Getting too tall?

[Leotattoo420]

Can someone help me here?
This one lady is just a Britney Griener type.
What do I do with one plant growing so much taller than the rest?

Not that tall it's not even anywhere near the lights.

Let it grow. You'll be fine.

Super crop and lst

notice the new growth bulging out of the broken stem

And then 6 days later. Still green.just horizontal slows vertical growth

main cola on a different plant done 3 weeks into flower dated 4/26

and then photo of same cola yesterday morning, may 6

Second grow I’ve used this technique and I don’t think I’ll stop using it. I find super cropping very helpful, and if you don’t tear your stem in half it doesn’t really affect your yeild as the plant repairs itself vertical growth is slowed and the bottom shoots grow faster sort of like topping your plant. But this way you keep the cola growing just slow it for a week or two as it repairs itself.

I will have to research that technique. This is my first grow, I am trying to learn. Thanks!

I have some good write ups in my sig, if you’d like to give them a peek.

Well, your first sentence says you dont recommend with autos and I am growing autos right now. Oops.

 

[bobrown14]

With AUTOs dont need to do anything. Specially "topping" dont do it.

If I had an auto I’d still try super cropping It, don’t see how an auto changes anything much in this situation, it is still a cannabis plant all be it a ruderalis hybrid crossed with whatever. From what I understand it just matures (flowers) regardless of light period. So it should respond to super cropping similarly to other cannabis plants is my train of thinking, which will slow It down some, but continue to grow just as any other plant. Branches flip over quite a bit I would imagine in the wild where there can be pretty strong gusts of wind. Whipping it around and what not. So the plants must have genes to repair themselves pretty well or no plants would survive to make seeds is my thinking, and super cropping I would think mimics that branch snapping in the wind. But that’s what I’m thinking

His plant is about 2 feet or more from the light. Really its not that close to need to do anything but water. Put a fan on the grow is the best thing at this point.

 

[Scottylikesbud]

Sorry if I’m coming on strong, it’s just that you’ve got quite a ways to go on this grow yet, and that tall one is going to keep getting taller why not slow the top growth a bit so that the bottom has a bit of time to catch up with the top that way you have more budsites about the same distance from the light at that optimal zone where it is getting the suggested u/mols evenly across the canopy and not having just the “top” part of the plant being in this zone, and the majority of the plant below that point not being fed enough light. From what I understand good light=good bud. So having more of the plant at that suggested distance, should yeild a lot more better quality buds then a plant growing just straight up.

Start tying it it down. LST

Just let em go?

 

[bobrown14]

Sure why not, everything in your garden looks fine to me. I only train plants with LST IF they are in the lights and by in the lights I'm talking burning leaves. You're not going to have that challenge.

I have one. Its a two headed thing. I just raised it and pumped it up some.

Isnt it late for that? low stress training?

Do, or should, or might I scrog it? I have a net and was going to read up, but I am uaing this grow to get familiar with everything about it, regulating humidity, watering, watever else if course. All this.
Thanks

You have flowers now right?? Looks like it from the pics but I may have missed it.

AUTOs stop growing vertically very quickly after flower set. Its just part of the genetics. I've only ever seen a very few TRUE AUTO plants that got anywhere near 3 feet tall. Thats still well below your lamps.

Edit: plants dont like hoo-man contact. So touch when you NEED to not when you WANT to.

AUTO flowering plants are not good test subjects for training. They dont need it. Unless youre growing on a window sill or something like that.
