Plants Are To Tall

[HerbRx]

I let my plants get to big in veg. Now 4 days into flower with my light as high as it can go the tops of my plants are burning. What do I do??????????????

Mug her down with some string before you lose your tops to burn. Bend them down gently and only as far as you need too. Get to it!

I had this same issue. I am using an ebb & flow tray and have limited vertical growth room.

I built a pvc fence around it per bubblegrower's recommendation and started tying the plants over to the side and keeping them away from the light. After the 2 week stretch they slowed down and I've been able to keep them under control.

If you look here... http://www.michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/topic/20187-some-flowering-questions/page__st__20 you can see some pics of what I did. It's one way to go if you are able. You have to be careful because they likely won't bend as easily now as they would have in the early veg stages.

Like they said bend it if they get too big I have had them make a total loop, you really dont want to prune if you dont have too. rember a rule of thumb is your plants will get at least 200% bigger in the first two weeks.

Thanks. My temps/humidity got out of control and I just finally got it corrected. So, this grow (my first) has taken a bit of a beating since those pics were taken. Hopefully the last few weeks I have left give me enough time to get the buds to grow a bit more.

I think my next grow I'm going to try a sea of green, possibly with a wide U shaped screen for increased surface area. I'll also send through only 4 plants next time instead of the 6.

Fortunately there's room for 3 new one's in there now. Chemo scissor hash is a good thing.
