Largest plant has stretched to the point it is about 4-5 inches front the light, I can’t move the light any higher or stop the plant any lower. Bud looks like it’s growing healthy. Just concerned with a few weeks still to go it will damage the bud?

Hi there, maybe you can bind down the branches. Therefore you Take a twine and drill some hole in the edge of your Pot. Then bind ot slowly down, Not so tight cause the branches able to breach by this method. But it works. Best regards 💚✌️

I get that problem quite often, usually I'll bend the branch away, putting a 90 deg bend on any branch that's getting way to close. You may just end up with light bleached buds on the branch that's to close to the light.

Choice: Lower intensity Or LST to gain some canopy back Or Supercrop - there is a spot with just stalk below the top closest to the light. Kink it over and a knuckle will develop if done right. At this stage I doubt it'll increase yield but it'll be away from the light.

Hey there you will be completely fine to have that plant super close to that light that’s only like 100w or 150w light that’s barely any light to flower some weed plants. For example I use a 500w light in my 2x4 tent and when my plants are flowering I have the plants only 5 to 6 inch’s from the light As long as you keep the temps in the tent in check you won’t have a problem with the light being so close heat would be the only thing to worry about it being close the umol’s are under powered

If my explanation is too complicated: growdiaries.com/diaries/242323-apricot-auto-lemon-cherry-cookies-auto-purple-lemonade-auto-californian-snow-auto-gorilla-cookies-auto-grow-journal-by-trutratri/week/1420687 W8D1 The one in the midle. I got the first bending at the middle of the plant just a bit, and a second one at the top.

Hey growmie, I’d carefully LST that top over, even late in flower it’s better than letting it burn. Just go slow and support the stem if needed. If that’s not possible you could try to dim the light if adjustable, or add a fan between the light and the top to keep temps down. The buds will still develop but too much heat that close to the light can lower quality. Give it a look and trust your gut, small adjustment now saves bigger problems later. Good luck 🤞🍀♥️

If she is not pissed about heat or light intensity it is okay, but you have to check that from above 😆 To get at least some space just bend the main cola by some degree. If it is too hard already try fix it on 2-4 points (low degree to high degree from bottom to top). Just don't be too harsh, perhaps start by just a bit and tighten it every day.
