I got MONSTERS and need to fix my height issue

Check out these pics, I got some tall sativa plants that are 2 weeks into flower under a 400w hps and 400w mh under 1 big hood.

Thinking I should pull/push them over to low stress train them and hopefully knock out a foot or 2 in height.

Anyone have any ideas?

I was thinking of pushing the tops over the bucket next to each other, and it would make a rectangle of the stems..sort of like a circle, but they wouldn't be curving...or pushing all the buckets together in the middle, and spreading the plants outwards so its like a V

Push the pots out slightly and loosely tie the stems to 1 side that should create less height, triangle shape

Next time you should think about topping.

The bottom shit will be worthless unless you give it some side lighting or trim it off.

Two weeks in flower is about the latest you can top. ALOT of people will tell you not to because it will stress the plant but others do it all the time. It's either that or start tying down branches

very nice lookin plants. phat leaves for a sativa
and i say judt tie it down a bit, and leave it like that, it'll adapt. but you could top if you want, since it sativa it should recover and still be stretching enough to have tops grow back.

tie the stems so the tops are close and get enuff light otherwise you're going to need a lot of side lights, I wouldn't top the plants and the leafs are very very fat for a sativa plant look at my avatar that's 100 % sativa

I never understand why people let their plants get that tall. I guess with the situation you're in right now I'd try and tie them down as much as I could. Try and get every bud site as close to the light as you can without bleaching or anything.
