Im Worried about the space and the stretch of plant. it seems the only the tops are frosting and bulking. Should just carry on as it is, or should i try tie down the cola's more horizontally and defoliate to try get more to even canopy and get lights closer to the lower bud sitesWeek 12

Any help is appreciatedWeek 15
