Where to cut? (pics)

[thurak]

I jsut started forced flowering day 2 and i think i should go ahead a make the cuts so it doesnt get alot bigger. The top has split and is growing into 2 tops. If i cut off the top will it stop growing upwards? Could someone please specify where to cut, like under the 2 tops etc? Do i cut the major stem? Please help, id hate to have to get rid of my plant because its getting way too tall :stoned: . You can see ffrom the top down photo that it already has 2 colas and the side photo should allow accurate directions on where to cut .

That plant is rather stretched, and judging from the internodes you wont be getting much bud from it. Maybe an 1/8 if your lucky.

What kind of lights are you using?

your kidding right... im using sunlight

I don't know how to answer your questions regarding topping, etc... I did it and it worked, but I don't know the specifics.
Anyway, your plant looks really healthy, especially the leaves, but I agree with LIP that it's rather stretched.
Is it getting direct sunlight? Because, I grew a plant using natural sunlight once, and it worked great, but on the other hand, one time my friend found a plant growing wild underneath one huge tree, and that's "sunlight" but not direct, and it stretched really bad.

Follow the main stem up to the youngest leaf growing and cut . I dont know exactly how to help you out, step by step but thats how I seen this one guy on a vid top his plant.

I've never seen a plant so stretched. It's the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of plants there.

Don't listen to Lip.
He likes to rattle of Bullshit.
That he doesn't know anything about.
That plant isn't that stretched.
You cut right below the top node. inbeetween the fan leaves.
Put it in a sunnier spot.
It's stretching from the shade probably.
It should yield well outdoors.
