Hello again all,

Well 3 weeks later and I could use some help with a situation I've got going on. I think that I know what needs to be done, but I'd like a double check. When I first posted 22 days ago, it was in regards to my plant being fairly sickly. Well it was also mentioned in that thread that my wife brought home a 2nd plant, a clone that I still don't know much about other than some dude didn't want to grow it. It was estimated that she was a couple weeks behind my plant.

They are both flipped and starting their 2nd week of flower

Anyways, this 2nd plant is pretty gangly, I have been really focused on my other plant that my sister gave me so I've been letting it do it's thing over there. Yesterday was pretty normal, both in the prayer position all day. I knew they needed water this morning or tomorrow at the latest, but I came home today to this.

My older (?) plant looks way behind by comparison, and she hasn't stretched anywhere close to as much as this other plant, and now this other plant appears to be budding

For comparison, my older plant is about 2" above those side-rails in the tent.

I suppose the question is, starting the 2nd week of flower, can I safely cut those apicals just before lights out tomorrow night and even these canopies out, or am I past that point? I know that plant needed pruning and better care a while ago, but she never wanted to bush out so I was kind of waiting for that to happen, and well here I am.

Hello all,

So this is my first plant. She was sprouted and given to me by my sister at about 2-3 weeks old. I had NOTHING ready, this was a surprise. I have been reading, watching, buying all the things to try and learn as much as I can as fast as I can while this girl has been on a stress-coaster. Her first week or two was just in our front room, so she stretched quite a bit. (Pic looking like a palm tree)

I moved her into a tent, and it has been a nightmare trying to learn and balance her environment. Right now she's in a 5 gallon bag with Coco-Loco, auto pot. Keeping her at a VPD of 1.0-1.1, soil runoff was 6.2 with a cheap ph meter. I have not tested EC, waiting for calibration solution. She has been in the tent for a couple of weeks now, and she has bushed out a bit more. Temperature at her leaves is 71-72 at a low, 77-78 at the high before cooling. Vivosun 200w luma light at 80%.

I think I'm stuck in a micro-management state, where I'm really obsessing over every little thing, she reacts one way so I'm trying to understand what she is telling me, so I try to correct, she gets less happy, so I try to correct some more and it seems like it's not healthy for her or me. Could I get a little bit of help with how she is looking and any constructive critisism?
