Bend Her Over?

Hydronaut
Hydronautstarted grow question 2 years 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.
