My First Child is Getting to big for its home ?

[badhabitsau]

My first home grow seems to be going well. Thanks to good seeds and fish emulsion BUT.. The cupboard it's in is only 440cm X 400 and I am worried that the inner shoots are being dwarfed by the large ones ( see attached) I really can't just get another area except out doors and am worried. I have trimmed and closely looked at the plant and even think that it's female (fingers crossed, little hairs forming so far no "balls" ) Should I take drastic pruning measures or some how hide out doors ? On the other hand I might be just panicking it is now 70cm high in just 6 weeks and I have only just started giving it 12 hours on and 12 hours off, with large amounts of potash to assist blooming. Being my first child I am worried, all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU Badhabitsau!

You can expect the plant to at least double in size once flowering has commenced.

 

You should not prune the plant once it has been flipped to flower. It will destroy it if you do.

 

You are going to need a bigger area plain and simple.

It is a lovely plant you have there. The lower part of the plant will miss out on a fair bit of light as well.

You could take it outside every day and bring it in of a night.

 

You would have to make sure it is for 12hrs or less every day.

 

On the positive side, it is a nice healthy plant and it is not a such bad predicament to be in, as you will find a way to see her to the end. I think you would have a couple of weeks to sort it out.
