Super Cropping autos

Hey guys so i super cropped my auto girl beacuse she was getting to tall (33in!!!) inside my 24x24x63 tent and i cannot bring my light up any higher (only 13 inch away from top of canopy :frowning: )

Did i do the right move here?
P.S Im still dealing with the twisted leaves as i think it might be a PH issue.

Zkittlez auto flower week 6
Soil- Top layer of Happy Frog and bottom layer of Ocean forest with some extra perlite inside a 5gal fabric pot.
Tent is 27x27x64in
Lights is a Mars Hydro 1000(will look to upgrade after my first grow)
18/6 Schedule
Plenty of Air circulation inside the tent also.
FF Trio(fed for the first time during week 5, the leaves were like this prior to feeding.)
Feed-Water-Feed is my schedule at the moment.
PH Tap water going in at 6.5-6.7 but runoff has been low at 5.7-5.9 even tho I did a flush so im still working on this. I Put some Dolomite lime to help out also.

Here’s how I got more room - I ditched the hanger. The lights cable is over the top bar

I kinda did the same thing too but I have my ventilation system at the top so that was my mistake. But I think I may have a bit more room if I try it this way. Next grow ima bring my vent down just in case something happens like this again. It doesn’t help it’s a small tent also :sob:

You can gain a couple inches plus by removing the cables the Mars unit came with and replace them with a coat hanger, bailing wire, etc. I used welding rod. Then go direct with the carabiners. :+1:

You can also remove the power head. Haven’t done that to mine yet but a friend has & mounted them off to the side of his grow box, mounted on a piece of metal to help disapate the heat off of them. they give you enough wire to move them far enough, also use the phone wire they supplied with them, then when you turn one of the dimer switches they will both dim the same an you can do this with up to ten daisey chained together.
