Soooo....I have myself a little problem:
A few of the little bitches are fucking huge. The biggest one(44") has a good foot on the smallest. Today marks two weeks of flowering and they're just starting to get the fuzzies on the tops. The lower branches aren't nearly as productive yet. One thing's for sure, I'll be switching to 12/12 sooner next grow. My big girl is probably going to top out at about four feet. I was hoping to keep them at or around three.
Something I should note, on Thursday I introduced Blue Mountain Organics' Super Plant Tonic. I think it's safe to say that the dramatic growth I've seen is due to SPT. Marvelous shit, I tell you. I'll be keeping it in my arsenal for quite some time. The weather has been pretty decent around here so I haven't had to run the AC during the day as much. I can usually shut it off for a good 6-7 hours. The plants are getting much more of my exhaled co2(I'm in the room most of the time), so I'm sure they're loving that as well.
Back to the problem at hand, I want to have a level canopy. The three big girls, or "magordas" as my late uncle would say, are preventing the smaller ones from getting maximum light exposure because I have had to raise the light considerably.
I believe my options are either top, or bend. The tall stems are somewhat malleable. I think I might be able to pull that off. Would that be the best way to go? Would I ruin the plants if I top 'em? Will Erica and Jackson get back together? Please advise.
P.S. - It should be clear by now that #1, I have a shitty camera, and 2, I suck as a photographer from the get-go. My apologies.
