How to stop plants from growing any taller?

[Michael23]

My plants are now it the 6th week of veg and its nearly reaching the max of the tent plus touching my lamp.

How do u stop them from growing anymore taller? but also want them to grow more flower? is this possible?

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.

i tgood luk

Shite!!!! Looked like i i fucked it up..... hm..... i thou at flower stage it only buds and it stops growing!!! dam!!!!

Don't feel to comfort snapping it our anything, i will settle with bending it and tie-ing down somewhere....

[Michael23]

Started bending it to a 45% angle today, seems ok, but abit of water came out of the stem, have a bent it too much and it will cause stress to the plant?

Here she is again after the first round of lst. I will tie down four more branches when they are a little longer.

Hello, here is a b4 & after shot of an 8 Ball Kush grown in pro-plus which I let grow to around 10 inches b4 topping 3 inches off her to create 16 growing tips. If you look you will notice holes in the edges of the pot for tying down the branches with string to keep her low. I think the trick is to start early.
