A little overgrown

Well, I seemed to have grown some bushes. I'm running awfully close to my 315 cmh and I'm only nearing the end of the first month of flowering. My room is pretty full and I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing at this moment. Here are a couple pictures:

Here's a few from the bottom.. the bucket on the far right would be the one under the led. The other three buckets are all pressed to one side to allow room for the fan.

I know I can move my led up, but there is no room to move that 315w up in my room.. and my girl is inches away from it already. What should I be doing?

Personally i would take some wire and wrap it around the eye hook and to the hood hanger. Then eliminate the carabiner. Thats one more inch.
Then id clean out the bottom of the plants because i would be scared of problems due to lack of circulation like powdery mildew and bud mold.
Then when my bottom was cleaned out i would get a net and fasten it six inches below the canopy top on the back side of the plants, stretch it over the canopy twards yourself, and then pull down and fasten it to the front side. Id aim for six inches down, and the extra inch added on top...id say you should be alright after that.

The wire to replace the carabiner is a good idea! I'll be trying to install the mesh netting, as per instructed, likely within the coming day. My question - after securing the net to my wall and pull over the plants, how do I secure the side of the net with without a wall? In the picture, the fans area would be clear of netting.. how do I secure that netting?

The above picture illustrates my room, where the blue lines are netting that has no place to attach to. Ideas?

Could you possibly attach your scrog netting to the netting in that area with the same wire mentioned before?

I'm not sure.. to be honest I'm quite scared to try this. The tops on my lady are looking so beautiful and the stocks are hella thick. How do I bend her under a net? I'm assuming during the night hours when she goes limp?

Just be gentle, she won't mind it too much, besides what's worse to you, a bent stem or bleached out burned buds? These plants are suprisungly versitile, just think about all the times they get trampled in the wild they still survive

It does kind of feel like I'm looking into the future though, I checked this thread because I think I overplanted myself a bit, but you know how it is, always want more lol
