So i started this plant about a month n a half ago, It is now april 16th and the plant is easily 2 foot, im at the 8 node; size is starting to worry me. Light hours are now at 13:00 and basically have left outside to do her thing, my only question is how big is this thing going to get?? Its in a 5 gallon fabric pot with some amended vermicompost with ffof s the base, with a vegg period of whats going to be about 3 or more months and being very sativaish im kinda worried.

Tough to say. That pot isn't very big which might limit the size, but outdoor plants can get 10+ feet tall easily when cared for well. How big do you want it? You could set up a scrog screen in your yard and grow the plant out sideways instead :).

its somewhat of a discreet grow so im trying to minimize size.. Ive heard they dont tend to rootbound in fabric pots but then again never put one this early in a 7 gallon, May just have to top it a ton of times. realiatically no more than 4 feet 7 would be a over kill.

If you’re leaving it outside now.. expect it to start to flower, the reveg. This will retard growth for several weeks!
The plant can still get big in a 5 gallon pot, but you’ll have to be spot on with nutrients and later.. July on constant watering! The root system will fill the pot! Then you’ll need to support it, cause if it’s even semi bushy and 6+’ tall it’ll blow over easily.
That said. It can be done.

if it was to to flower pretty sure woulda happened already... its been outside for easily over a week. No signs of it trying to flower its looking like a smooth transition to being out outside. i matched the lighting with the outdoor n lowered it to match the 13hrs were getting.As for nutrients should be okay i went with slow release stuff like alfalfa meal n bat guano ill add the langbienite a couple weeks prior to flower.
