my plant has overgrown my room, will it stop ? 2 weeks into flowering

[noty johnson]

I realize the first two weeks of flowering is the stretch phase... What about after that?

I let my WW go 5 weeks in veg (long story) and now after 2 weeks of flower it is out of control. The 3" net pots in my aero system can barely support it, and i'm out of room to raise my light.

Will it stop getting taller or does it continue to grow the entire 8 weeks of flowering? If i have to start pulling it over a bit, is this going to screw it up? The buds are starting to form nicely already

I'll get pics at 7 when the lights go off

if has got to big then bend it and tie down inplace

just measured, its 4 feet tall.. but its been topped twice so it has 4 mains and is very bushy.

If i tie the "colas" down it wont screw anything up, this late into flowering? If it doesnt grow anymore i'll be ok, but if it goes another 6" or 1 foot im screwed

thanks

If you tie them down or at least back! You would increase the light to them as well as get a bit more yeild.

i agree with gagrown make sure u r carefull not to break them.. i do it all the time and you'll be surprise how many budsites u end up with... just pull it apart alittle one day come back the next day do alittle more. just be very carefull,if u break it tie it back up and tape it.. i hope this helped alittle... godd luck..:-)

the plant already has buds growing! you guys are sure its not too late to do this? can anyone answer when/if it will stop growing?

this is my first grow,

thanks

no, it will still grow, it should grow better actually, if you tie it down so the budsites are more even and so they get more light, your buds will be much better, but dont go overboard, do it gradually if you have to, if you tie it down to fast, you could stress it into being a bit of a hermie, which would suck..

If its 2 weeks into flowering, it should stop growing soon anyway, so just tie it down gradually, and keep us posted - good luck...

here is a picture, a little over 4 feet

either bend them down (always fine, even in the last days b4 harvest) or pinch the stem till it cracks/crushes, and it will fall over. in about 4 hours, it will be healed and growing toward the light again.

bend them, you still have a week or two of stretching to deal with...

I've used Brookes,suggestion on many outdoor grows and seems to work well! But the reasons behind me doing it is for the fact that they are harder to see! It'll shock them for a bit but they seem to bounce back and it increased my yeild as well! So in your case it may be best to take cuts and toss them.It's space you seem to be concerned about and not yeild or hiding them.They are in a room!
