    Default To scrap or save?

    I got a feminised Miracle Alien Cookies from Silver Leaf as a freebie. Height is supposed to be medium but was growing rather tall.

    I’ve trimmed what I can, but it’s looking like a starving dog now with much of it trimmed off. A lot of top layer reaching the light which I cut, and pretty much a lot of the bottom. I’m about 10 / 11 weeks in, so don’t want to ditch if I don’t have to but it is taking a while. Growing in coco in a 16l fabric pot and has been in the 12/12 light schedule for the past 2 weeks.

    I'm an autos guy but I suspect there's gonna be more stretch since they don't look very far along with flowering. If you're already into the lights it might be time to look into supercropping.

    I agree with silkadin, time to start bending and "snapping". Roll them stems between your thumb and pointer, seperating the fibers. Once the fibers are "broken" up, bend and support. No sense in scrapping this grow in my opnion. Good luck mate!

    Hard to see exactly what's going on here, but could you set up a frame/net lower down and try and SCROG them?. Threading them through the frame would lower the height, then remove anything under the frame so growth is concentrated on the top of the frame. If you can't get all the plant threaded through the frame sacrifice some of it.

    2 weeks in flower the buds have not really started to grow, if this was my plant, I would chop it right back, take 30-40% straight off the top.
    yes it will reduce the crop size, but its not going to kill the plant, it will bounce back, I have done this in late flower, might even be a good one for @MrG chop a good 6" off the top and give 2 weeks longer in flower, the lower buds fill out and you get a second crop.
