Cut down 4 branches. I made sure all the ones i cut were the smaller ones out of the group. Going to let the remainder stay under 12/12 for another week. Trichomes are about 70% cloudy, 25% clear and 5% amber. Not the couch lock that i was looking for, but thats why im letting the majority stay under 12/12 for at least another week.

3 of the 4 branches are WW. The long skinny nug that has more red hairs is the NL. (The Northern lights is the nug on the top in the first pic).

Thanks man!

There will be many more, larger nugs next weekend!!

I really wasnt expecting nugs this big being the plants are only 26 inches tall! Some of the NL nugs go 2/3rds the way up the whole plant!!

Just weighed everything after i trimmed and got rid of all stems. Its 218gms. I'de say i cut maybe 15% of what i have. If thats correct that means i should have a goos 1000gms. Figure ive been getting about 25% weight dry. That means i should get a good 250gms dry from 4 plants. Not bad, not great.

Lol bobby. Im talking about wet weight. I seem to lose about 70% so out of 1000gms ill see 300gms. But this is only a small portion...

Damn that looks sweet. Nice grow. I'm sparking up some NL i got now just to congratulate you lol. (And to get high)

What does your NL look like? mines a little on the fluffy side, lots of amber hairs. Otherwise its a pretty white bud once you crack the nug open. i just find it to be a lot fluffier (less dense) and many more hairs in comparison to my WW.

I don't know who grew it I bought it but it was full of amber hairs although this was not that fluffy pretty dense actually. Very white inside though.

Well im running into a problem. I didn't anticipate this bloom would take this long. As a direct result, my plants have been in veg for much longer than desired. They are already as big as my grow box will allow. Last time i went 12/12 with this strain they doubled in size. The space i have just wont allow this. What should i do?

Also, Some of my plants are growing pistils and its still 18/6. I have an autoflowering fem in the veg box; could that cause my other, non auto flowers, to start to bloom under 18/6 conditions?

Here are some pictures.

is it safe for me to tie down the plants at this point. With prior grows i find my plants atleast double in size. That would mean i would have about 3-4ft going up and another 3-4ft going across... I guess i could tie it down at the tip and use another string to hold it up?

Should i cut it now and topp??

anyone?

I cant have a 7ft tall plant in a 4ft tall box...

well as for the plants in veg, yes you can tie them down, but i would recommend gradually if you choose this route, a better or more productful way to go is to top which will delay growth for a week which i think in your case would be ok, or clone, take some snippings

you can clone a large branch that would look like half a plant no problem, there are more hormones in that branch than a little cutting so success should be easy

All is done. About 240gms dry. I had 4 plants in the long run; all of which were restricted to 30" tall. So 8.5 from 4 plants is about 2 per plant... Not great, but certainly not bad considering my height restrictions! Other guys are looking great, have been in 12/12 for almost a week... All but 3 are showing sex.. ALL females so far. :joint:
