HELP?

[copobo]

cut it in half. you could do that, make clones as suggested, and flower the bottom half.

High Copobo, hope your having a good day! what do you mean, "top it" please explain? thanks

If you 'supercrop', you basically trick the plant into thinking the top is dead or dying, so it concentrates growth at the lower sites.

'Topping' achieves the same effect. Literally, just cut off the top foot or two of the plant. This solves the height issue, and you can practice taking clones from the top that you cut.

You should read up on topping and supercropping, and even low stress training.

I could be incorrect too, this is just how I understand what copobo is saying.

Thank you very much all! I've decided to do the super crop, and am giving away the clones I save, have already found takers for the clones!!:thumbsup::jointsmile:

Ok all thanks again for taking time to help:thumbsup: just wondering if a 600 watt light will bloom (well) this big of a plant? anyone with any experience? others are offering info on something like, take as many clones as possible, root them till there 12"-16" tall and then flower a tent full of 18"-24" colas? warning that 600 watts isn't enough for such a big plant, the bent or chopped method?? god I'm confused:upsidedow thanks!!:stoned:

[copobo]

the best buds will be nearest the light. within 2 feet. the very best even closer. (biggest/densest/stinkiest) so keep that in mind as you do what you do with your bending or pruning. Take your clones, then bend or prune, wait a week for the plant to recover from being chopped or a little more for new tops to develop, then go for it. (or keep it until you have clones rooted, as backup)

don't worry too much and keep your ph right

Its your first run, relax. Just grow it. Worry about what you can improve on for the next run. Keep a journal so you're not repeating mistakes. Might want to start reading up on drying & curing soon.

OK thanks to you. Why I'm active on this web-site. I plan to start growing on my own and your questions help me with my future (planting) planning. The posts by the members here have helped with my ongoing education.

Don't know who said it but the dumbest question is the one never asked. :stoned:

I've learned that there are multiple threads on this site and elsewhere that thoroughly discuss the problems in this thread and other new grower mistakes, problems, etc.

It is worth your time, to the OP and other people new to the site, to browse other parts of this forum. There are entire boards dedicated to various grow methods, plant problems, and any other issue you can imagine.

If you have a question, it's been asked before and the answer is probably in an existing thread. This is just an FYI as there are many ways to do everything, so it's worth your time to get as many opinions as you can. Then make a decision on your own. You'll be more sure of your decision, because it's easy to blame failure or poor results on 'bad advice'.

With that said, it's still valid to come to these parts to get more local advice. Happy growing.
