Dropped the ball on this one :(

Well, I let my querkle go way too long before putting in flower and now I don't know what to do. She is only 4 inches below the hood (a 3'x3' hood) and just about takes up the whole 4'x4' tent. Should I get her out of the tent and go vertical grow? Tie her down? Trim her way the fuck back and make her even bushier? Or, should I move her outside and hope for a monster crop this year?

Outside is questionable - I don't have a place for her so I would feel like shit if someone finds her and takes her away

Any suggestions?

im mean to plants if it were me id supercrop everything about 1' down and tie it in place . i'd expect 1' of stretch that's why, don't worry, take action! maybe crop each one inward so they criss cross like fingers folded when you put your hands together

How old is it?

That is one 70's bush you got going. If you can't put her outside i'd start tying it down. Was she a revegged plant?

Time flies when your having fun: 5.5 months old

No, she was from seed... I had some problems with her and my entire indoor crop - the dreaded spider mites

I would honestly say that I am finding the use of CO2 is my preferred method for killing the little bastards. I flood the plants every 3 days to keep killing the bitches. Done it twice so far and I'm pretty happy with the results.

a really cool trick is to get some gardening twine, and some fairly heavy christmas ornaments or even a weight set, and hang them midway down your branches, doesnt harm the plant but will lower them till they eventually just grow naturally bent like that.

I've heard about the fishing weight trick but forgot about it... Might be a way to go

I never had good luck with the whole supercrop so I've been hesitant to keep trying - people are giving you the likes so I think maybe you got the right idea

I had a similar problem with Jillybean. Got a taller tent. But if that's not an option, then tie her down as much as possible and hope for the best. The weights/Xmas balls are a good idea...
