Bend Her Over?
Hydronautstarted grow question a year ago
Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?

I wouldn't bend yet... I think you've got enough room left... most of my grows, when I only had a total of 60" in a tent, got to within a couple of inches from the lights. That being said, it will depend a lot on your lights, their strength and what the plant is telling you. I accidentally super-cropped in the late stages of flowering (my Tangerine Dream) and it didn't affect the plant... but it's not something I would intentionally do. But when push comes to shove, and you MUST, try it with only one stem and she how she reacts.. if there's no reaction, go ahead but don't do all of the stems at once.... that WOULD be too much stress.
Good luck!

With how well she is growing I'd be tempted to bend the colas so you don't run out of height in your grow. She looks healthy and growing vigorously.

I would probably wait to see if your plants start experiencing any signs of light burn and then maybe start with those stem bending clips just to limit the amount of stress as much as possible.
Hope this helps.

Looks like you can still bend the tops back more with out doing a super crop. Stretch is almost over. Best of luck looking great!

What Granny said, normally I'm ok with supercrop on autos however you are right around bulk this will disturb yields at this point. Height vs heat if it's to hot near the light just add air flow.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,
