My plants are way to big! Help please

[northernkush]

Hi guys,

I have been vegging my plants for what seems like an eternity. I have been trying to get my minisplit AC unit hooked up but it just isn't working. Keeps throwing a P4 error code. FACK!

Anyways my vegging plants are almost already at the ceiling. What can I do so when I put them in flower they wont be too big and touch the lights?

Any suggestions? THanks

Bust out the scissors and shape them the way you want them.Give free clones away.

depending on how stretchy they are.. I cut or.. u can LST. or just fuckin honestly pinch and bend it so the plants growing sideways. and the rest of the plant will grow up..

I tried one time the N bend.. on really tall plants.. I lollipoped them.. then bent them slowly over like a week. doing 1 bend at a time.. until the plant looked like an N and was like 2 feet shorter.. it was a little weird.. and shit.. but it worked.. just gota make sure u soften the stem or else ull snap the main cola and have issues. I ended up taking mad clones and tossing the mother.. but it lived for a while.. jammin

what they said! i had a plant in my greenhouse that just fell over. by the time i found it a couple days later everything had started growing straight up just like you want. left it that way. i would just suggest you trim everything off the back half facing the floor.

if you do cut them back mae clones or gift the cuts

If you think that they are too big to tie back, you could always make a ton of clones and do a wall to wall SOG.

Cut everything back heavily up to 1 week before 12/12. The more time you give them before the switch, to heal-up, the better off they will be.

Yep I would take a huge cut of the top an trim up the sides an when u flower the plant will be groovy

I agree.... Went out to check my outdoor plants today and they must have fallen over sometime this week, the plants just kept growing while laying sideways on the ground and I ended up with a few growing horizontally. I think it'd be cool to transplant the root ball into a separate pot keeping the stem horizontal and basically started out with them already trained. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

I concur...

Lay the plants down horizontally carefully .. get a box cutter and cut holes into top side of the containers so you can water them.

other options .. take them outside or cut the hell out of them ...

judiciously!

I have put a screen up.. and then individually dragged each plant under.. and bend them down.. and then from there filled the screen.. .. all depends on what u want to do .. and how much work u want to put in.. I did half room trellis.. half LST.

Tie 'em down. They grow sideways just fine...

 

[TheBatCave]

nice

I do re plant sideways and tie down works perfect big yield!
