    Default Bend & top or no?

    Hi peeps,

    My latest grow is 8x cheese from seed, in soil, organic grow hps.

    Only had 8 seeds so had to use them all.

    They're a mixed bunch of sizes, one v small and one a bit sensitive to the nitrogen.

    I wanted to bend and top them to increase yield but might have left it a bit late - they are about 5 weeks old.

    What do you think, go natural xmas tree or bend and top?

    Thanks,
    DT

    I would top the 4 larger plants,that will allow the smaller plants time to catch up.

    You can top and bend them, What size pot are they in? Looks A little small to me.

    Thanks everyone, seems pretty unanimous, train them I shall. They are photos and I will be moving them up to 20l fabric smart pots to finish.

    Scoot I was thinking the same thing about topping the taller ones first to level them out a bit.

    Thanks again peeps

    8 plants can fill a lot of space do you have enough light for plants that will be maybe 3 X's larger? Depending on the light you have 8 may be to many.

    I would cut the taller ones down by half and top the rest so there all the same height, pull all the side shoots down so you will have a level canopy, try and aim for 6 main shoots on each plant, remove all the other side shoots on each plant, nows the time to get every plant looking the same, as you flower the plants off you can pull the taller shoots down, keeping all the shoots level.
