First Timer: Lithium OG Kush Autoflower

The stretch is real. I laid down a trellis, but I would hardly call what I did "ScrOG". The net was mostly used to assist LST. Colas were spread as well as I could and some of the taller ones were bent pretty severely. Starting to panic about height at this point and I'm contemplating pulling the filter and exhaust outside the tent to give me another 8" or so. Facing the possibility of a four to six week flowering and the holidays quickly approaching, I change light cycle to 12/12 in a desperate attempt to speed up the finish. I don't know if this did anything but hurt my yield. Defoliation and leaf tucking continues on a near daily basis.
