New Grower G14 and AKR

Tuck the fan leaves that are horizontal in the picture, that will help the new growth at the nodes really get out in the light. Looking really good otherwise!

I'm trying to tuck them but they don't seem.long enough to tuck under the next fan leaves down. I'm new at this so maybe I'm doing it wrong idk

You can even do without the clips and ties by simply tucking the leaf behind the foliage you want to expose to the light, just be delicate so as not to damage any of that precious growth because it will be your bud. Either way you go it will be a great help to your end result.

Looking great nice healthy plants! I second what Mord said or I would lst it, if you want a good lst guide I've got a video in my thread can get the supplies (Pipe cleaners and Clothpins) for $2 at Dollar Tree. I wish I would have lst'd all mine I was going to but forgot, get a lot more yeild it is amazing how much more tops it unleash's and I like the even canopy but personal preference.

How do I get to your videos lol

The ties will work better until the plants have grown a bit more most likely. Once the fans have longer stems on them you can tuck them easier.

Dam that was fast you live next door to dollar tree or you were prepared? lol yeah just like that looks great! she will grow back a bit just keep anchoring her down a little bit then eventually you can kind of separate each leaf and tie those down which will expose all the tops is what happend with mine have some pics in thread, I was a bit sketched too but they are pretty bendy just don't want to do it too late like in flower when there really stiff also it is good to do it before watering when they are kinda limp but not a must.

Don't be scared, I broke stems on my second and third grow and the plants did fine. Just tell them nice things, play them badass music, and keep the stems exposed to light and air flow and everything will grow just fine. And I second what @bhaskara_phoenix said about bending stems later in flower, and super cropping would really scare you if the ties are sketchy now lol My best advice would be wait and use silica after stretch, if you plan to, because it really helps the stems get woody and stiff, which is good to help support heavy colas, but you want flexibility when they are younger to keep everything stretched out how your space allows.

Well here they are. I'm sure they are pissed at me cut em up, and bent em over lol. I'll feel better tomorrow seeing growth lol.
