I planted my plants early March... I just let nature take it's course and my plants are steady growing
I know some of ya'll would say that's good but I have neighbors so I can't let them get to tall. I already had to get rid of one :(
I did cut the top of the plant but that didn't help at all and they are not flowering yet... What am I doing wrong...

You can tie them down. Pull the top branches towards the ground and keep them low. You will see another explosion of growth as the inside growth will now have light. I wouldn't recommend cutting tops this late but you can if you like.

if you want shorter plant start it later and do lots of topping, LST, and tie down early on. otherwise grow autoflowers.

holy shit, those are infront of your house in GA? i hope you dont live in a real populated area, cus thats a good place to get them stolen, i would damn near try to transplant em and put em somewhere else, cus once someones scoped them out, all they gotta do is wait till its done growing and right when you go to harvest itll be gone, yea id hide that shit. if you cant move it anywhere else, atleast tie em down (with string that you cant see) i wouldnt recommend fishing line cus i hear the sun shines off of it

I use bamboo screens from Home Depot to make my fence taller.

Hang red Christmas balls on them and tell people they're tomatoes. Lol.

Yeah, good advise here...tie them down and once those inside branches and buds get a chance for some sun, you'll have lots and lots of buds...everywhere and they won't be too tall...since it's already july 4th, then I wouldn't top them at all anymore from this point on...just tie them down and let them go..and keep the growth horizontal rather than vertical.

I tried to tie them down but they want bend that much and I don't wanna put to much force on them(afraid of breaking them)
Is it possible for me to dig them up and place them inside my garage???

you can squish the stem use your finger and the side of a lighter and squeeze it a bit you will feel it kinda give way use a softer part of the plant..


like this..

I just suppercropped one today, too big to tie down and only one from seed. EIther it's hybrid vigor or a male. Not sure but it looks like tiny nuts at the nodes. I LST all mine heavily early on, even so some of the others are getting way tall with five or more main shoots. They just love the heat

Your first problem was killing a perfectly good plant, if thats the case just kill them all bc you obviously dont want them to grow. They will STRETCH ALOT when flowering first hits, may as well get them out of their misery now...what a shame.

well u dont have to do that, if u want weed vs non at all, cut them whenever they grow taller, not the best thing for the plant but at least its maintained
