Help plants getting too big!

Hi guys so i started a grow in a pc case a few weeks ago and my plants are doing fairly well, but they are starting to get a little too big and i dont know what i can do, i have tried tieing them down but it just snapped the stem of one of the plants (It has recovered now).

So if anyone has any exp with pc grows or something alike a very small grow any help would be appreciated.

you will either just have to start flowering and or figure out a way to lower them , cause when you start flowering it will stretch almost twice its height

They are autos so i dont think you can induce flowering on them can you?
But yeah if they grow to be too much bigger i am well and truly fucked haha.

It isn't going to flower until its sexually mature, no matter what light cycle you use. As far as getting too big, Just keep tying it down, it's probably already starting to flower. Once it gets done stretching, it will bud up.

It's just means the plant has gotten to the point where when you flip the pant is able to produce the chemical that triggers the plant and says it's time to make flowers. If you take a plant that's only a couple of weeks old and flip the lights to 12/12 it doesn't mean it's gonna flower. I know I ran a full round on 12/12 from seed to finish they didn't start to flower til the 4 week or so.
