Hey!
If you have the space upwards then just then her grow and hope she'll stop at enough distance where she won't get light stress/burn.
If you think she's going to run into the lights already then go ahead and supercrop it's your best option here and trust me, it isn't that bad.
As for the other two ladies, just under something as support to raise them so they can get enough light exposure.
Had this happen to me now, I have a sativa that stretch way more than expected raised so I have all the other ladies on boxes to have an even canopy.
Luckly the sativa stopped streching but if she didn't i would have 100% supercropped her.
Hope this helped.
Good luck and happy growing!

I would definitely pinch the stem and fold it at a 90 degree angle at which ever node makes it the same height as the others, use a stake to support. By raising the light you will be losing yield on the other plants by catering for that one plant. Their are many tutorials on youtube how to bend.

I agree with with Mooncat, don’t cut the top. LST may work. Super cropping might be an option too. This page will give you some good info on it should you decide to do it.

Growth will stop soon depending of how far you are in flower...or atleast slow down considerably.
some LST ,,might,, work ?
Just dont cut the top...

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early?
I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since...
Thanks!3 years ago

stretched 12 day- insufficient lightare plants very backward for 12d?Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small,it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds?Does it cause the yield to decrease?Or still have a chance to fix it?

Plant taller than it should be by 3ftI have been growing ILGM auto northern lights and they are growing far taller than they should. I plan to try 'topping' my current one (2 weeks old atm) but am wondering if this is the only solution. Ive made changes to my soil and a new light thinking it may be 'stretching'.Plant. Too tall

How tall can grow Durban Posion in late flowering?Hi, what do you think, how tall can this plant grow? It is 4th week of flowering, and she already stretched out two times in size after switching lights. The distance from light is 30cm. The light is 65W LED. Also, what do you think about bud fattening? More light needed?
