So last year we scored a BC Northern Lights Bloombox in a storage unit we bought. it was 99% complete and instead of re-selling it, we decided to give it a try to "make sure it functions properly" lol. so i started a 3 strain grow which includes 2-white widows, 1-jack herer, and 1-o g kush x sour diesel. everything has been going well according to all the info i have managed to retain before starting this venture. i kept them in veg till the smallest one (jh) was approx 5 inches tall the ww were about an inch taller and the kush diesel was about 9 inches and about 3x the size of the others! that was at about 3-4 weeks from starting them from seed. they have been in flower now since the beginning of the new year-everything is going great BUT the kush diesel is a fricken freak of nature. this thing has bushed out and grown up to just be a beautiful enormous plant! it has more mass than the other 3 combined and i couldnt be more pleased. problem is ive only got about 14-18 inches before it will reach the top of the box. i tie it and bend it about twice a week but it literally takes 6-8 hours for everything i have tied and bent down to turn back up towards the light. ive got so much hemp twine tied to this thing its starting to look like a ball of string lol.
QUESTION-How much longer should i expect this thing to climb before it mellows out and starts packing on bud weight. ive tried to count how many tops i can see but i lose count at about 25-30!! this box has and does everything for you lites and t-5s on timer, water on timer and drip emitters, CO2 regulated by sensor to stay between 1200-1600 PPM constantly fans for exhausting ballast heat and fan to push air thru the can filter as well as a small fan to move the plants around inside the box. all i have to do is change the water once a week and feed them. the box is designed to flower 9 plants but it is highly doubtful that i could do more than 4 of the kush/diesel at a time. im following the BC Norhtern feeding schedule and adjusting the numbers by slightly less than 50% as i am only feeding a family of 4 as opposed to 9 Found that out week 1 when i didnt think about it and got some yellow spotting on the lower leaves. once i made the adjustment they just took off. any help or input would be greatly appreciated i got a feeling im gonna be wrestling this thing till the end
