This plant is way to tall
Noahbearstarted grow question 2 years ago
I am growing in a basement and one of my Sativa plants is over 5 1/2 feet tall. I can move the light another 4-5 inches up- but that's it. I was worried about this plant so I flipped her a few weeks ago- and boy did she stretch. I am scared shitless of topping her.

Hi Noahbear,
I wouldn't top her.
If it is in the beggining of pre flowering I would do some super cropping (HST) . Link below

If it's too far into flowering I would just LST away from the light.
Good luck, it's lucking good ;)

Never cut your plant at all after flipped to flower, except for large fan leaves that cover buds, if anything. When in flower, the plant doesn't work on branching or creating much foliage and is focused on making inflorescences (buds).
What you can do to reduce height is to use LST, low stress training. Use gentle twine or nursery string to bend the branches down.
You can also use supercropping, which is when you squeeze the stem, and bend the stem down at 90 degree angle without breaking the bark of the stem.
Here's a link with more info:

dont top her, use some gardent stakes and some wire, gentle bend her away from the light. right now you can up a net or something, and basically control the height really well

Growing to fast?Is there such a thing as the plant growing too fast? It has quadrupled its height in as many days causing it to sort of flop to the side. The leaves are getting bigger but nowhere near the rate that it's growing taller. Is this normal for strawberry cough? #newtothis

I feel like this one is getting out of control I think bad gene from problem early and slow flowering?
Any suggestions of what I can do?
I want to wait and see how it turns out even if whispy bud but not if it's going to be at a detriment to the others they are smelling lovely

Plants too tall in back row.The plant's in the back row are too tall.
We cut the tops of the trellis boxes off about 18 inches.
Even with LST I still think they're too tall.
With the plants in pre-flowering (10 days)
should we cut the top of the plants off or is this a bad choice?
What do you recommend?Week 14

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)
