Plants way too tall!!! Please Help??

I'm runnig out of space in my grow tent cos i've been too cautious at each stage and the girls dont seem to be slowing down any?

3 weeks into 12/12 with skunk no 1, first grow, and am in trouble. any ideas how can i recover the situation anybody?

please guru's i need your divine guidance

thank you,

GMC

should have scrogged that, your gonna hit the lights, you can bend the stocks down till you see a little water come out of the stock and hold for a few seconds, sometime they crack so be careful, best of luck they look super healthy

the stretch should be done with by now if not it be v soon, if needed bend over tops and tie down although u aint got much room to do that

Supercrop the shit out of them. Make sure you bend branches strategically so that the plant isn't too heavy on one side or the other. Or you could simply take all the top to-be kolas off of the plant(which can serve as clones) to make a shorter more even canopy of buds. yes you wont get the monster single kola but you will have lots of decent sized buds and some clones ready for flower by the time you harvest

Make a decision soon otherwise you will end up with burnt leaves.

2-3 weeks into flower is when i clone, prune, and supercrop for maximum bud growth so now is the time!

Good luck!

Cool, thank you.

have hung some weights on but the girls are strong!

Have just done a fair bit of homework (a little too late!)on scrogging and am definately going that route next time!!

Thanks for the water tip but when you say stock??

i guess thats the stem but how far down/up should i apply a little persuiasion?

i know, it's so sad to see them so beautiful but so perilously close to the light.

i do hope they've stopped stretching.

Anyone know about lighting or nute tactics to stunt height? i'm in the uk so not sure i can get bushmaster which i've read about??

The truth comes to light.....

Seems that the bloomin timer mucked up and the girls have been on 18/6 this whole time!!!

Spoke to the shop and gonna cut back and then add a flower hormone. Should squeeze 2 weeks if flowering into a couple of days??

I'll let you all know what happens....

Doh!

flower hormone = scam

Get a net and stretch it out over your grow and tie down the corners...that'll keep everything in check

how high is your tent?

Can you bend the tops over so as not to stress any of the ladies?

2m but the flood and drain system takes up a good foot and a half. Stuff I was told about is similar to bushmaster?

I had a plant do this. I just moved it over to the corner. It ended up being WAY taller than the light. It towered a good 3 feet above the other plants. It looks silly. I am harvesting it tonight or tomorrow. It is kandy kush.

yes hit them with bushmaster and they will stop dead in their tracks they will not grow any taller but will start to bush out

It gets worse......

Turns out the light has been on 24 hours a day getting a 12 hour rest once a week!!! It's turning into a fucking car crash!!!

Anyway, that little moment of girly panic aside, and on the advice of the shop, the girls have had 12-18 inches off the top. Gonna give em 20 hours a day to help them bounce back then do the bushmaster type stuff and drop to 12/12. Keeping the nutes at cf of 20 for the mo???

The shop I have to say have been very good so far and given great advice and allowed us to get to having a few lovely, if huge, plants. I've screwed up all on my own!! I called them in a panic looking to buy loads of cooler lighting and they wouldn't let me Explained the bushmaster stuff was expensive but worth it's weight in gold? I don't think they are trying to scam us as someone said earlier?

Anyway, that's the current sit rep and I'll keep checking in?

Experience is a great teacher huh...

WOW Most people cry that the plants are to small lol. Tie them fuckers down and hope for the best. You have a good two weeks of growth and no matter what magic dust they give you the plants are still going to strech a bit.Are they all fem seeds?

The stuff is rox flower enhancer which has a hormone in it apparently?

Guy at the shop said he'd used it and it works and recommends half dose?

I think I'm a fairly good judge of character and I get a good vibe from my shop. Don't think they're scammers at all?!
