How do I stop my girls from growing too tall. Bought dwarf auto flowering this year, supposed not to grow over a couple of feet but whoosh, all of them have reached for the sky and are giants. Growing in a greenhouse.
Thanks.

Bend them down and or top the hell out of them. Not sure how autos are but topping never bothered mine These plants are a sativa in fifth week of flower. Seven of them in a seven foot tall grow box

Bend them, top them, tie branches down, use a net, etc. There are a lot of options! I wouldn't top them if you're already into flower, but with some practice and care you will be surprised how much you can bend branches. This is a good problem to have! Good luck!

Yep lst is your friend.topping autos will set them back a couple weeks or so..so i wouldnt do that..lst will promote a more even plant with more bud sites.do it gradual as not to break or damage the stem and branches and used stakes or netfor support etc..
