Help with plants stretching too much.

The girls are getting way too tall, would you guys recommend super cropping this late in flower? (Almost 28 days) or should I just keep dimming the lights?

Sorry if this is a repost... grow Diaries be actin funny. Personally, I would choose methods that reduce stress. Raise your fixtures, add a fan on them to keep ballast cool and this will help prevent your plant tops from burning as well. You can then gain a few more inches by placing a trellis above and slowly working it down over time. Try to focus onspreading the tops towards the inner walls of the tent from center point. That way if they do continue to grow, they might be able to grow above the fixture. With my current grow, where I ran into a similar issue, I researched as many possible solutions and there was one I wasn't able to try which was running straight blue lights until stretching has ceased since I didn't have any readily available. As far as dimming... I didn't. Fans on the lights and ballast worked miracles on preventing burn. Plants are much more robust in this stage. I just kept an ever watchful eye on them.

If you have the ability to remove a fan above the light to create more room then do that. Instal the fan outside the tent.

Esta difícil se salio de control. Puedes intentar subir lo que mas se pueda el panel como mencionaron en algunos comentarios. Si no puedes levantar la luz no quda otra alternativa que cortar algunas punteras que están tocando el panel.

Removing fan leaves will slow that branch. I’d put the light right at the top and bend some tops down and tie, do some super cropping and some pruning too. 28 days is pushing it abit for hst but it will be the lesser of two evils

Dimming lights will encourage stretch as they reach for more light. They should not go much more now
