Looking great dude! I could think of worse things than having a plant outgrow the tent :biggrin: Can't wait to see her in full flower.
Cheers DB
Yeah i always find something to complain about.
Is any extreme extreme bondage bending or shaping possible?
If so looking at the photo she could maybe be brought down to half the size , just a thought, maybe better than cutting holes in your tent :)
Hi Mephisto
I would usually do some hardcore LST but the main stem is like solid steel all the way up to the top. I know if i even try to bend her that she will snap. She might look leggy but she is solid. Thanks for the advice.
Yeah remember @Duckster having a problem with one of the girls on his first grow outgrowing his cab, he done some pretty funky LST that worked well and got her back under the light.

He got a few pics here so you can see what i am on about

My last grow got out of hand.Trans Siberian auto ended up with a couple branches at 74 inches. Problem was my tent is only 60 inches. I had to weave branches every which a way and still had to cut out a dozen tops that were getting burnt bad and still gotta half pound. The limbs get tougher every time you bend them and by the time I got through I had stems as thick as7/8 inch at the tops. Biggest was .843 on my calipers. Never seen them get that thick ever. I've had some that didn't get that thick at the base lol I will top and train from now on. In hydro I think they recover quickly enough that it hardly slows them down. Yours looks great. Gotta love them monsters. Happy Growing:greenthumb:

Hi Zepherlight
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have to agree with you i feel that autos can take a bit more abuse when in a hydro set up. Its not like when in soil when you stun a plant it pretty much just stops growing and ends up with a very small yield.
Hydro however not much really slows them down they just keep growing.
My next grow i will be experimenting in topping when i feel like the plant shouldn't be getting any bigger.

This girl really is taking her time.​

She stands well over 2 meters at this point. Excluding the pot.

Putting out a nice bit of frost on the sweat leaves but no bud formation as of yet.

Showing signs of stress due to her being so close to the LED.

Smell is really coming through its proper bubblegum to say the least.

I have to say dude this isn't quite typical :)
In 15 litres outside they were about 1.40m excluding the pots, Indoors sharing a 600w hps, starting in 1.5 litres, transplanted at sex into 12 litres we'd get about 1m in height.
Just for reference so you know :)

Nice to see some frost starting grim!

Thanks Mitch, my grow tent is VERY relieved.....still, those Autopots and DP was a very potent mix, and I have no reason to think it won't be the same with your strains. Can't wait to see those Bubba's Smelling Hubba's Scopes.......
