    Hey guys. I have 2x green crack plants in veg. 5gal pots, automated watering setup. Growing under 3x 288 lights. I decided to start watering 2x a day for the last week or so. I’ve had some much more growth. I had LST a few weeks ago and my plants had grown. I ended up pulling out the pins and moving them right to the edge of the pot and branches. To get more light in.

    Should I tie them back more?

    My plants have some branches hitting the walls should I trim the branch shorter so it don’t hit the wall?

    How much longer do you think I should veg?

    And I have a fair few fan leaves can I defoliate a few?

    Plants before re pinning them down.

    Plants after. You can see branches hitting the tent should they be pruned? Fan leaves?

    Oh I vote to give them a few days to try to adjust themselves... THEN decide.

    Yeah I wasn’t going to make any final decisions for a few days. Moving the pins and putting them back in the plants leaves twist and curl with stress for a few days then come good again. Same as transplanting them.

    Thanks mate. They look good today not much twisting or curling. How much longer do you think I should veg them for?

    Yeah I know it’s a “how longs a piece of string” question. I’ve got a 3x3x6 and they are only a foot high (on top of mesh) maybe so I do have some head room. Yeah my last grow stretched a fair bit. I’ll just keep an eye on them until the canopy fills most of the tent then I’ll flip.
