Plant too tall : Reduce light time exposure ?

PurpleWorship
PurpleWorshipstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hey ! My Blackbery Auto (@fastbuds), week 7, took 30cm in one week. She will be too tall soon, for my indoor grow tent. Should I : - Reduce light time exposure. (19h -> 12h) ? - Give up, see this like a positive thing, and just put her outside to do what she want :D ?

Zoomed in on those pics -- seem okay on spacing.. may have to supercrop this time. Do you have experience with this strain of auto? that'd help guesstimate how much growth is left. The budlets are showing, so i'd guess 7-10 days left of growth? better to do that now than later in bloom... so, err on the side of safety.

@nobody01 @basementganja Oooof guys you are scaring me :S That's my first grow ever... Supercrop (pinching !?) is realllly stressfull for me, i really don't want to ruin it 😖 I can't get lights closer, i'm already at the minimal light to plant distance, 30cm. (recommended by the light manufacturer, for the flowering period). I may be abble to win some height by fixing the light differently... But if she grow 30cm more, I'll be fucked !!

Reducing light will only make it stretch more If internodal spacing is long, get lights closer.

Reducing the light schedule will increase stretching. You could supercrop her to a more manageable height - around 3/4 the way up from the bottom, where her trunk starts to get thinner.
