Is it 40cms from the base of the pot to the top of the plant? Does that leave you 30cms to the ceiling? I assume you have the light fitting as high up as possible. At least it’s not hps lighting. Has your plant finished stretching? Perhaps you could top her? Someone else will have to give you advice there. I wouldn’t be comfortable suggesting a course of action that seriously shocks or even kills your plant. Could you transplant to a longer, trough style pot that has the same volume but is shallower. Thus reducing height. You may have to face buying a tent setup like I had to. My cupboard was too small and had bad air circulation. The best decision I could’ve made!

Shes 40 cm from bottom of the stem (pot not included). Yes light as high up as possible. I don't know if she's done stretching. I hope so lol. She's an auto plan and I read sometimes they stretch 40% during first week of flowering. She did stretch A LOT yesterday but today seems to be taking a break thank god lol i did some light definition yesterday and tied the top crown a bit down to the side. But still the main stem is much taller than he the rest of the branches. There is also a smaller branch at the bottom, which i think won't be carrying any bud, wondering if I should snip it off??

First Time GrowerI’m first time grower and would like some help on choosing my first seeds. I’m doing an indoor grow, LED lights, Soil Medium, prefer high yielding and high thc, feminised as well.
I’m planning on doing LST and using a SCROG to allow a higher yield.
Thank you :)Setup. Seeds

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

To LST or No LST?Does practicing LST on autoflowers actually increase your yield? I ask this because I look at people who grow without any training at all and they seem to have way more bud sites. I prefer an answer from someone who has experience growing both ways. Thanks
