You need to get it into a space that will accommodate it, that is a BIG auto!, are you absolutely sure it's an auto?, if it is you don't want to slow it down, you want it to finish. Has it formed flowers? If you can get that beast outside..................

Hey Mcloadie, it's a nirvana seed feminized auto with a thick main stalk and over 40 side branches it's covered in flowers and bud nodes it's growing so big because I planted it in a 5 gal. pot instead of a 2-3 gal. pot that would have controlled it's vertical growth (newbie mistake) it's growing in a closet with a built in shelf and bar that can't be removed I have about 7 more inches of space left. outside is not an option.
Is there any way you can get ahold of the top of the main and pull the whole thing down slowly....I mean day by day?

Do you mean tie ribbon or string to the top and slowly pull it to the side a little everyday? also you should smell this thing it has the whole apt. smelling like a candy store.
Yep, preferably some of that green 3/4" vinyl nursery tie stuff. Just pull it a little more each day, hold off when it's horizontal and it will lollipop, the branches and flowers will grow up to the light. This is called lst, or low stress training.

its about your only option to control your height unless you got another space to put her in normally its not required but in tight spaces im sure you wont be the first to lst I dont see where it can hurt if anything it will give some lower flowersites more light and fatten em up

Thank's a lot cnd420 I'm running out to the home depot garden center to grab some 3/4" vinyl tie-down, who would think that great growth would be a problem, I guess you can just call me Charlie Brown!
LOL, remember how you made this happen!
