Plant still stretching
Newbie87started grow question 9 months ago
Plant still stretching before lights out & has grown another 10 cms in less than 24 hour's. I put the light to 50 cms as advised & dimmed the light from 60% to 50%. Very concerned I'll run out of space if she keeps growing like this. I only have 20 cms left to raise the light.

High, you can bend the plant down carefully to win some space. And if that is not enough then you need to supercrop the plant. There are many articles on the internet how to do this without breaking the stem. I can tell you but it is easier to watch a video about it to fully understand the concept.
But I woulf start with just bending the main stem down CAREFULLY. You can bend it a bit further everyday. You do not need to bend it in 1 time just do it in small steps to prevent that you break the main stem.
Goodluck and enjoy!

Agree to up the light intensity and tie down the tallest colas to even things out.

If your trying to stop it from stretching your gonna want to up the light intensity, not lower it.

Sehen sie gesund aus oder spargeln sie zu sehr?Hallo das ist mein erster Grow Versuch mit 3x Cookies Gelato Automatics, bis jetzt sind sie nur ziemlich in die Höhe gewachsen so das ich gestern nochmal Erde nachgegeben habe um sie etwas zu stabilisieren. Die Blätter kommen langsam aber ich Frage mich ob es soweit gut aussieht?

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)

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

To much stretch can I send her to flowerI've planted a feminized cream and cheese that outside began a bad stretch from poor sunlight. I moved inside put more dirt now again its top is to heavy. Can I start 12 and 12 sending it to flower before it's to big? Its 5 to 6 weeks in veg already.

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

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
