New Grower the autoflower from hell

[codycaine]

Hey guys I'm Cody and new to the forum so I have a problem I got a freebie when I ordered my beans a auto XXL Amnesia from DF. the thing is now almost 7 foot and really hindering my other plants that are in veg since the light is so far away.I can't even get it under my light cause there's no room. So my question Is to keep it or chop it prematurely I needed to start flowering a week ago but I'm stuck cause I wanna see what this girl is gonna do but I also don't really have time to play around as I have a whole crop to tend to so anybody have any suggestions any help at this point would be appreciated

Id definitely grow that out and not chop can you add any supplemental lighting lower on the other plants?

Not kidding on the xxl part... What's ur light schedule now? You have photo periods in same tent? 12/12 won't hurt it. Not ideal for auto but will still produce for you.

Yeah I can add extra lighting my problem is that I have about 12 photos that I had planned on starting flowering two weeks ago, but it's all good. Light schedule is 21/3 was under a 250mh just started running a 600hps getting them ready for the switch. I useTechnaflora B.C. hydroponic nutes, in 50/50 coco perlite. I'm not sure why it grew so big I don't really care for all that stretching but it's funny seeing this tower over 2 foot tall photo's. It's a beast. I will keep this updated with pics to let yall know how it turns out.

Supercrop it! Choose a node and punch the stem over 2 inches just above the node until it softens and bends and folds. Feed silicates before and after!

Agreed worth a shot. Silica blast intoxication. Lol

I agree 100% with what milky suggested. Supercrop that girl. You'll most likely end up getting more of a yield from her if you do as well. Happy growing!

This technique essentially allows you to take the auxins (or growth hormones) and detour them from growing tips to other areas where they can maximize growth. This is a technique that can be performed on virtually every plant (excluding autos) and you can actually do it multiple times during the vegetative process.

These are not my words. I'm quoting Robert Bergman on supercropping. Just putting it out there.

Supercropping would most likely kill it. Lol
