Plants getting real bushy. They’re generating lots of energy through their large leaf surfaces. Which is good I guess. However it seems to me they’re growing out of space. Should I do something now or just leave them? I don’t want to run into a problem during crucial flowering.

absolutely,,,, she will provide from toppping first, then let her grow more and opening the canopy in using LST. you may find the techincs that work for you.. finding your style, just try one thing in every grow.... and look if it works for you.. i do it like that,,,,, topping the plant after seeing 4 or 5 nodees... then topping again and let her grow... starting LST then flipping to flower if iam fine with the structure and watching her after i see flowers, i use saupercropping... iam looking to be ready with traing if week 3 of Fower starts.. from this point on just taking away somme leaves, cleaning bottom area taking away small shoots

thx @ORGANOMAN I don't apply defoliation then. One thing that worries me is possible mold because of too high RH & wet spots caused by too dense foliage left on upper canopy. I will keep a close eye on that. Luckily I have 2 fans blowing at the plants at low speed + using CANNACURE spray as a preventive measure. This should lower the chances of being attacked by pests.

I would suggest "lollipopping", but not defoliation. Your plant needs every single healthy green leaf it has, to make the energy needed for your plants to grow their biggest and best flowers. Just remember, - maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth and maximum health. Apart from "lolipopping", I would just leave them, any LST should have been performed earlier, however your tent is rather crowded, so I guess there is not much free space for performing any training anyhow. Hope this helps,........... Organoman.

Thx @Spacecadet55 that sounds like a plan. I let them continue for 2wks & then defoliate as well as clear the bottom part of the plants. If the canopy is too uneven I will apply supercropping. One thing to note is that this CBD strain is ready to harvest after 6-7 weeks and I might have to response earlier in comparison to average strains.

They will double in size over the next 2 weeks . Usually around day 18 of flower I will leaf strip and lollipop underneath. After that not much maintenance is required . The first couple of weeks of flower they're still in veg mode transitioning into full flower . So if you want any maintenance doing , do it in this first few weeks of flower. After that they need to be left so they can concentrate on bud production. Keep an eye on your height as you can supercrop if they get too tall. But your time is limited now you have switched .
