I would try to slowly bend the mains to about a lean of 20-30 degrees from vertical I would just do about 5 a day till you knock about 15cm of top growth they look like they are about done stretching. So that would buy you some extra height in your grow area. Other then that you can super crop and take the lean to a full 90 where they are laying all the way over and that will definitely work you just have to keep them at that 90 till the majority of growth is done either way they look great and you are doing an amazing job keep it up.

Look up supper cropping, use it if you feel comfortable.
Good Luck!

Okay, well being honest with you, your plants are in the normal range for where they are meant to be at. To keep plants from growing to tall always keep light 30cm away from canopy, anymore only has the plant reaching for light. Stop any grow nutes, and beef up on flowering, only other solution is to start supercroping or just HST the colas that are too high for you.

Bend all the tall branches over and put up a net. The canopy is crowded. If you bend all the branches to where the tall stems meet the lowers and scrogg net. They’ll support through the net and fix the space issue. Defoliate as well. Remove all the big fans and let her do her thing. Just make sure you have a light that Carrie’s enough par to push all those flowers or you’ll have just popcorns and it’ll just reach for light after it passes the net you place

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks4 months ago

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?3 months ago

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?Plant. Too tall
