Plant too tall

I'm three weeks into flowering and one of my plants is grown so tall it is about the bump into the LED light. I have to Blanson the cabinets and they're planted in 3 gallon smart pots. The cabin is 67 inches tall and the one plan is 54 inches tall now.

my only option seems to be that I tie the plan bended over a little bit. Will this cause any problems?

Bending mid flower may cause un-uniform buds but otherwise wojt have any negative effects on the plant. Just be careful not to snap the branch.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the double post of picture. Had another one selected but it didn't make it.

It may be good to bend the stem when the soil hasn't been watered for a few days. This may help prevent the stem from breaking, as it will be more flexible since the plant cells have less water pressure within each cell. A slightly underwatered plant will be easier to bend than a well-watered, upright, rigid plant

I agree.
I get runaways all the time.
Just grab the top and pull it over so it is at a right angle and tie the tip to the stalk.
The individual buds will start to reach for the light and probably get bigger than normal.

Any info I give is based on what I would be comfortable doing.

In nature plants don't live in plastic buckets but at my house they do or they get the f**k out.

here is a pic

plants pretty much always do some stretching in early flower. the main problem i see is your light isn't gonna penetrate very far down from the tops/canopy. you have wayyy too much plant(s) for your light. you might want to consider a different/stronger light next time, or do a scrog...

I Have 300 watt led and have added two 50 watt LEDs one on each side of the 300 watt unit after the picture was taken.

Search the internet for "clamp reflectors", they sell them at Home depot or Lowes... may help orient light towards the leaves in a more direct fashion

After you bend it and tie it over, move them closer to your light. I doubt it was meant to grow that much space...... so its stretching a Ton looking for usable light obviously...... but it looks good, big as hell!

Looked at that style of led last night, subbed!

I know the feeling- My Speed Haze (SSH x J.Herer) caused height issues in my tiny bathroom cab.
Had to prune her 2 tallest colas 3 weeks in. Still, made it out with some smoke though _~

Definitely bend her sexy ass over and tie her down! Those bottom branches won't produce anything if you don't/ Also, after cutting her height in 1/2 Lower the lights/ I keep mine 2-3" from the tops. Used ONE 67w CFL to grow this Haze Hybrid. Happy Growing, _~

My Skywalker Kush stretched a lot and super fast once flipped to 12/12. Had to bend that bitch over something fierce. This was taken a few days ago at day 32 of flower.
