So I kind of screwed up and didn’t know that plants stretch when I reach the flowering stage and I thought that’s when I stopped growing and I enourmous plants on my first grow to say the least and I want to maximize my yield, what should I do in this scenario and as a reminder a bunch of the plants that are massive are not in the tent I’m defolianting

if they stretched too far up or will cutting the parts getting too close to my grower choice 720 LEDs cause issues with bud quality? I’m a care taker so I don’t wanna produce trash for my patients that are very sick.

Jeeez it’s a jungle in there.

As Dank said above you can super crop, but I’d also put some side lighting in to get the middle and lower branches some more light.

Would a LEP work? There’s no room I tried growing branches upside down they usually snap cause they’re so thick

I haven’t will topping the stretch mess them up? What part of the plant stretches is it going to be the internodes stretching or the entire thing as a whole stretching that’s literally why I haven’t flipped 12 and 12 inches started it now because I’m worried about what’s going to happen if I flipped at 12 and 12 I got clones off of them just in case
This is causing me a ton of stress I didn’t intend for them to grt so big but life happened and that’s another story. Any advice from experienced growers would be great but I don’t wanna kill them so anything to avoid that with in mind would be great

The plant will double in height during stretch...sometimes more sometimes less...for the 1st 3weeks or more of flowering...then it will stop stretching and focus on bud production...I would bend all those branches out sideways and tie them down and flip lights asap

I’d chop them here, and let them recover for a week then flip personally

Oh shit you just gave me an idea. Super crop. Over the top of that growers choice and toss another one it. I could easily cover that 4x4 area.

How bad is topping during flower if they stretch to much ?

No beuno topping after you flip. Do what you need to do pre flip. I’ve made my suggestion

best of luck
