Plant getting too big for space bucket.

Hello everyone. I'm growing a Royal Dwarf autoflowering plant in a space bucket. The plant looks great and is just now starting to begin to flower. I purposely picked the Royal Dwarf for it's small size. However the plant is now getting pretty damn close to the lights in the top of the bucket. There is still some room to go but once the buds start growing fully I'm afraid they'll be hitting the lights.

I dont' have another bucket to cannibalise to extend the height of the existing bucket. Should I take the plant out of the bucket and set it up under the window that gets light most of the day supplimented with additional lights or woud that be too much and would stress out the plant? All ideas and advice are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a training technique?

Here’s a couple of pics.

I think I’m just going to have to creative to make it a bit higher. They’re not far off peak height minus the buds (if they get remotely biggish).

If setting it in a window under a light is an option, then the need for a space bucket and its stealth or confined space has been rendered useless. Take it out of the bucket and put it in a corner under the light you currently have and just grow it normal minus the fancy contraption.

Wow! That is super cool

I can tell you that the extensions for the bucket are on point, didn't even know he was on this site til I saw this thread . I definitely suggest extensions rather than putting it in a window.

Do ppl actually grow inside of a bucket like this?

Apparently they do. I'd rather just get a small tent, but to each his own.

Yeah, this shit is crazy...I looked into them a couple years ago and the cost, amount of work involved and the yields just didn't add up. Looks cool when made out of large trash cans or totes, but by then I would just rather use a tent.
