Will this plant stop growing soon?

[BenzoBoy]

I started flowering a plant at 12" tall and 2 weeks into flowering it is already 26" tall. It has outgrown my box so I had to quick rig another set up. Could this plant grow well over 30" tall? Thanks. This plant was also grown from a 7 year old seed.

Quick answer: Yes, unfortunately plants may grow up to 3x larger in flower. Depends on genetics and environment.

What strain is it, Sativas strech out more than indicas

Just going to go out on a limb here. But if you can control the temp for the first couple weeks, it should theoretically slow down the stretch and level out. From all I have been reading, when you give those ladies optimum temps they just grow like a weed.......pffft. So maybe try keeping your temp just a smidge on the cool side and it could possible stay a little bushier. Peace.

i always flower my plants at 12" regardless if they've shown sex. but that's not an option in a box. there's no telling how tall it will get. even a strain that's supposed to remain small, may get big. if i were in a box, i'd be doing a scrog anyways. you may want to look into that.

I thought you had to flower then to get them to show sex.

Indica bag seed. Actually, 7 year old seed.

Nope. After about a month of vegetative growth they will show preflowers. Females will have a couple pistils in the crook of the nodes. The males will make a few pollen sacks that look like little balls. It's basically them hitting puberty.

From the looks of it I would have guessed sativa. Then again I am growing a "supposed" sativa that has indica looking leaves and no stretching between the nodes.
