Main Stem To Tall! Help?

  1. Hey guys hope everyone is well, Can anyone help me make my main stem stop growing lol
    The rest of the branches and my other plants seem fine in growth its just that 1 main stem.

    I did not do 2 much LST so i guess this is the result of that, I brought up my light as far as it goes. She is about 33in tall(!!!) and only about 14 inch away from the light so i am nervous it might burn as i am already dealing with that (and twisted leaves) as i mentioned on my first thread here Twisted new growth.

    Right below is my current setup thanks for the help.

    Zkittlez auto flower week 6
    Soil- Top layer of Happy Frog and bottom layer of Ocean forest with some extra perlite inside a 5gal fabric pot.
    Tent is 27x27x64in
    Lights is a Mars Hydro 1000(will look to upgrade after my first grow)
    18/6 Schedule
    Plenty of Air circulation inside the tent also.
    FF Trio(fed for the first time during week 5, the leaves were like this prior to feeding.)
    Feed-Water-Feed is my schedule at the moment.
    PH Tap water going in at 6.5-6.7 but runoff has been low at 5.7-5.9 even tho I did a flush so im still working on this.

  3. How is that done? Sorry I know I can look in YouTube and all that but I’d rather know the correct way of doing it by asking you. Thanks

    Squeeze the stem where you want to bend it with your fingers until it's somewhat soft and flexible.........then just bend it over at a 90 degree angle.

    Good luck.

  9. I've done that several times and each time it was fine. I use a pair of needle nose pliers with the jaw wrapped in masking tape.
