No I don't love autoflowers and I don't grow them. I prefer more control over my plants.
Yeah I never grew them always did photos. Wanted to try them out and see how it went first run wasn’t terrible this is second run and it’s like wow so much difference in the same strain it’s wild to me for sure.

Bend it over?
The other ones are flowering and they're only 6" tall. You missed out on alot of veg time growth due to mistakes you made during that time. I always look at autos like a pie chart. If you do everything 100% (basically not possible) then you get the full pie. Every mistake made, or everything done not in the most ideal way takes a slice - be it small or large, away from the pie. In the end you could be left with most of a pie, or just a few burnt crumbs depends on your performance.

Just tilt the pot. Bonsai!

"Don't over think it". LMAO.

I don't love them. But an enjoyable muse as I await my loyal girls.

I ran some autos beside my photos this last grow and just ran them under my scrog net until they started to show snowball buds then I just let them grow up I didn’t top or anything like that but you can definitely train them I just hate them as you don’t have any control

Photo period plants will do this too, it's called phenotypes. You should have been dealing with this way before it ever got to this stage. We all learn as we grow, just don't blame the auto flowers for you not knowing how to train a plant that stretched. It should have been cropped, topped or tied. Maybe all three depending on when the growth spurt occured. Just learn to control the height of your plants and read them better and you'll be good. In the meantime, throw some bricks under the shorties, 88 cents a piece, or a cinder block if you want 8" of height.
