5 weeks old. Topped are 4 weeks, tied only 5. They're in 5 gallon containers. A few have stretched horizontally out of the pot that i cant do nothing else besides super crop. If i train them back inwards they end up shading each other out. Any thoughts are welcome.

I'd say just let them do their thing at this point. Is the light spread an issue? If not i'd just let em ride it out with some light defoliation around week 3 of flower, dont wanna do too much when bud sites are forming like that in my opinion.

That looks pretty familiar...
Most of my girls end up looking like that so all I can suggest is to do selective thinning on interior shoots to thin out the canopy.
I ended up using trellis netting as well as yo-yo's to keep everything in place.
Not a bad problem to have...grow looks very nice.

I guess I am being a little paranoid. I dont want anything trivial go wrong and screw things up. Thanks for the input. That's exactly what I am gonna do. Let them do their thing. I let the what if game get into my head. They're healthy, green, growing, budding nicely, so let them keep doing it. 3 different strains, 2 are naturally short. The other two hit 30 plus inches.
Im slowing down on so many nutrients too. Another guy had this same strain and it filled his 5x5 and he harvested 538 Dry grams from one plant. I dont have those kinds of lights. My total coverage 5.5 x 5.5. And Im growing 4 plants. Two of which I knew are very short easy to manage strains. But Mephisto and RocBudinc strains can and will get big, especially if you let them. The other guy had 3 gallon, Im growing in 5. I cracked the main branch at the stem a few days ago. I tied it together and the stem has already covered or swallowed the garden ties that were holding it together. These things are growing faster than anything I personally ever had experience with and it does make me a bit nervous. I believe the keys to this sort of growth for me is the root care and Neptune's harvest 0-0-1. Its the same stuff those guys grow 2000 plus pound pumpkins with. I also use growers recharge, humic acid, and A special amino with silicate supplements. Tomorrow will be week 5 and 6 and they're eating more and more. Everything i throw at them
