Pre-flower stretch — how to manage height explosion
The stretch happens in the first 2-3 weeks of flower. Most strains double in height, some sativas triple. Management: supercrop tall branches, raise lights, use LST to bend tops sideways, and keep good airflow. If you're running out of room, a SCROG net is your best friend. Plan your flip height accordingly.

Excellent guide. One thing I'd add: patience is the most important nutrient.

I wish I had this guide when I started. Would have saved me months of trial and error.
