    If you're still in veg and nearly at you max height then you have as they say "fooked it". Expect your plants to at least double in height after you go 12/12. I would start thinking about alternatives to the tent for flowerin them if poss. Did exactly the same on my first grow mate, its a common mistake....windle

    You can lst all the stems.Pull them right down and tie to the pot.Then about the 3rd week of 12/12 untie them or or leave them tied.It wont affect the buddage Ya might find ya get more.
    Maybe even supercrop.Snap the stems
    Give them a few days to recover before flipping 12/12 if you do any bending/snapping, but as you have reached your max height I would be flipping pretty sharpish
    Or if its possible install a scrog screen over them
    If ya dont fancy any of these then like windle says ya gotta get some more height in ya tent




    Peace

    lol, my 1st mistake too!! (one of many)!

    as posted, when you switch 12/12 expect them to double in size, the s-t-r-e-t-c-h realy does catch people out as they arn't expecting it when they switch 12/12.

    if your still in VEG then to keep things managable when you switch, i'd reccomend topping, then supercropping any nodes that you keep. give her 5 or so days to recover, then go 12/12. all gouing well she'll fill right out with bud and you'll end up with a nice harvest.

    Pretty worried now as i bent it too much and its sort of snapped!!!! felt like i just killed a baby!!! haha.... didn't like the feeling, have a killed this plant?





    Space is a wee bit better than before as it was at max tent height really which means i will have no space for a carbon filter!

    She looks fine.It should knuckle up nicely
    The bottom growth should catch up now as doing this creates "auxins" or something
    Thus makin the bottom growth think its now top growth so it grows faster.
    There is a better way of explainin this Im sure someone else can do better lol
    They are kinda stretched dont know if thats the strain.
