Hey guys, so i'm like 2 week into flower from a 4 week veg, plants are growing nice all the bud sites have appeared etc etc, anyway ive noticed a few of my plants look to be getting quiet tall and way to bushy it looks a jungle in my grow room, now i only have 4ft in total to work with, so i took advice, i topped, did some lts, and flipped them at 7inches, i kept them as small as i could but soon as i went into flowering within 2 weeks they've nearlly tripled in size with 6 week left to go and a foot max until there touching the lights

Help me pleaseeee ha

Assuming you have proper lighting, they should be about done stretching now.

You can always assume an indica will probably double in size, and a sativa can triple.

They will start fattening out and stop growing taller any day now.

Plants generally grow 1.5-2x taller during flower, so 3x seems like they're not getting the light they need (stretching). What lighting are you using? May want to lower it.

I'd consider tripling height in 2 weeks stretching! Keep a close eye, I doubt they're done growing in the 2nd week of flower.

I'm doubting they tripled. It's easy to think that they did, though! Watching plants grow can be deceiving :) I'm betting they about doubled and he's freaking out, lol.

Right the amnesia haze theres 4 of them, i flipped them at 7" as i did the rest and already 2 of the amnesia haze are 32" its confusing me,i thought after topping and with the lights always been so close this wouldnt have happened, i really hope they slow down, but if they dont what shall i do?

Look at it this way. He said he has about 4 feet total height.

He said he swapped at 7".

He has to have a pot so lets say a 5" pot, that's already one foot.

Give a foot for the light.

He said he has about a foot to go.

His plant doubled, he is just tripping out :)

4' in total to work with.

600w HPS. You are telling me you have a 600w HPS you can fit with a hood in less that a foot?

7" plant... you still have it in a pot. Otherwise you had a 5" pot and a 2" plant. I'm hoping that isn't the case.

I'm going by Your post. I'm not making assumptions on anything.

Ha ha lol thats good shit man im baked
Is there any chance using to much light in a small space could make them grow so fast? I have only have enough room for 2 lights in square meters or how ever they work it out, but due to cold temps at first i banged another 2 lights in now i have perfect temps, humiditys at like50% but it does go to 70% on the night cycle, im just trying to work ouy whats causing them to shoot up so fast especially if there the ones that take alot longer to produce, i hope i dont have to start tying branches down
