Great problem to have but still a problem...

Okay so originally I intended on using a 5 ft tall tent, vegging my plants for 2 months then flowering them.

Problem is, they are growing a whole hell of alot faster than i expected....within the last 8 days they have all grown about 20 inches.

The height of the ceiling of the room is 8 ft, so if i were to keep my plants the recommended 16 inches from the light the tallest they can get is about 6 and a half ft to be safe. I've been trimming large fan leaves and lower leaves in hope to slow the growth but it doesnt seem to be working. I have 71 days left of flowering and i'm pretty certain that I will run out of room at this rate

I'm really looking for some suggestions as to how i might be able to slow the growth without hurting my yield, I was thinking maybe I could just space out my feedings more?


Please someone help.

ever tried bending?

^^^^

Bending is the best bet at this point. Good luck.

never tried it before so I'm not going to begin my tests of this on a monster 6' 6" plant, I'ma just let it grow to the ceiling and put the light facing from the side

how much light are u usin

this sounds so inefficient... are you planning on getting any
weight from this plant after 2 months of veg??? After 4 months
of growing are you going to be getting adequate yields?

lower the temps maybe? say keep it around 65-68, lower temps = slower growth

I'm using a 600w hps with 10 4ft cfl bulbs and mylar surrounding the plants... light is not an issue I have a light meter and can check everywhere with the bottoms of the plants having an average of 7klumens/sqft and the top are around 30klumens/sqft. I have bud growing EVERYWHERE on these things, I have begun using some seriously late LST but the LST is working I have one of my plants growing in a circle around the other plants and this thing will not slow down It is now at almost 9ft. but I have it undercontrol and will post pics at the end. I have one month left till i harvest the first plant.
