Been kind of a messed up run of things, and I think I messed up again. This plant from base to tops is 30 inches, and in the pot it's 3 feet high. I've run this strain before and expect a 1.5x to 2x stretch in height, and that's a big problem because my light will only go up to 60 inches. Luckily I have a air cooled hood and can run it fairly close to the buds, but I feel like I'm going to need something more to tie things down.
So I had the idea that a scrog net would be the best option. Early on in the plants life I topped it at the 2nd node, so it has 4 big main branches coming out of the base. Recently, I topped and/or FIM'd each one of those, and I now have 10 growing tops total. 3 out of 2 large branches, 2 out of 2 small branches. My theory is that I can kind of "spread" the 4 big branches out and then pull up the new growing tops through the scrog net, and I am hoping that the "splaying" out will shorten it enough to make clearance for the light.
Also as you can see I'm kind of dealing with some deficiencies. Not the best time to flip, but I don't think I have much more head-room to wait any longer.
