how much vertical growth can you "cancel" out so to speak by bending them over? 6-7 inches probably?Quote:

That sounds about right. When they start healing and begin to perk back up you can bend them again if you are very cramped for space. Puffzter had to do that with one of his white widows and it tolerated growing in a Z shape.Quote:

That buys me around a foot, then adjust as needed. Your crop will be fine!
Also, CANNABOOST does work! I know in Canada it is EXPENSIVE ( $120.00 per Ltr or, $40.00 per 250 ml ) However, you get what you pay for!

Wow 3x - 4x their height during flowering. That is sick! I have this one unknown strain (65 Day flower) that was about 1 1/2 feet when i flowered and now 30 days into flowering it is only 2 1/2 feet tall. Don't think she'll grow much taller just branch out.
i have a white widow plant thats about 6ft know 35 days into flowing and it reaks of peaches. thats right it smells like a peach farm. any idies??????
This should really screw up this thread.
I have essentially 3 different "White Widows." The one I will call the original, was given to me, I was told it was from the original line.
I have another that I took a nanner off the above and crossed with itself to feminize it. I call this Washougal Widow.
I have another that I bought from a very unreputable seed seller, and finally got one...just one real female. It is called "New White Widow"
Now of the latter I am only 21 days into flower. I put it in the flower room at one foot height. It, now is 6 feet and I have been doing the bending the main cola for a week. It is growing 6" per day, faster than anything I have ever seen. It should be at the end of the growth spurt now or soon. No idea if the weed is good or not. Very skinny lanky plant.
The original, I let grow to about 14" in veg then to flower. That plant grows to 5 foot in the flower room. I do trim the top one time in veg to get two main colas. Awesome stuff.
The Washougal Widow, mind you a fem cross of the above, has a totally different phenotype. It grows like an indica. I get it to about 16 in the veg room and it maybe goes 3 feet, but is very dense, huge cola, kick ass as good or better than the mother....
Both of the latter two are terribly difficult to clone compared to other species I have.
So, the New White Widow, I am really keeping the babies trimmed way back, and plan on putting in the flower room at 6 inches and see what happens.
For me it is all a juggling act, I have sativa dom, indica dom, mixes, I keep the light the same height and adjust the pot height to have a canopy a foot or so under the 1000
This comment interests me a great deal. Can you elaborate on preflowers? What do you do differently if plants are showing flowers before you go 12/12? As much as I've read, I've never heard anyone comment on this, every one of my grows shows flowers at about 4 weeks of veg.Quote:
