My First Grow - Stealth Box

This was the sketchiest week so far. As mentioned I flipped to flower way too late and my stretch was more than I expected. I wasn't sure how much I would bend and tuck without breaking and let things go too far. Some of my main colas were eventually touching the light and got burned very bad. I had to cut off some of the best bud sites which is going to hurt the yield a lot. Next time I will be training, topping and scroging much more aggressively also flipping to flower much earlier. I spent some time with garden wire and tried to pull the plants down as much as I could. I've also now been weaving and tucking things underneath one another, etc. I feel I'm still a bit too close to the light but there is not much I can do now. The plants are drinking a ton of water and I wish I had a bit more dirt to add as it's not full enough, however my garden store is closed in lockdown. Next time I will buy 2 bags to be on the safe side. I've learned a ton so far this grow and now I'm so excited for my next! The plants are not dead yet and seem to be flowering so I can't complain for my first grow! Hope my diary helps someone else who is using a smaller stealth box for their first grow. Any tips or advice please let me know!
