Too tall for grow box!! How much longer??!!

Hi,

I have been doing my first indoor grow using a shitload of CFLs. My lowriders have finally started budding...about 2 ago. BTW, they are already 22 inches tall...so much for max size of 18 inches! Now they are about as tall as my box can handle and I'm not sure what to do. Do you think the plant will get bigger still? It showed sex about 4 weeks ago but I had to put it to 12/12 to get it to bud (even though autoflowering shouldn't need it). If it's going to get taller can I tie it down a bit without effecting the buds? I have several weeks to go, don't I?
Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can offer

..................Anyone?

tie it down bro i had one that out grew the other plants and i jus tied her over the lower nugs rite under the cola will fatten up and your cola tip will grow curved thats bout it or you could cut holes in the bottom and raise your box if thats an option idk but id jus tie the lil lady over but be super careful not to break your stem off it helps to tie a string lower down rite under where the bend is to hold it at more of a 90 and do a lil every day and eventually ull have it sideways

heres some pics i tied in the second week of flower oh they should start settlin down and fattining up pretty quick too tho

youve got more than a couple weeks it looks like to have a potasium def as well

Ok...thanks...I'll bend the bitch. Oh and asyouarei, she was completely nutrient deprived for several weeks...only recently started feeding them. I burnt them w/ miracle grow early on and was afraid to feed again...now feeding w/ 19-31-17 every other feeding. I'm surprized she even survived, much less produced bud!

Thanks again!

yeah you gotta real percise with MG ive burned plants to hell cus i forgot i used nuted soil lol but aslong as u work up on doses and get em thriving on it theyll turn out real nice bro

i feel yah on the nute burn, i have had my experiences too.
