Your light is either too far away or not strong enough.

Autos queries
Hi guys, have a question for all of you, I have so many tiny branches (one of the pic shows you exactly what I mean), shall I leave them or cut them all? I can cut them at this stage of flowering? Also, I bought Bloombastic by Atami, shall I give it now? Or when (in Autos)? Thx

She's too tall! Advice???
One of my girls is much taller than the others. I missed a branch during LST, if that isn't obvious lol. Any advice on how to handle this? She's getting way too close to the light.

Recover from tall seedlings
So I realized that my seedlings are pretty tall because of light deprivation. How much does this hinder? Do I follow the manufactures recommendation (30% @ 1ft) or increase it slightly (40%?) to compensate?

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY Space
My autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.
