Does anybody know if auto's stop growing in height when they start to flower or do they just grow to the light. I am worried that my auto berry's are not going to stop growing. They are currently about 1 inch away from my cfl's and i dont know what to do. I dont have any more room. Also is it to late to add a screen so i can scrog or is there no point?

They will continue to stretch when the buds start to grow on the top.

Next time get a strain with lowryder in it!

This strain does have lowryder in it. It's blueberry x grapefruit x lowryder! I thought it would only be really short but it has continued to grow.

Autos will grow a good amount during flower. Try LST to keep them low. Works great for restricting height and you gain more yield.

I've heard its not good to top AF strains, I thought it would just effect ur overall yield, LST is good cause u can train it without stressing out the plant too much and affecting ur harvest.
