The tops of the plant have grown past the height of the netting. Twice a day I need to re-tuck the extending branches and grow tips under the net to keep them trained. The hardest thing is to keep all of the node regions and tips in the light. The leaves start to climb on top of each other and space in prime light is hard to find. Plus it must add a lot of stress to the plant with the continuous bending, tucking and shoving.

Toward the end of the week I trimmed the bottom half of the plant that was no longer getting light due to the thick canopy at top. This will hopefully keep the energy of the plant focused and also divert any wasted time/energy the plant was spending on these lower leaves and tips.

Sex is still unknown - I am a bit surprised about this. Thought it would have shown by now. Keeping my fingers crossed that this wasnā??t a waste of time, but regardless itā??s been fun getting this far once again.
yo man, you dont have to worry about light being blocked by leaves, havent you seen my threads & my plants yet?
light penetrates foliage to a depth of about 10-14 inches depending on the wattage of your bulb.
