    My 10 week old autos are too tall!

    I posted a few weeks ago about how my auto Northern Light plant hadn't flowered and long story short it still hasn't. Last week I flipped her to 12/12 and put in the 250W Super HPS bulb. Now the light is up as far as it will go and she's inches away. What should I do? Hoping she starts flowering soon....

    Maybe top it and train it some. Looks like there's some room to fill out. Even if it's a photo, a week of 12/12 it should be showing signs of flower. Try another hour of darkness?

      Top it, super crop it, hit it with a broom, spread out what is left under the light.
      Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

        Super crop the top 1/3 lollypop the bottom 1/3 and defoliate the middle.

          I grew a Northern Lights auto. It took a long time to flower also. It turned out to be pretty good smoke. Dense buds for an auto.I quit growing auto,s because photo,s are just better and almost as fast. Break that tallest bit over to keep it out of the light and defoliate the bottom a bunch. Have a great grow !!

            Thanks you guys. I think I topped it and bent it over good enough but I need to defoliate I guess. A photo from after I cut the top.

              Has it put on the stretch? If not your going to need more room. Keep an eye on that top for burn.

                I'm not sure what you mean....its supposed to be an auto so I didn't flip the light when it was half as tall as my space. I'll keep an eye on it.

                As I understand the situation, it was supposed to be an auto but didn't flower so it was flipped to 12/12 to force bloom. I would infer that it is in reality a photo, and therefore will stretch significantly after the light change. Either way I think you are close enough to the light now to get burnt.

                Oh yeah man I'm definitely worried about burning.....besides bending it is there anything else to do?

              I’d suggest you supercrop that or the tops will get burnt
