Clearly they have some height to them but will they bulk up a little with the switching to 12/12? No real need to defoliate since it’s not terribly bushy right?
Thank again
@JikJikkles I think there’s an issue. Your about to hit your lights and ceiling and you haven’t even begun to flower/stretch yet. Time to research how to supercrop.

@JikJikkles what light are you using? Has it always been at the top of the tent or have you been raising it as they grow? They do seem quite lanky, as if they have been reaching for light for a while.
As @Fieldofdreams says, you are going to have problems once they start their stretch! Supercropping them at 18" from their tops and then lowering the light a bit might be the only way to go. Read up on topping, fimming, and LST for next time!
@Spudgunner @JikJikkles I wonder if it’d just be best to top them down deep and let them recover score flipping to a 12/12? These are photo right?

Assuming they are photos, topping and then LST would be my course of action. I was gifted some taller clones, and did just that. Looked a little “different” than my normal grows, but was a complete success:
Here they were all decorated up for Christmas:

I agree @Fieldofdreams something drastic needs to be done to get any sort of yield. @Newt did a great job with his after taking drastic action!
@JikJikkles if you do top them, take clones from them! I just drop the tops in a jar of water with a little bit of nutes in it. Trim the leaves, in about 3 weeks you will see roots start to poke out in the water.
This one I transplanted last week.
And these are about 20 more crammed in a jar. Nice thing is that by the time these root, it will be nice and hot and sunny outside (end of June’ish), they can veg outside with mom is finishing off in the tent under 12/12. Then 4 of them can go back in the tent and get flipped!
@Newt I did find 2 shriveled up that had been lifted out of the water and dried…so ya I can see why you put 1 cutting in a bottle when you clone! I just don’t drink that much anymore!

Yes as they’ve gotten taller I’d raise the lights.
Didn’t expect them to grow this tall honestly but yea should have LST’d with some topping.
This one was the tallest 1st so I supercropped it so the other could catch up but now they’ve overgrown.

Maybe even just a bit lower… You have a natural flat canopy at the node junction just below the line on the rightmost plant.
Well done. Now if you get either some LST clips or a net, you can train them to be wide and flat, and then flip to flower.

@JikJikkles Getting it done!!! I like @Newt suggestion about pulling the remainder to a uniform height. New growth will come in and head towards the light. Then when she’s healthy and readjusted flip dat be-otch!!!

Had 2 more clones with big enuff roots so they got transplanted today. Mix up some ProMix, sprinkle some ProMix Stim-Root, plant and cover!
@Newt this emptied one of my jars, so I redistributed the bouquet of 9 Pound Hammers I cut the other week. Found 3 more dried stems that didn’t make it into the water, but now have 12 cuttings in each of the 2 jars I have. And still a jar of 3 cuttings of the Dutch Treat that are almost ready for dirt!
I have no idea what I’m going to do with all these when they root! Anyone near Vancouver in need of some clones in 3 weeks? Lol!

Net was too large so had to do my best making it tighter. Also should I have it lower than where uts at now?
Again appreciate all you guys for the info your providing. Much love

@JikJikkles are you going to supercrop and weave everyone through it for a uniform canopy? If so that height works for me.
I’m hoping the lower shoots grow through, is that what you mean by weaving or should I put the taller ones thru multiple squares?
Also how can I take the ph of the water coming out with it being in the trellis?
Also will it bulk up,the stems and branches, once I flip to flower?
