Growing dwc in a 4 foot tall locker and I'm about 10" away from running out of vertical space. I'm gonna have to start tying these cola's down onto my net trellis, but is there anything else I can do??? Can I top the plant?? I have about 7 cola's that are pretty even in my canopy.
3 days into flower and 10" away from running out of vertical space. HELP

Just LST them as much as you can, don't top them in flower! The stems will harden up so do it now and you should be ok

What he said. Get a bamboo shoot and plant ties. Carefully bend over the top and tie to bamboo. Plants usually finish height growth after about 3 weeks into bloom so you may have to do it a couple of times.
Plants stop height growth after 3 weeks with this method or all plants in general ???

plants in general, and yeah bit by bit is the way to go. I had a big plant a while ago and the branches all snaked together I bent it around so much. I called it "the Medusa effect" lol
So you're telling me if this plant is 30" tall at the end of 3 weeks of flower it wont' get any taller ????????? And bending them over everyday isn't gonna hurt them??, I'm in breaking them or lst just bending so they grow at like a 45 degree angle instead of more straight up.

It won't get much bigger after 3 weeks of flower (depending on strain etc), the buds will add a bit but usually the plant stretches and makes flowering sites in the 1st 2-3 weeks then it gets on with making the flowers.
Just bend them gently as much as you can, I don't break them just bend a bit, they will turn towards the light each time you do after a few days

Ok.. Thanks alot... Growing pineapple chunk fem from barney's..... Have been flowering 12/12 now for 4 days, and have been bending it for probally 10 days. Plant is 15" tall an probally would be 20" tall if I didn't bend.
Also is it true that it isn't as important for the bud sites to get sunlight early in flower and is more important 3+ weeks into flower ??? Cause I've been tucking fan leaves for about a 7+days has this helped ??

Just give 'em plenty of light the whole time IMO
