Plants are outgrowing lights!!!

Why a new thread? What is you're light schedule? In your other thread you said they were autoflowers. They're not autoflowering so if you don't have them on 12/12 they are not going to start flowering like they should.

Supercrop or bend them over and tie them down. Switch to 12/12. Just letting them grow into the light makes no sense. You have to make a decision. Standing back biting your fingernails while not doing anything isn't going to get what you need done. It's time for action not panic.

Good luck.

Ok, they are to the light and higher!! Do I need to cut them some??? I just want to have some and not kill the plants. It’s all mine!!!
Been there a million times......start very slowing bending the tops in a horizontal position......if they are still young tender stems on top , start bending tops with light weight washers attached to a small "s" hook.....go easy.......works great........end up holding mature vertical branches down with heavy wrenches for weights. Don't cut those beautiful tops , only if ya want to.

I do this with s hooks and weights, makes the branches get stronger and able to hold the weight of the future flowers easily.

The only thing I can add to the already very good advice is don't be lax about it because the plants may not recover from light stress. This ruined my previous grow, I had grown a little too much product so I thought it was ok to be lazy with my plants! I will not make that mistake again
F'ing-a.....I'm pushing 70 and certainly still learning...a tough one but you won't
forget . Fuck-ups are a " Right of Passage "

Bend em, snap em, tie em down, show them who’s in charge :twisted:

it’s super stressful at first(for you not the plants, they’ll be fine)

in the future expect plants to stretch up to 2.5x height at flip. Once you’ve run the same strain or stuff closely related a couple times it’s easier to gauge
