tie colas in early flower?

[dank daisy]

So today is 2nd week of flower and I have 3 colas that are way taller than the rest and I'm wondering if it will stress it too much or affect yield if I tie down colas even with rest of canopy. Please help

First off, that don't look like second week of flower. Looks a lot farther along than that. You can tie them down, just try to not be too rough about it.

Ok great that's what I thought. They are 2 weeks from the day they started showing the white hairs. Or 3 weeks 3 days from 12/12

Looks good. Tying them down will help keep them from becoming apical colas and the rest will flourish, probably helping your yield get a bump in weight

That's what I was hoping for. Had to raise lights so they wouldn't get burned and there are a lot of bud sites lower down that probably would never mature. Also does it look like it has too much nitrogen. Sorry this is my first grow

They're very green leaves, but I don't see any signs of the leaves clawing, so I wouldn't worry. It's usually around week 5 or 6 that they'll start to change to light green and yellow, which is perfectly normal. But they look very healthy. My sour sky grow had green leaves that stayed that dark even on harvest day. Just keep an eye out if the leaves tips start to bend down really hard.

With just a pic I would have guessed week 5 of flower.

Yeah she is monster. Do you guys count from the day you switch lights or the day from the first white hairs?

 

[PeytonManning]

Hairs, not flip, unless there were hairs before flip

I count from the flip.
