You'll keep the big branches tied down, and let all the little branches start to grow up now-
as those middle branches grow, you'll direct them to where you want them, so they fill in the
center fairly evenly (keep them out of each others way).
You might wait a little while to flip- let the small branches get a little bigger first, like let them grow upward
2 or 3 inches before you flip.
Or just flip now, and train them as they stretch- the plant will stay shorter if you do it that way...

Thanks you two 
So a C3 update. I’m not sure why she won’t fill out in the middle but it’s most annoying. Is it because I snapped her do you think? I’m either going to flip this Sunday or next. Opinions would be most appreciated.

C6 looks okay, she is fairly even. Now I need to confess something. I have been hanging weights from the branches that hang over the pot. If you look closely you can see my old nightshift torch for rounding. I prefer to shine a torch on a semi sleeping patient rather than blind them with the light. There’s padlocks and D shackles and all sorts of shit in there. Lollingggg.

So I have decided to only ever have 3 plants in flower at a time. And when I’m almost ready to cut, grow 3 more.
One of the most successful growers I have ever known, back in the day you did it all under the stars said his best yields were grown in plain site. He once grew in the middle of a roundabout with the council irrigating it lolllll. The dude I grow for doesn’t know this yet, but he is going to buy me another ceramic pot, so they have 3 pretty seats to sit in while in the sun.
I think they look beautiful. And omg they did have beautiful blue ceramic drip trays but I managed to smash one to pieces when I dropped the way too heavy pot On it. And I cut my thumb in the process!

What a privilege it has been to grow this beautiful plant. While she may look a little cray, I still think she is the most beautiful plant I’ve ever seen. And her waterfall of cascading popcorn buds gives me life!
I think I’m going to get my trimmer around tomorrow. Any advice about the glitter would be great. I’m going to be honest, all I see is nits.

So after a very busy 8 hour work day I got hoodwinked into helping my trimmer finish his trim - 3 hours it took. Omg those tiny buds! Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Me this morning: I still think she is the most beautiful plant I’ve ever seen. And her waterfall of cascading popcorn buds gives me life!
Me this arvo: OMG FUCK THIS! I could seriously burn it. Fuck you popcorn buds! It’s like a never ending waterfall of despair! This is KILLING me!
There are some nice buds, nothing extraordinary tho. In fact they were quite short in length but they are as dense as a brick. And that popcorn shit at the bottom was awful. We ended up putting a stack of the popcorn in the trim, just coz we were losing the will to live trimming it. My girlfriend who cooks with the trim will be stoked.lolllinggg.
I have no idea what she will weigh dry. I’m guessing 4oz. That seems to be my average per plant.

The 2 Carlas are looking just like they should- your training has been spot on!
branches in the center as there is with a plant grown from seed, but there will still be quite a few.
That's an excellent idea!
I think she'll fill in after the flip,when she starts stretching- since she's a clone, there may not be as many
branches in the center as there is with a plant grown from seed, but there will still be quite a few.
I'd say you can flip them anytime from here on in...

Just got to work no time to read @Carcass
Did you answer when I should flip I was thinking Sunday as in tomoz

Hi, Trala-
Tomorrow would be fine- when I grow photo plants, they're about that size when
I flip to 12/12- they'll probably end up only18-21 inches tall-which isn't a bad thing- I just jarred up 198g from a 17" plant.

The hole in the middle of Carla is advantageous because it provides some penetration to her insides and lets her air out her lady parts. Nice spread Trala. Could flip her now or let her grow up for a week or two in hopes of some bigger colas if you know she doesn't stretch a lot.
Lucky was lucky to have you taking care of her. She looks good, I'm glad u made it out of trim jail ok.

Thank you Carcass. That makes me feel so happy
Really? I'm trying to think of things I can use as weights and I've come up with rocks because I can use lighter weights for the thinner branches. I'm going to go and try and manufacture something. I'm nervous tho coz sometimes I have the worst ideas.
Just so I understand, I am continuing to keep the canopy low (the top). And as sprouts come up, I coax them towards the outside with my hooks. Is that right?
OMG Today is Sunday! So I'm flipping tonight!
My God this flip has come fast! I feel like they are still babies.

Thank you so much. It’s was nice having you cheer for her from the sidelines. She does look good and omg I’m glad to be out of trim jail too!
Happy Sunday, Trala!
I hope that makes sense- if not, let me know, and I'll try again
This part is kind of hard to explain, but I'll give it a shot...When you flip, you'll want to still hold the branches down, but let them grow upward beyond the point where they're tied down...and as the sprouts come up, you'll train them inward with your hooks, to fill in the center of the plant.

Its my Friday and I’m now head first into 3 glorious days off!
Carcass, I don’t think I understand. I have read it 3 times and I’m not really any clearer.
Do you mean double them back on themselves? I’m seriously not the brightest star in the sky when it comes to learning new things. If you have time could you please do a diagram?

So I got home from work and had a nice surprise. The guy I grow for bought me a new blue ceramic pot. I love order, so this makes me so much happier than mismatched sized pots.
I have started weighing the branches down with rocks, best part about it is they can be hidden inside the pots so they won’t swing in the wind and they can be repositioned so easily. I know they’re first world problems but I hate tying plants with those twisted wire things, like hate hate, zero joy.
I read many in here don’t trust the sky when it comes to watering, but I love it. Not in full flower mind, just in veg early to mid flower. I am my happiest me straight after a shower, when I’m clean and fresh, and if I go by looks, my plants are too.
I’m still very unsure how my plants will turn into level stacked bosses that carcass grows, but as I have said before, I am loving the process.
I am not yield driven. I would rather less bud and a beautiful plant. So far they are looking good. They continue to be a healthy shade of green. Mild to moderate nit infestation, and they have new shoots every day. Oh an omg that green tie I used has grown into C3’s plant flesh and I can’t get it out! Should I reef it?

I'm a crappy artist, so lets try this:
All the branches marked in blue are the ones that were re-directed to the center of the plant, so yes, some of them are doubled back on themselves, but most were just allowed to grow upwards after the flip, and they sort of naturally fill in the blank spaces in the center of the plant. I just train them so they're fairly evenly distributed, and so they don't get in each others way.(this is the SSH skeleton)
You may end up having to supercrop a few of them, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it...
Just leave it, it won't hurt a thing!

Thank God it’s the weekend!
Because mine are monstercropped/veg clones I’m never going to get the beautiful symmetry you get so I’m going to have to try and really trick my plants.
So I’ve had a fiddle and is this what you mean? Bend them back and secure them with a hook?
And will a bud grow at every one of these sites?
Yep, that's the idea! You can also wait till they grow upward a bit, and then direct them to where you want them to be- either way (or a combination of both) should work fine
And yes, each of those tops will be a bud, hopefully a big one...that's the main thing we're going for here- to get all the tops at apx. the same height across the whole canopy.
Have a great weekend, Trala!

Have you got a pic of that side on?
I have concerns I’m making my branches too low. Like almost at ground level.
