Northern Lightsout 1st Grow

Hello fellow Growers, week nine report is in and it's been crazy to say the least. This plant doesn't want to stop gaining height. I have such a small space to work with, and I am inexperienced grower and should have planned my grow better. This is my first grow and I thought I would make my fair share of mistakes, so I didn't think I would run out of head space, surprise...I did!! I started to notice my ladies developing heat stress so I made a stupid decision. I decided to super crop in flower and who knows what's going to be the outcome. Honestly, it's my first run ever, and my expectations were very low. I'll tell you though, I've had a blast so far and have learned so much in so little time because of GROWDIARIES and the insightful and experienced growers that I have had the privilege of learning from. Anyways, on a very positive note, I did not break one branch which makes me happy. Now I have experienced cropping technique, I just wish I had implemented sooner. We'll see how it goes I have my fingers crossed. So I lowered my PH this week. Please note I dropped it from 6.8 - 6.0 gradually, not in one shot but over the week. These were combined recommendations from Bulbi, and Valhalla which I very much appreciate. So the transformation is dramatic, go easy on me lol I did say I was a NOOBie!! Well looks like 2 different plants now. I tried to tie branches together to ensure the suckers stay down. I don't have time for plant games right now as I know their resilient and pop back up. Not when you're tied up baby, you're not going anywhere lol I water 2.5 days 5-6 litres. Now a PH 6.0. 18/6 Lights schedule. 45 RH / 76°. One thing to note is there wasn't much trichome production before cropping, but now it is noticeable. So this concludes this week. I don't know how she will respond but time will tell. Thanks for chiming in and as always. Happy Growing!!
