Definitely not an auto, top it down to the level your lights can hang with after stretch and flip that bitch to 12/12. Or take a bunch of clones and do a sea of green.

tie down the main or pinch it and lay it over then tie it down or chop it in half .... how long you run your lights ?

I run them 18 and 6 and the problem is I have 3 other autos that are flowering so I can’t change the lights to 12 and 12

Cut clones and keep them in the tent in veg until the autos finish, then you will have a good headstart on your next run.

Just tie the plants down. Don't be afraid. They are resilient bitches.... They are into the bondage scene. Try to even out the canopy

6-7 foot auto's isn't out of the norm depending on strain, and yes I have grown this exact strain to get that size(outdoor). I'd have to see pictures but did she stretch or show any sign of pre flower?

Here's a 6 foot Sour D auto that was indoor. She just finished up a month ago. I'm just saying it's possibly still an auto.

Sometimes they like to recede back to the traits of their photo period grandparent, it happens quite a bit actually.

I've also had a few that I had to trigger by decreasing hours of light. Not a full 12/12 flip but a decrease from 20/4 to 16/8 and once they started to flower I bumped the light back 20/4 and they did just fine. Guess it comes down to just how much ruderalis is in her.
