Another way to reduce height,is to lower the light and add ventilation to compensate for heat and height. Topping work,too!

At this point I just refuse to spend money on special seed genetics. I want to get comfortable with the basics of growing before I go down that route as the seedbanks I've seen look pretty pricey and I do _NOT_ have a "green thumb". In fact, I have been known to kill rock gardens just by walking by.

I understand that! Way back when.. That was my mentality. You made the right choice!

My flowering plants are my first ever attempt at growing a crop to maturity and doing well. I ordered a microscope last Sunday and am waiting on it to come in to start looking at the trichomes. I "think" they're 2-3 weeks from harvest based on the rate of growth they've displayed so far.

Kinda be nice if this plant is something special though. I think what I'll do, IF I can can it back to vegetating, is keep it vegetating and use it as a mother to start learning about cloning since it's shown it's sex so early.

Knowing I can go all the way to 24/0 with the lights on the vegetation side, I just rolled it to 19/5.... (then came back to finish this post)

Go back and set it to 18/6.

Is it possible to keep an auto flowering strain in vegetation mode through timing of the lights?

It'd be a real winner if I can do that and this particular bag seed turns out to be something special. I'm usually not that lucky.
Your that lucky! Believe,My Brutha!
