Plant out growing my 4x4 tent!!!

So I have been doing DWCfor about a year now and have had both amazing yields and poor yields or hermies. This time I have a plant that seems to want out of my 4x4 tent. I’ve done a lot of LST bending actually multiple times on most branches. There now is not enough room to tie the branches down because of other plants accompanying said giant. I’ve also lollipopped it along with the others in order to change out water. The water uptake is about 2-3 gallons per day, ph is perfect at 5.7, my ppm is 1200. A slight bit high but why try to fix if it ain’t broken… should I just let it continue doing it’s thing until harvest or is there something else I can do that I’m not aware of? Attached is a picture.

Raise the light? If there isn't room maybe set your fan and filter outside the tent? Another tent perhaps...
Light is as high as I can get it, I thought of a bigger tent but unfortunately I’m restricted to space so I cannot go bigger. I’m not complaining about this jolly green giants size, just curious as how to control its growth. I’m definitely going to harvest it and reveg it but next time maybe less plants with it and scrog it.

have you drilled holes in the top of the buckets, you can get many more places to tie off of,
The girl is as round as it is tall, not much elbow room in there with the other plants. Plus with tieing it down changing my water out would become a daunting task. She is so heavy that she is caving in the lid so I had to reinforce it. The stalk is about the diameter of a half dollar now. Weighs about 15-20 pounds, not exact just a guess.

how confident would you feel about bending the top colas over without breaking them? its a kind of LSTing top colas that are out growing a grow area.
they still grow, only they take a while to perk up again.


Young soft plants can be bent over useing your thumbnail to indent the stem, in a few places and fold a plant over 90 degrees.
its dodgy, but works. i dont recomend it personaly, but ive never tried it, but i have had a few (lol) ,bent over plant tips to know they can recover.
you could wait on others opinions who have tried it sucsessfully. goods luck with it though

Yeah you need to sort another way to hang your light, you especially don't want sticky resin from your buds stuck on your diodes. Maybe modify or make some hangers yourself.

Looks like your light has a little bit more space to go up.second option is super cropping making an internal break or lst. But soo much green could call mould hope you have good ventilation.
Next year do a few more toppings.i would reccomend the mainline tehnique as it gives the slowest growth should end in a smaller plant with lots of colas
