LED Light Spacing

THC123
THC123started grow question 5 years ago
So my taller plants are starting to get bright green on top. My light is 25” from the tops. I measured today, and if I keep the lights that far away during flowering, I hardly have any space to grow them taller. It’s a 6’8” tent. The bloom light also isn’t on yet. What do I do?

bend or break stems... the latter being the last thing you want to do... but, tape them up and try not to damage the vascular tissue inside as best as possible as you weaken and or snap the stem a bit, lol... not joking.. don't grow them so large. this is a common mistake first grow. I did it too, but didn't have to do any High-stress training. i just lost a few trichomes off top due to evaporation. It doesn't look like light burn. 25" should have some space to give before you need to do these things. you better bloom it immediately, if running into height issues... as you have another 3 weeks of growth after that point. Since there's so much time after you change to 12-12, you could prune it back a tad, get 2 new vertical dominant growths and in those 3 weeks should grow out enough to provide solid colas... you have options. This would save a few more inches for sure, and shouldn't impact yield much. bending/breaking (supercropping? i can't recall at moment) works too.. people successfully do it all the time.

How tall is the tent? You can switch them to 12 /12 soon and they will still double /triple in size so if you're running out of head room I suggest to flip them now. 🌱👍
