Yeah, so this dwarf in the back keeps stretching, whereas her sisters have remained bushy and short. At the rate she's going she will hit my 400w light. I hate to cut anything off but my light is as high as it'll go. Obviously the seed really tapped into the sativa genetics. It's 60% sativa, 30% ruderalis, 10% indica

What can I do?

Give her a tie down try some hanger wire bend her slowly there's always a way to deal with height limits. *Cheers*

I always tie mine down, even if i don't run out of room. just lets the other branches come u and get better light. just make sure the branch your tying down still has lots of give, or you can damage or even snap it

With an auto strain? Super crop it? I don't think that's good advice for an auto Sativa !

I would definitely be tying that top down - only low stress with autos!

Yeah, I took some string and attached one end to the tent pole so it's slowly bending. Moved it to the corner so its not directly under the light. It's amazing this girl is almost 2 feet tall when her sisters barely reached a foot. All the plants have a ton of bud sites.

I have had to break about 20 of my autos and its never given me any problems. Doesnt seem to hurt yields as far as i can tell, i break em over and never seen any ill effects
