stop growth, growing too tall

Seems a random thing I admit but my plants are growing too tall, not stretching just won't stop growing.

I vegged for 3 weeks and have now been budding for 3 weeks. They must be 80cms and seem to still be growing, will they continue to grow or will they start to slow and concentrate on budding?

I used a metal halide for the first 3 weeks and been using a hps since. They are starting to bud nicely but are still growing and i am running out of space, any ideas?

many thanks

Did you change your light cycle to 12/12 or are you still on 18/6?If you just changed the bulbs it'll keep growing.

If you did change your light cycle then they will shoot up about 1/3 total height then pretty much stop and focus on resin and buds.

I wanna say there is some additive that slows vertical growth.
Bushmasters makes it I think.

yer i changed the cycle to 12 / 12 when i changed the bulbs, hopefully it will stop now, if not I will have to look in to bushmasters, thanks

Just tie them down. Forget about bushmaster.

might seem stupid but how would i go about doing this?

why would you only veg for 3 weeks? Thats how long dwarfs veg for.

I vegged for 3 weeks, and grew very tall. seems (of my 2 grows and reading) it should slow alot after 3 weeks but wont stop fully growing up till around 4 weeks. if your too close to the lights try slightly bending them over near the top and fixing them with garbage ties or something

Looks like they were tryin to reach the light

kept those within a foot of my 400w hps, i grew the same bagseed last time with cfl's and they did the same thing, just freakishly tall sativas has been the common explanation
