I need help with height issues.

  1. IMG_2920.jpeg IMG_2918.jpeg Hey stoners, can you help me out? I’m a first time grower, was gifted a setup and thought I’d give it a go. I decided on an indica auto flower. All is well 7 weeks in except the tent I’m growing in is too short (2x2x4). I LST’d throughout the grow and recently super cropped and installed a trellis. The light is as high as possible, no flower yet, and there is about 14” from the light to the top of the plant. Am I screwed? IMG_2920.jpeg IMG_2918.jpeg IMG_2920.jpeg

  2. Looking good. What makes you believe something is amiss?
     
  3. Running out of room…. Height
     
  4. Scrog...tons of info on the subject. I'd flip them soon if height is an issue. A scrog can hold back a leggy girl. Good method for height restricted grows.

  8. taller tent
    shorter plants
    Grow in a shorter planter.
    Flip into flowering at 3 weeks and layer of trellis netting.
    I flip in flowering at 4 weeks using clones.
    Go auto flowering strain and short small strains.
    train and trellis netting
     
  9. Think I just got a monster auto flower, idk
     
  10. Auto flowers generally start flowering by week 5. You were likely sent or gifted a photo-period seed. Change your light cycle to 12 on and 12 off and if it starts to flower you have been growing a photo sensitive plant, not an auto-flower. I'd do this ASAP if it were my plant, I don't see any sign of sex in your pictures. Maybe someone else does. You could be growing a male plant.

  11. At 7 weeks & autos??? 1 let it ride & hope they won't stretch much more, 2 keep tucking it UNDER the net, 3 add another net & that is your Alamo (line of last resort)??? :confused_2: Let us know & post some pics.:metal:
