Hi
This is my first grow. My plant is in veg 10-12 weeks and about 4 ft diameter. I have 8 main branches where the bottom 4-6 have filled the grow space horisontaly. The top 2 branches are at least 1 inch in diameter and have many sidebranches. They start at about one foot from the roots. My question is if i should cut of the top two or four branches to lower the plant, and so the lower parts can get light. I would also have a more level plant for the flower cycle.
Some background info:
I`m new to growing and the first grow was to get some experience. I put the seed ,Critical Kush, in coco for a seedling. It took some time and the branch almost broke a week after it sprouted. I put the plant in a hydro system with the following ph swings and it did not thrive for a while. When it did start to grow good leaves and 4 nodes i installed a ph controller and was gone for one day. When i came back the pH had dropped to 3
it put all the acid in the tank. I acusted the pH to 6,5. The day after the fan leaves was dropping. A few days they were dead. The roots also died.
New roots came and the plant started to grow. I transplanted it to a 13 gallon bucket and 13 gallon reservoar and 400w MH and topped it. Got a chiller for the water.
Now its quite big and im wondering if its going to be to tall. Its 12 inch from the lights and i can put the lights 16 inches taller. Im getting 4 mars 300w this week to put inn with the 400w MH. The plan is to start flower in a week.
Any input is highly appreciated.
