    Hey Scorpion, If it were me with the room you have I would top the shit out of her. Cut her right down and then she can recover
    while the auto finish's. She will stretch 2 - 3 times her height in flower. Topping her and flipping to 12 - 12 when the auto is done
    will give you a nice bush.

    I love super cropping but imo she is to big and the space to small for it. She will bounce right back while waiting for the auto to finish.

    Good Luck Mate

    12 weeks in veg is a long time with no training.

    I like the fire extinguisher in the corner you ain’t taking no chances.

    Listen DO NOT flip her until you have cut her down. She’s potentially going to triple in size and you will have a shit how on your hands.
    I would cut her down to half the size she is and flip her. And even still you might have a fight on your hands. Cut her down to half the size put a net over the top of her and weave her where needed through the net to keep the height down. Also first few weeks of flip top and super crop as much as you can to stall the stretching. But when you flip she will go bananas.

    Can cable tie that light to the top of the space if need be for some extra inches.

    Can you not put your carbon on the outside? shorten that ducting a bit get your out working a bit more efficiently potentially be able to turn the light up a bit.

    I see a few people saying let her recover. DONT do that cut her down then flip her you need to stall her much as you can. She is still going to veg/stretch for 4 weeks. I speak from experience done this a few times when I started out and fucked my job.

    If the plants healthy and the environments good, cut the canopy down 50%, this will stunt the growth and the plant will drink less(don't over water)
    Done this too many times, had to thin the plants out 3 weeks in flower, didn't want 50 small buds.

    Cheers bud I think that’s my only option really to stop the bitch taking off when I flip her, so you would chop it down half way, my next problem then would be getting rid of the offcuts without them stinking everywhere out lol cheers
    I smoke pretty much all of the time so if I waffle shit please forgive me lol
