I've got a Train Wreck going now that is about 8 weeks old and pushing 3' tall. I switched back to 2.5 gallon pots from 3 gallon so I could fit another plant in my small area but this thing has gotten so bit it's crowding everything else out. Who know how big it would have gotten if I'd have put it in a 3 gallon one. I had to raise everything else up just to keep an even canopy top.

Nice one Faded, that beast should give you 2 oz easily. Looks like its got awhile to go tho. Which strain is that btw... you got a journal? The two sweet seeds I've grown so far were pretty stretchy too and my devil cream I've got going now has grown 10" in the last 3 days lol.

If stretch is a problem (and only if) keeping temps at a constant will help reduce stretch height.
So if you dark period is 10C cooler that you light period it will stretch more than a 5C difference.
Using a tube heater with a thermostatic socket/switch to keep dark period temps the same as lights on temps will give you the least stretch.
Another method especially useful is to use the "stunting method".
Grow your plants in a smallish pot I used a 1 liter pot grow your auto until the preflowers show, then transplant in to larger final pot I am currently using 8.5 liter auto pots. see my on going grow here - https://www.autoflower.org/f138/4-g...ine-ds-300-1-x-vipar-b2x3-stunting-36318.html
This is a method I got from the Joint Doctor on growing his "Ogre" here is his advice he uses larger pots but the method is the same.
Indoor in soil plants require 1 gallon pots to start, sex will show between day 17-21, transplant to 3-5 gallons until harvest. Outdoor start plants outside in a greenhouse or similar in 2 gallon pots, after sexing transplant into 5+gallon pots or directly into prepared soil beds, harvest at 65-70 days.

I don't know the strain,this one came out of the sweet mix. I don't have a journal either. 10" in 3 days, That's close to what this one did.
Thanks for the info man. Stretch really isn't a problem,I have another few feet to go. I figured being in a hempy set up could be why there is so much stretch.I'll go check out your grow in a bit.
