Bend the top of the plant down. That will make the side branches grow as well.

You could still LST it a bit, or bend it, as suggested.
I use Bushmaster to stop my plants vertical growth as desired. Works good.

u in 18/6 or 12/12 if so how long in 12 are u
if u are in 18/6 just chop em down u dont get more buy growing high u lose due to bottom end trying to take wat the top needs u need a happy medium
if u have height restrictions then stay away from sativas and just do indicas grow 2 half foot then flower chop the head can cause more chance of males
bending the plant only stuns it for a while again determines how far in u are

dude, if your still vegging your plant, then top them fuckers. theyre too tall, and instead of having one main cola, youll end up with two. and if you top it again, youll have four. If your still vegging man you can play around with this as much as you think is appropriate. Just make sure you keep vegging until your done pruning the bastards. I would say top her a little less than halfway down, so the plant is 2 ft tall, n then top her again once your branches regenerate. After that, throw her into flowering .Once shes in flower, shes gonna stretch back up to like 3.5 feet again, but it might be a little shorter, and then itll start blowin up with buds. youll be happier with a giant fuckin bush as opposed to one stalk with one bud at the top n a bunch of under developed buds at the bottom. Topping is a good thing man, even proffessional growers top n fim their plants dude.

good luck with your problem, but i gotta say, its one of those problems that i personally wouldnt mind havin, lol.
