Give them a couple of weeks and you'll notice multiple new "tops". Contrary to popular myth you're plant will not stop growing taller it just won't grow as tall as fast. I've bent top of a plant about a foot down, the branches along that stretch started to grow vertical and I had essentially four new tops which eventually grew taller then the plant was when I bent the top.
Purple Daddy Reviewed by Purple Daddy on . advice needed please Hi Guys, my 1st post here. I am new to growing and have come across a 'big' problem. I am growing 8 plants in an NFT system, but I think the plants are gonna out grow my space. I have just switched lights to 12/12 yesterday. Due to space issues, it will be very difficult to bend them over, so is it safe to cut the tops off the plants, or is this frowned upon? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Rating: 5
