17" of space left....

Lets "ASSUME" your plant in indica dominant and will only double size in flower stage...

That means you need to flower when 8 Inches tall.

Thats it and thats all you have....simple math.

If you top her, you are not going to get anymore height out of her. You will get 2 main kolas but still no more height.

The main kola is only going to account for a portion of your overall yield.

Unless of course thats all you have room for....!

Thats where the flaw lies in that low growth without LST.

The majority of your weed and smokealbe buds comes from your secondary growth shoots. You want those developed.

Can you do this as you have it now? YEs by all means.

Just pray shes indica and not sativa.....

If it is sativa....count on at least 2.5X growth in flower.

That gives you less than 6 inches for veg.

I suggest you evaluate your expectations with reality.

You can do this, just dont be expecting anything more than what you can get.

As for the question that follows this post, what would you gain by taking them out of the pot?

You wont grow weed in a soil grow with just 5" of depth...unless its a realy quick veg....

They are still at ground floor level.

You dont gain anything.

I suggest some serious LST.

Either that or just veg the fucker to 6" and throw into flower and get a few good joints and bowls outta the deal.
