Hi,
A bit of an emergency update, whilst removing leaves I snapped one of the plants, essentially topping it!
In order to maintain a consistent canopy I topped the other two plants to a similar height.
In fairness I had intended to top them, mostly as a learning experience but had chickened out.
I rotated the cool tube 90 degrees to give me more wiggle room to drop the light a few more inches, sorely needed after the toppings!
I'll know in a few days if they suffer but am fairly confident that they will be fine 🤞 topping is a common practice.
If I can find an extension cord for the light I'd love to move the ballast out of the tent so I can fit the SCROG net

I wouldn't worry too much about the accidental topping. It's happened to me before too and sometimes it causes the plant to beast out and grow even bigger than it would have grown without the accidental break.
Your plants are otherwise looking really healthy so there's no reason to think they won't shake off that early stress as if nothing even happened :)
and the last note... there's something special about that yellowish grow light glow you have for photographic quality, really gives me this nice warm fuzzy feeling looking at the photos ;DLooking good @cannaworms!
I think I'll have to keep them in veg a little longer than intended, at least another 2 weeks.
What I find odd with taking photos under the HPS is the strange lines, I'm thinking it's a frequency thing?
Ive done this a few times on accident. They are resilient and will bounce back quickly.
Thanks! So far so good, hard to say if they've grown much but certainly not deteriorated!
My plants usually take almost a week to recover from topping. Can’t wait to see what you do with this grow.
Best of luck getting your SCROG net up, hope they recover quick.
Thanks, I've had a quick look today and look like they're doing fine!
I completely forgot to ask about an extension cord when I went to town today
it is growing really good :D
Despite my best efforts to kill them!
They seem to be recovering well, I'll post an update in a few days 👍
