Your answer is HST. Rub the stem and press in hard to break the inside but not the out rolling it in your fingers and lightly press harder and bend keep your hand fingers like holding a pencil so you see the face and your fingers are on the sides, you'll have to do this if the stems are hard otherwise you'll break them. If you do get some nautical tape and tape her up for about 2 weeks, cause if you leave an open tear it'll die or not heal right. If buds get to heavy you can make like a T shape stick and have it a little above the nodes you bent, (HST'ed) maybe wait another wk before doing but if there's certain ones do them now but dont do more than 2 at a time. Not too much stress. That or you could do a cross shape and tie the nodes to bend down, the part of the node that bends if that you'll have to do that before it stiffens or you'll have to HST them. There your only choice I can think off. Good luck. Raising the light will make them stretch more. She still has lots of growing pal. She's not an auto right. Maybe another 1/3 in height maybe more. HST now she'll have loads of time to recover and it'll give you about a wk or 2 to do them all over space of time to give it rest. Plant has to be in good shape. Best of luck. Happy growing.

your light at 600 watts can be 18 inches from the top of the plants. If you were keeping it higher and running hps while they were transitioning may account for some extra stretch.

I would break the stems of whats sticking out but dont tear them off complete, just like a 90 degree turn if you cant raise the lights
