this is my first grow and everything is going well. I just have 2 questions. I'm growing 6 plants 5 different strains. one of my strais called purple dragon is about 5 foot 8 ( wth 5 gallon bucket. so jst the plant is around 4 foot 8) its been growing since the first of feb. its wayyyy bigger than my other plants. nice and full but it grows about 2-5 inches aday. my light is a 400 watt mh and is about 6-9 inches away from being at its hghest point (roof restriction) I was wondering what I can do to stop the main stem to stop growing an focuse on all the other branches. I was looking into toping it. but I heard it will split it into 2diferent stems that share the same potentional yield. I have already started lst on the lowest branches because they are huge and if left alone to stand straight up they arre about 3/4 the size of the whole plant. so I pulled those down so they will have moore room to grow.

another question is that Its getting so big thaat iits having a hard time standing straight. it doesn't fall over or anything but it feels looseand freely moveable. I was wndering iff there is anyway to make it sturdier.. I just tied it to 2 points on the wall yesterday. I don't know if that is fine or is there a better way to make it stronger.

thanks to everyne for some info. I will post pictures later. I'm away from my computer and typed all ths on my phone. so sorry if some letters are missing in some words.
