Thanks for all the great responses! I think XCrispi made a very relevant point - light penetration is the key and all the height in the world doesn't matter if lights not getting where it does the most good. I think for this grow I will just top them and next time I'll LST/top and compare notes. I'd like to have more room horizontally to properly LST and my next grow will be just 4 plants.

I've already followed JustaSeeds incredible scrog thread - excellent example of great yields with just a few plants. It was fantastic to watch and it helped reprogram my "more plants is better" mentality. Scrog is definitely on my to-do list.

Also been following your great examples Splifted - awesome job!!

I just inherited a wardrobe cabinet 18 x 30 x 72 - maybe I will try cloning GK! That should be plenty of room for a mother and a cloner.

Thanks again to everyone!
doco Reviewed by doco on . Too late to Top?? Ok, I've thinned down the garden to the girls I'm keeping and gave 5 others to a friend. Because some of the tall ones turned out to be girls too, I'm thinking of topping a couple. I want to start flowering in a week or two...is it too late to top? They are on their 7th or 8th nodes and I just transplanted tonight into their final 3 gallon pots. I'm concerned that by topping they may be in shock for awhile and starting to flower so soon after topping might have an adverse effect? Rating: 5
