I'm worried that my plants will grow too tall for their tent. Is there anything I can do about this?

Hello, For more room you can see how high the lights can go, get a bigger tent(but that's not always do-able. But to the plant, I would try to keep doing as much LST as possible to start it flat before hitting the screen. Then I would do some super cropping, where you'll pinch the tallest branches and slowly weaken their stem and slowly start bending it over, being very careful not to snap it. Being still in veg nows the time to try anything you can if height is a big factor in the grow. I know many people will say to be careful of any high stress methods because it's an autoflower, but your plant looks healthy and can handle a fair bit of stress without any negative effects. Otherwise you could start weaving through the screen as soon as it will reach and continue to weave the branches in and out and it'll keep things pretty low and even. Happy growing. ✌️

High Stress Training. Pot size as well dictates plant size. Bigger Pot = Big Roots = Bigger Plants

HST and let her stretch out in the net. And take the stretch into consideration when you plan the grow next time.

Hello, You could do some supercropping on it. Which is basically a pinch until the skin softens and then bend it sideways. It actually works very good, just be gentle and work slowly so you don't snap the branches. But even a break can be fixed. There's a product out there called Hulk....it will stop vertical growth...and boost the buds...but it is a pgr and many people are against that. But i have seen it used and it definitely does work for the purpose of stopping the plants getting too tall.

Yes you could be right 😂how low is that tent? 80cm? I would flip to 12/12 flower as soon as, and if you use the net properly you should be good. 👍🌱
