you are in serious trouble. topping the plants in flower will cause your yeild to shrivle up.
to tall and all the lower buds get now lumens and get all stretchy. and your bag seed is mostlikely a outdoor strain.

thats alot of strikes against you. expect to hit the ceiling!

you can use a products like

stacker
bush master
Dr Nodes

or make a seaweed kelp mix to help stop vertical growth.

your plant may still double to triple the size.. Keep your grow room dark for 3 days it limits the amount of stretching your plant will do.:peace:

Just use lst on them and bend all the tops over and tie them of.
Read all about lst training in the faq section:blsmoke:

Makes no difference at all just angle the pot at 45 degrees and then start to tie weights and strings around the area and attach them to the plant and stretch them out slowly and tie them of.:blsmoke:

im in a similar situation, my plants have about 1 foot to grow upward until they hit the 1000watt hps. im in day 4 of flowering and i went ahead and topped it a few times, this early shouldnt have an affect on it since its still stretching. what ive started doing is tying them down, my branches are thick too but you dont have to tie it down alot - just a little every week. be thankful yours are under a 250watt instead of being switched from 1000watt mh to hps, the switch is making these things explode!

Are you serious? Seaweed kelp mix? IS that for the natural iodine or what? I have never heard anything like this at all.
VERY interesting.

They are all the same age but the big one is the problem.

iv done the seaweed kelp mix and it has stopped growing upwards, for now that is.

any feedback would be nice

Thanks guys :peace: Peace :joint:

yea thats sativa....outdoor for sure....but you can bend it...just slowly train it sideways and the top will get more light..im doing it now on one of mine..

If you want a good result you will need more light than you have at the moment.
They will take about another 10 weeks at least:blsmoke:

you probably have a good 10 week flower period on those to get the most crystals and yield. but i can tell you a trick to tie it down....get a brick or a rock(something round or square thats heavy) tie a rope to it. then tie the other end of the rope or string to the plant top about 2 nodes down from the top but make sure there is slack in the string.. then just flip the brick wrapping the string around it until its bent a little..every day flip the brick one more time until the top is bent sideways and soaking up all the rays..

Its not just about faster its about better,more light = more bud its that simple.
You will also find that unless you give it enough light the buds will be all scrawny and crappy however long you wait:blsmoke:
