53-21: As you all know I've been really worried about height. So after much research and time to think I've decided to do some bending. Yesterday I went in and bent the 2 tallest branches. Of course I was really worried about killing the plant. So I only started with one on each plant. What do you know today the tips and buds were turned up towards the light and thriving. So I may have bought myself a little bit more time in the tent.
When I fed them today I bent one more on BB2. She's growing out of countrol. I now see how my split on BB1 slowed her down some. Because BB2 had passed her up and isn't stopping anytime soon.
If anyone is wondering what bending is I'll explain.
Bending: you go several inches down from the top of the tallest branch. Then you roll the branch between your fingers until you feel the inside of the branch get kind of mooshy. Then you slowly bend the branch where it's facing the ground. I've read the beat time to do this is between week 2-4 of flower. Because the branches still have some flexibility in them. Afterwards the buds will start facing the light again. This will also help the light get to lower buds.
