    hello, i just found out that my biggest plant is getting way to big for my box, do you think i can bend a plant with 1 meter (3 feet) tall and as thick as my pinkie????

    i woudl say no, maybe top it off? If your going to LST you gotta start early

    i tought about toping it off, but she is already into flowering...for like 10 days...and the biggest bud is on the toping place LOL
    what if i bend it but only slightly in order to put her against the walls of the closet??is that possible?

    Yeah... You can try bending it a little, but be gentle. Try not to have it pressed against anything, also.

    I wouldn't do it right after watering. She'll be a lot less liable to snap if she's a little dry.

    sure you can bend it. if you wanted to you could bend it over and let it crease/snap. by the next day, the top will be pointing back towards the light.

    true. hadn't thought of super-cropping. dunno if i'd do it almost 2 weeks into flower but i guess it would beat having your main cola burn up in the light.

    ok I read allot here and I remember seeing a post or maybe a reply by Dierwolf saying to rub the plant for a little while right where you want to bend it, it will get warm and assist with the bending then very carefully bend it over, I dont want to quote and I cant remember eactly what he said but maybe you can find it, Or just maybe he will see this and correct me as I have MJ memory....LOL
    Gluck buddy..

    hello again thanks for all the help, i still dont know what to do with her, guess ill try super cropping, i tried to bend her a bit, and i actually did, but i heard a snapping noise just after, is this noise you mean, or snapping for you guys is really snapping???(im portuguese lol)
    i cant let her dry cause she is in a bucket that has dirt and below a water reservoir...only in a few days shell be dry :p

    anyway she is pressing a bit agains the walls in the grow room...is this very bad?
    well heres a pic of her

    ill try to supercrop the shit out of her if she continues to grow, and keep you guys posted, maybe ill find a new method to have 20gram buds lol

    do i crush the main stem only or every stem??

    The HPS is best for flowering, but a MH will do until your HPS arrives.
