My tent is the same height. Here's what my tent looks like now with the plant front and center being just over 18" from soil to the tip of the tallest top. I already have the timer set, going to close it up tonight and it's 12/12 from now until harvest.

Well that seems short. Bummer

[FunkyButtLovin]

10+4+18= 32 Your tent is 78" tall so after deducting 32" from 78" you're left with 46" or nearly 4 feet but yes you're still going to be limited to flipping at around 18" or so and even then you might get in trouble with some sativas if you don't stay on top of them and have a plan in case they get out of hand.

Got my new light ystrdy, doin the math & I don't think I did it right.... or did I?
6.5ft tall tent with 10in tall pots, 4" for the light which needs to be 12-18" above the canopy...... leaves only 3ft for plants? & if they are gonna double when flipped to 12s I only get 1.5ft of veg to grow budsites???

I definitely think it should be a grow journal!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to read that again- Mr Furley is a genius.

Yes moved and sometimes culled (branches growing out from the underside of a stem)

when I am manifolding (training in general) i am picking the branches that I want to grow, and trimming the rest. Manifolding, is a lot of manipulation (juggling the tops), trying to keep the 'should be main tops' lower than the other tips

You want a plant manipulation rabbithole, see fluxing

And of course Mr.furley has a thread

Nice. Ok farming or nursery work- now that's a comparison I can relate to lol. Thanks everyone 👍 I guess this is kinda turning into a grow journal so I guess I'll let ya know how it's goin now n then. Thanks again everyone -for everything!!

JDU If I understand your question properly, "Yes, you'll need to adjust as you grow. Some branches will grow more robustly than others." No different for cannabis than it is for the fruit trees I grow.

[JDU]

That still didn't directly answer my question but the line 'the grower consistantly manipulates & ties down the limbs to maintain level' kind of suggests that it don't really matter where they start- they're gonna be moving as I need them to move???

[JDU]

Thanks 👍

I think it makes the colas bigger by taking off starts that are going to be branches.

[JDU]

.... An energy boost/growth spurt that might be better served as flowering starts?

[Eliot Pryor]

I think if you take them off the plant uses the energy into the tops.
