Zu hoch ! Was jetzt ?

Beginning of flowering week 4. Gorilla Glue from Seedstockers. What’s a good solution now? The maximum height of the lamp has been reached. I bend it down a bit every day with more or less success. Does anyone have a good idea, otherwise the plant will probably have to move into the tent!?

Since you have a tent to move her to, go ahead and move her. I just tried something like that myself, and it just doesn't work. The buds will get way fatter and then be so close to the light... The other colas are already not getting proper light. So if you can, give her a tent. I just did that with 50W as well. When you don't know the genetics, it's really hard to find the right height.

Good news is that vege growth should be slowing down or stopping soon. (stem elongation and new leaf growth) So, having an idea about how much more growth remains will help the next step... Snap the stem about 6" below what you want maximum height to be. It may need support the first 24 hours, but will quickly heal. The top portion will curl back upward -- which is why ou want to snap it about 6" below max height. remaining vege growth impacts where you want to snap it too... if vege growth is continuing, snap a bit lower than currently necessary, so you don't have to do this twice. Weaken stem before snapping. It will damage vascular tissue, but should not sever it. IF the stems are too rigid to snap down without completely severing, this may not work for you. Rolling the stem between thumb and finger and weaken it and help bend it up without breaking it off. A little droop the first 24h isn't necessarily bad, but if you do it right, you can avoid the droop, too. This is stressful, so in future adjust how you do things to avoid this context. People usually flip to flower later than necessary, which results in an over-grown plant. If it is an autoflower and does this, you may need a trellis or soemthing to reduce vertical height with early low stress training.

You can at most do LST and tie them down, and maybe dim the light depending on the DLI. I had the same problem with my Nectar Drip grow. I saw it coming early and set up 3 nets after 3-4 weeks of flowering to keep tying them down. In the end, I had to dim the light a bit because the DLI got too high.
