the grow room is bursting at the seams , they are chest height, wot should i do trim em prune em ? they are 2 weeks into 12\12 and look amazing , any ideas on this would be great , ta guys

I have not tried but i have read that-

 

 

once they start to show flowers you should NOT trim

 

do u have enough room for them to be twice their size??

 

if yes just cut some of the small insigficant branches off, and cut approx 1/5 of the leaves in half,

 

if NO- you got a problem, my brain fart is that i would cut the plant square like a hedge and let you do its thing, I have read that when you do this its preferable to cut some of the roots off,

 

ANY fucking with the plant will cause stress though, so if you may not have too then leave it alone, all its parts that are alive are carrying out chem reactions and will lower your final product in smoke and yeild.

 

 

BUT THIS IS ONLY WHAT I HAVE READ, and I reakon it sounds right.

My two cents...if you dont want em to grow anymore add superbud....automatically stop height growth...and stretching

 

You can cut them back at anytime...it might shock em for a couple of days but thems the breaks...

 

You could also try tipping them into the 3rd week to stop elongation and promote fattening of the bud sites....
