Too much stretching, too little space left.

Hi! I wonder if I can reduce stretching. It's too bushy in the middle and on the sides, lots of tiny branches receive too little light. Today I trimmed 5 lowest tiny branches that were touching the wall. Should I trim some more or give more light? It's about 540 PPFD 35,1 DLI.

Week 6
Plant. Too tall
Plant. Spaces between nodes

The taller colas I would bend 90deg to keep the height lower.

@DoctorGreenThumb with 18 hrs. schedule for auto 800 PPFD makes about 52 DLI. Do you think it won't get light stress?

Thanks for your help guys! I bended the top cola at 90 degrees. It's very flexible and I hope I did no harm. Reduced height for about 8 cm. Increased light to 600 PPFD. Will check how she's going in the next few days. Then I will continue trimming lower branches and some fan leaves that don't receive enough light.

I would turn the light up to 800-850 PPFD for now. Then in 2 weeks turn it up to 1000. I would also tie down the upper branch to make it even with the others. Cheers!

I would do what @Hashy said :) They will grow another week maybe two while also getting into flowering stage. If you don't do this then your colas beneeth the plant will never get alot of sunlight because you have your upper colas at a closer distance to your lamps. Goodluck growing :)

Eine schöne Lady hast du da!👌 Also ich persönlich würde eigentlich weiter so verfahren, wie du bereits beschrieben hast. Die kleinen Zweige schön sauber halten und schauen, dass die keine an der Zeltwand anliegen. Zudem würde ich Die untersten Blätter, welche schon fast auf dem Substrat aufliegen entfernen. Aus dem mittleren, sehr buschigen Bereich würde ich einige der grossen Fächerblätter entfernen. So erhöhst du die Lichtausbeute in diesem Bereich und sorgst für eine bessere Belüftung. Dabei würde ich jedoch langsam vorgehen. Sehr langsam. Entferne einige der grossen Blätter, dann würde ich sie einige Tage Ruhen lassen. Und das über mehrere Tage hinweg wiederholen, bis der Bereich entsprechend ausgedünnt ist. Aber schön langsam vorgehen. Sodass ihr nicht zu viel Stress auf einmal zugemutet wird. Und nur die grossen Fächerblätter😄 Das wäre so meine Idee 🤔😅
