I let my plant possibly grow too tall for what my grow space can accommodate!!

[TF Leary]

My white widow plant in a 3 1/2g container has been begging for 2 months. I am about to switch to 12/12. Measured the height of the plant and it measured 27". My light has a max height of about 5'. I had my last grow, of the exact same WW under a trellis and the flowering stretch didn't seem to make more than about a 9" increase. Would putting a trellis over this plant be my best bet or will I likely be ok just going with what I currently have....the plant does have a tomato cage around it.

trellis is a good idea, or you could top, or you could supercrop (pinch/bend over stems), or build a new house.

K, Thx...I'll have to think a little on which method id like to go with but I'm pretty sure it'll be one of those.

i'd go with trellis. you can just keep bending the branches down and along the net as they grow. it's like cheating.

when this happens to me, i just supercrop because i am lazy.

Super crop or trellis either or I super crop in flower all the time running silica is best tho if you do supercrop if not trellis and you'll have no issue

That's probably the route I'll take. If I go ahead switch my light schedule, can I add the trellis at like a week into flower without harming or stressing my plant too much?

i'm sure you could, but it's probably better to do it sooner than later.

I made a net out of small pvc and twine to combat this problem. I ended up tie strapping down to the net.

Well, actually, he's the opposite of The Man, but..

You get it.

I would put her in a bigger pot. I personally use 20 gallon, but 10 would be better. Then scrog that girl.
