I was Reading About a SuperCrop but seems a little Sketchy Braking them..
Ive never had a Stain That Stretchs so damn MUCH!
BlueDream is no joke..

Might want to top those to keep an even canopy, no sense raising your lights to save 3 tops from burning when 20 have to suffer.

Screw topping, too late for that. If you are going to LST you better be serious about it. You will have to go in every couple of days and pull those branches down further and further. I would start LST the ones that are breaking for the light and I would supercrop their tops to send the clear signal to the rest of the plant to shoot for the lights.

In addition to the above suggestions, Bushmaster will halt vertical growth more or less dead in its tracks.

Search "Humboldt County's Own BushMaster" and you're good. It's available in most Hydro shops and online - everywhere.

you can supercrop like explained gently squeeze [cruch] the main stem between thumb n forefinger you'll hear the gentle crushing sound 1.5-2inch of stem, then roll it over @ 90 degree angle. this process may need to be done a few times to keep the desired angle.

LST is another optain secure the bottom of plant to 1 side of container now pull top towards other side untill you feel resistance then back off a tad and secure . go in each day and adjust the top as before pull down untill resistance is felt then back off a tad. after a few days you'll achieve desired angle for the plants.

Bushmaster is another optain it stops stretch on indicas now alot of indica sativa hybrids will also. but some sativa dom strains will continue to stretch even after a few BM dosses. i had a shoreline x trainwreck cross take 5 dosses of BM and still stretch. but as said BM works now on alot of plants. i use BM on my plants in soil i use 1/2 tsp per gal water w/ferts @ end of 1st wk of flowering normally, this current run i used it on day 3 of 12/12. i dont use it as foliar feeding because many ppl report problems with leaves burning and such. but way i use it i've never had any problems 1/2 tsp per gal water along with ferts and top water for drainage on all plants. i dont even lift my lights like it suggests to

I run into that problem more than not. These were allowed to grow natural until they got too tall. Tying them down won't hurt a thing. They might look a little weird, lol.

They're pretty resilient. As long as they're not dealing with other stress at the same time you'll probably be fine. You're in luck the break happened the way it did. You probably wont miss a lick.

Yer fine, just bend them as needed

You people recommending Bushmaster have obviously never grown blue Dream (ya ever grown anything?) b4. WRONG INFO, terrible terrible advice.

Pick the right strain for your setup and dont fight nature

Put an extra fan right on your light if you feel alot of heat from it. Then your girls can get way close w/ little problems. Maybe some light burn but Blue dream really is a dream to grow. Enjoy her!

:yeahthats yup, supercrop it, a gentle pinch & bend (NOT break) you'll be glad you did :canabis:

it will heal itself even if you snap it while folding it over. done it many times. As long as there is some tissue still connected on one side, just leave it be. it will heal and then turn back up for the light. nature is amazing in its will for things to survive.
