I have a question about topping/flowering
- Thread starter kojack420
- Start date
I don`t think that will be a option due to the fact that it is in preflowering, looks like I might just have to LST it.What would happen if... I at a certain hight i just put it in flowering, would that keep the height down, or would it still grown crazy. Btw I have it in a 1 gallon pot.
thanks
When you put the plant into flowering it will stretch, probably growing twice the size it was initially. So a 12" put into flowering may grow to 24-36" within 2 weeks of 12/12.
I battled this issue recently with some trees I got. I ended up supercropping them when they grew into the light. I basically crushed the stem and bend it to the side. When it heals I will crush it again to keep it as level and low as possible.

if it is the kksc cut then it wont stretch much but it will bush out like a bitch!
I might try to Top it and LST it.
i had a SC that i flowered around 9-12 inches tall...it didnt grow that much more..it finally ended up at around 2 feet. awesome strain though..nice yeild with lots of frost and ours even turned a little purple!

I'm with Phedro - top it.
but i thought ur not supposed to top it in preflower or is that just for flowering?

If your strawberry cough is onlyl 12" tall it most likely isn't in preflower stage yet unless you put your light's back
This strain gets really big so you'd be best to top it but if it is in preflower stage you are best to bend it down gradually like buddy suggested and let the buds grow along horizontally instead of vertically.
If you have the space
Good luck to you.

She is definitely in flowering stage so you are best NOT to top her. Strawberry cough is a sativa dominant strain so likes to naturally grow large. Since you only have 36 inches of grow space you would be much better off sticking with more indica dominant ones. If you top or (fim) them at the 4 or 5th internode (the place where the leaves come out from as well as other branches) then you will not only have more bud sites but better grow space and lighting for your entire plant.
You'll probably have enough room to flower her and not need to do anything but if it looks like you are going to run out of room then get some gardeners velcro tape , attach it about 3/4 the way up the main stem and tie it to something to bring her top end down a bit. The bud sites wil naturally grow towards the light.
Again good luck to you.

You might just have a bit different phenotype but she has large leaves
She's a big girl which is why I was surprised you had her flowering at 14 "
This one is great for depression with a creamy smooth taste
I personally like her a lot
