A tiny problem with size!

Glenmostarted grow question 2y ago
So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)

snap a stem without severing it... support it so it doesn't dangle and damage itself worse. within a day or 2 it'll have a knuckle and you'll be holding back vertical growth instead maintaining it horizontally while it heals. It will try to bend upward around that break again.. hold it down, let the tip go vertical if timing is good and won't run out of space again. rather not break it twice if you can avoid it. this is called HST - can google for examples. it's simpler than it sounds. i just grab and push forward with my thumb until the stem doubles over -- only enough force for that to occur then stop. support it so it is horizontal and heals easily. it heals fast. shortly after it'll try to arch upward. hold it down at a point you feel safe the upward growth won't run out of room a 2nd time.
