Is she in veg or flower? If she is in veg you could always trim her up. You know do some topping. If she is in flower about all you can do is tie her down. Do some serious LST on her. ;)

Or supercrop.

Or supercrop.

That's what I'm doing now. Just sort of experimenting. I'll pinch and roll the stem till it gently breaks, then let it heal (2-3 days) then do it again an inch or node further down. Just keep doing it, it will help the lower branches catch up to the top.
But I can afford to, I have plants to play with, check my journal.

im just into flowering, I dont want to stress her very much any more, but is some lst still ok? Will this effect bud growth and potency? Maby tighten down a branch every other day an inch or two more. I have every branch lstd. Or just avoid doing it as much as possible. This is my first grow, I should have looked around this forum before I started, maby resoling my problems even before I started but now its to late. I have a grape fruit goo seedling 24/0 who I topped at 12 inches then topped the tops another 5 inches up, so shell have 5 top colas, hopefully not getting very tall which i assume. I havent seen anything about supercroping that my brain can grasp. I read both cannabibles. So you pinch the stem till its weak and bend which ever way you want? branches too? Im not sure so i havent done any of this.

do you have any photos? when did you start LST?..I read on here that you don't want to LST while in flower? Did I read a bad post? would like to see photos of these..Thanks

when she(s) wake up. Ill use a camera and not my phone hahaaa:hubba:
Thats what Im asking, Its a little ok?
I started a week before flowering.

I have 2 tied down right now... getting some nice tight side stuff growin it too

[Dubbaman]

Im not going to be so sure that it will make it man it may live for a few days but if it snapped off that bad to where it was hanging by its skin most of them come off if it hasnt yellowed and withered as of yet you can try to take it off and recut it an inch or so above where it was broken and try to root it and see if you cant save the top and then youll have 2 plants that you can flower but not untill it is rooted :cool:

I use LST methods all throughout my grow, and never have a problem, pull them down a bit at first, then a bit further and so on, til you have them down as low as you want the canopy to be and keep in mind that the growing tips will try and turn back up into the light, so keep moving your ties further out on the branch. Finally, at about the 4th week of flowering, I stop bending them, tieing them permanently in place and let them finish flowering...there isn't that much difference weight wise, between LST'ing them and letting them grow straight up...LST does make more of your branches act as tops, so there may be a slight addition (weight wise) due to this, but I"ve never done a side by side grow using both methods, so I shan't state it as fact...

Peace...j.b.

Quote from Growdude.

I dont like to LST in flower because when you do what was the top most part of the plant, where the biggest buds will be, is now bent down and less developed areas are now the top most part.
These areas are not vegged up enough to grow the best cola's. so the best area is to low to get the growth hormone and the new area dosnt have time to vegg into a huge cola.

Its not going to hurt the plant just the harvest, but is the thing to do if your just overgrown.

[headband]

then youll have 2 plants that you can flower but not untill it is rooted :cool:its a clone. and yes the branch is living and the buds are getting bigger on it. so i thing its growing:ignore:

yea i vegged these babys a lil too much, I didnt plan on buying the hps my first grow but they looked great and had the cash so made the investment. ***** but its better than it. So how will the top cola grow, denser on one side?

you have any pics of yours?

[octobong007]

sorry no, someone liked my digi-cam more than me and it walked away at a high rate of speed. one ladie that i'm rejuvinating was lst'd to the point it looked like a ball...she got released from her ties when put into flowering, has about 15 dominant points and looks literally like a hedge...i gotta find me a cam before it harvests, looks kewl as can be. a couple others look like a "swirl" going around the planter...just playing with clones...but for max harvests i'd recommend "lollypoppin"...i like FAT buds.

[headband]

that *****, does ne one know how having a curved top cola will effect potency and density? :ccc:
whys it ** out su uks???

if your cola's curved, i honestly dont see how it would effect quality or density...i have alot of "down syndrome plants" as i call them and their so ggrreeaatt that tony the tiger stays quiet when looking at them. i'm a firm believer in lollypoppin, especially when somethings on the top that looks good enough to call lola-the-cola. your bends wont hurt a thing dude...so rock out with your...sock out and fatten them girlies up!

to bad u have to tie them down at all ,,is their any way u can get away with not haveing to tie it down cause its a very nice plant ,,me myself id be woried about snaping the thing in half and u put to much time and effort in it to take that chance so all i can say is be carefull ,,i dont think u should have to tie it down much more tho cause like u said its in flower now so it should stop growin up ward now prety much ,,our atleast my plant has slowed way down growin upward ,,but any ways ive noticed that the side of my plant that gets the most light is getting way nicer lookin buds so i been trying to turn my pot around in different places under the light to give it a even amount of time on bolth sides but i only got a smaller hps not a big one so this is why im havein that problem but ive seen many grows on this site were people tied their tops down like u have and ive seen giant colas come out of them still ,, i think when it comes down to it its pretty much all about light ive lernt quickley

[headband]

ya im leaving the ties down, untill i notice height growth stops and nuggege growth is in full throttle . I dont have to space anymore to grow up, im in an attic and only have about 4 ft grow space from tops of buckets.. The top of that plant would be dead and burned alive if i didnt do any of this. Thanks on answering my questions, you guys rock
