Beginners mistake: how best to navigate light stress issues for tall plant in a too small tent?
najo91started grow question 4 years ago
We have two autos in 5 gallon pots in a small 24"x24"x48" tent. One of our plants is inches away from the LED grow light and it's experiencing light stress for sure. What can we do to get these plants to harvest as best as possible? We are LSTing now.

Lst is your best option with ladies that have grown too tall ideally you wanna be catching nodes before they go skyward but in a situation like this your gonna just be as gentle as you and get them node bent over... Any breakage is fine and can be repaired with tape. We still wanna be as gentle as possible. Your totally on the right track.. Not a newbie mistake per say as it's a common occurrence in many an indoor grow operation.

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

Plant too big for growboxLong story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.
