I’m into a new grow with two autos and two fem plants. The autos are in early flower, and the photos are at maximum height for my tent. I’m thinking it’s time to flip the fems. I have more experience with autos than phots. Can any of you good people weigh in on this decision?
Flip now, as a plant can double in size during the 1st 4 to 5 weeks of flowering.
Increased light intensity can mitigate height. Supercropping can also help manage excess height.

THANK YOU!!! That is solid advice.
Any pointers on super cropping? I’ve read up on it, but it’s always nice to ask.

Find a soft part of the stem where you want to bend it and squeeze hard in your fingers, then roll it back and forth a little between your thumb and index finger and then I just squeeze and slightly bend

I hope that light will go higher! Should flip them at 2 ft unless you want monsters. I was late on my last and they went thru the light at over 8 ft.

Flip to 12/12 on lights, autos will be fine.
