Plant too big for growbox
minigrowwstarted grow question 4 years ago
Long story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.

Imo, twist, bend and maneuver some of that. Don't chop tops.
BUT even before that, look if stretches more in the next few days (since you posted that 2 days ago, that'd be now, so yeah maybe I'm too late with this comment).
It's BARELY gonna stretch more than that at that stage, from most plants I've seen.

care with what are you gonna do, plant flowering doesn't handle hard training the same way veg plant does.
Your plant might climb a little more, so keeping the plant that way could compress her to the top or walls.
What you could do is sacrifice tops, and keep the middle buds. It has plenty time to go fatter on the middle, without loosing quality.

You could try supercropping each branch . But only if there is still some play left in the branches and they haven't hardened yet. As it can be easy to snap them at this stage . Squeeze the stem and bend down.
If no other option than to kill it, dare I say it ? But you could Snip the tops offs 😷

Too Tall Too Quickly - How to slow this down?Following grower's advice, I chose not to top my autos.
When buying the seeds initially, I tried to buy only strains that were said to grow up to medium height.
Towards the end of week 5 and my Blackberry Gum is 90cm high.
How can I slow this down without affecting yield?
TIA

Any way to save my clones, and have healthy clones from these? I took these about 7 weeks ago and life got ahead of me. The plants these are from are greatI took these clones 7 weeks ago and never got around to transplanting them. As you can see, they are rootbound, stretched, and stunted. My question now is, is there any way I can make these clones usable? If not, it's a lesson for next time, but I want to use these clones.
