How do you top a plant with nodes are not symmetrical?

[G-paS]

When the CF grew into the light, I bought a taller tent😄

Seriously though I did pick a node and sniped them. There wasn’t any space to bend anchor it.

Thanks @G-paS , unfortunately the only way to put in a taller tent would be to raise my ceiling, lol. It will all work out in the end

I know you said you were going to let these go but figured I would show you what I was talking about. Here are two that I topped yesterday morning using the method I explained:

Here is what the end result looks like:

I agree with @Mithridate chop the tops, plant em as clones

[DougDawson]

Not going to happen bud. I shut down for the summer so I don’t have to deal with equipment running in my home while I am up north in the woods. I did take some lower cuttings off the bushy plant yesterday which I may just send out to some fellow Canadians thought. Sorry to the rest of the world but I won’t send cuttings across the border.

If it was me, I would top it where ever I needed to for the base stature I wanted and then put some training clips on anything I thought needed to even out a bit more. I do have piles of various sized training clips I have 3d printed though, so that makes things a bit easier for my decision making heh.

[DougDawson]

Yeah, no training clips here I have looked at them but never picked them up.

[bassman5420]

I may need to send you a little care package to try out then heh.

[SensiBowl]

I always forget about 3d printed clips! Need to dust the ol thing off and print some for next run

[DougDawson]

@bassman5420

I may need to send you a little care package to try out then heh.

Be grateful and happy to try them out

[bassman5420]

Well send me your info and I can throw something together for ya bud

[DougDawson]

Thanks bud, that would be really cool of you.

[cannabissequoia]

Way too late to even that canopy out without some stress… I’d get another tent for the back 3.

[DougDawson]

Rofl, sorry but won’t be setting up a 4th tent to do a seed run. Would have to start throwing out furniture

[SensiBowl]

Just train the plants in to the shape of your furniture, problem solved.

I’ve never topped my plants, I just bend the main stalks and they had the same effects as toppings…here’s a picture of the main stalk of one of my grows…the main stalk tried to right itself and grew just like the other side branches…these plants are very very resilient folks.

[DougDawson]

This is what I will be doing. Problem is lack of space, the tent is really full so the bent branches will block light from others. I will make it work, I am certainly not against supercropping. This is the last one I did, it was a Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake auto.

[PhilCuisine]

I’ve also bend my mother plants because I have limited height space on my vegging section of my kitchen counter…I’ve bent my mothers more than a few times in these pictures…these Vietnam Thunder Fuck mothers are over 6+ months old…

I’ve also twisted the main stalks too, just for the hell of it…as I said pot plants are very very resilient…

[pine]

This won’t happen with Sour Bubble. The stalks will straight up snap in two. The stems are rigid but snap in two if bent too far.

[DougDawson]

@pine

The stems are rigid but snap in two if bent too far.

You need work and crush the inner stem before bending. May take a bit but no reason it won’t work with any strain IMO.
