Slight problem ? Haha

[Fancyhuh101]

Hey guys , so I think I may have ran into a snag here. I originally thought this bubba kush was a auto flower. But I know now it's not lol its a photoperiod and I didn't know I had to flip it to 12/12 to flower. So now im waiting for all my other auto flower to finish which some may still have weeks , and I think the bubba kush is outgrowing the pot and tent? Is it good for a few weeks while the youngest autoflower ( in the picture) matures , or is this a problem ? Thanks in advance

Just trim her back. You can be as precise or heavy handed as you like, she will recover, and she will flower just fine.

So the pot size isn't too small ? It shouldn't cause root issues ?

If you flowered her as is, probably, but if you shrink her down a bit, it should be fine. It really depends on your soil and feed. You might need to feed a little strong or water a bit more frequently, but its totally doable.

Amazing suggestion , thank you very much ! That's what I'll do is trim it back a bit !

The autos will finish just fine under 12/12 if you were to flip the light schedule.

^ agree...

I've done it before, the auto's just take a little longer to finish than they would have !

Keep in mind, that photo will likely double in size

Cheers

May be a good idea to set the autos up front, and spread that photoperiod plant out. You can knock down some of the plants height alone right there without any drastic measures performed. The autos will be out soon enough anyways.

Just had to do this myself. Had a seed that I thought was a photoperiod and it ended up being a surprise Auto. Let it do it's thing and when my other tent-occupant was ready to go to 12/12, I did. No problems and the Auto finished just fine.

OP, I'd opt to 'top' that plant down a bit and if you can, do some LST as well if the branches are pliable enough. It'll be fine.

Thanks everyone for the help and great suggestions

Oooorrr you dont top it let it grow then when autos are done you plant it in a bigger pot lst the shit out of it give it 2 weeks and have one huge plant that covers almost the whole growbox that way you didnt waste your time and money

Is getting another tent an option? I would definitely put that beast in a larger pot, the stalk is half the size of the rootball lmao. Love bubba kush such a beast plant.

chop off (Top) everything roughly above red line, put into a slightly larger pot. Too big of a pot and the plant will grow too big for your tent. I sometimes intentionally upsize my pot right before flower to get more stretch. The plants that go from a 10 to a 15 gal grow considerably larger than the 10 gals during stretch. Roots don't stop growing in flower, so you will still need to acommodate them. Sure you can grow a plant in a dixie cup of coco but it isn't going to be ideal or large.
