Help! running out of room! lol

Hello all =) I'm new to these forms but I've learned so much already!

But I have a question on topping plants. My plants are about 35 " tall and are threw there first budding week (12/12). But now my plant is growing past my light and i can't raise it anymore. What should I do? Cut the top off? Or bend it over with some string. Any advice would be muchly appreciated .

Thanks

have the same problem - though not as severe.

you can tie the plant down - some good advice i heard on this forum was to tie the other end to a brick - that way you could wind up the string around the brick a little at a time - and slowly bend the plant (turn it every day or something like that).

i also saw on one of seemorebud's videos someone bent the plant at the bud.
WARNING: I have never tried this but...
you're supposed to squeeze the stem where you want it to bend. squeeze it a lot - like 20-40 times to break down the fibers and the stem should bend without breaking and continue to grow like nothing happened. like i said - never tried it but i did see it on video.

other than that - you'd have to turn them on their side or something - i'd try to avoid cutting off the tops at all costs - that is your biggest yield i think.

k I think I'll try tipping the pots and hope they stop growing lol. Thanks for the info on bending i hope it doesn't come that.

Also, how tall do plants grow to ? I've got about 8 more weeks on flowering cycle will the growing slow down as the plant starts too flower?

Once you start flowering figure your plants to double or triple in size.

my plants stopped shooting up about 2-3 weeks after switching to 12/12 - but by then they had already hit my lights. i just bend them out of the way now (and the buds are growing around the slightly burned areas so all is not lost).
