Hi ive got 4 MASSIVE plants in a cupboard grow and they are just about touching the 400w hps bulb, ive run completely out of room and i cant lst them so should i trim the tops or just let them touch the bulb???
seriously dude NO room i topped them all to get 4 nodes on each and WOW!!! so i cant even bend them around cuz they will be bending into each other, also the stems are like 31-35 inches long
Well they will grow quite a bit while budding too, so you most likely will run into the same problem if you can't lst them. Best thing would be to find another place to put them. You'll lose a lot of yield if you cut them back now.
maybe you cant bend them like lettter c -what you could do if they were young uns
if i get into trouble with height cause my lights can not be moved i adjust to height by putting thing under plants
the probblem in some plants with a lot of sativa in it most of time shows around mid flowere
anyway i dont try to bend plants to stiff so i just supercrop pinch and bend hard like a upside down letter L or a 7 or something a knuckle type growth will form at bend plants heal keeps going after about a week set back on bent branch or top
all side growth start pointing upward plant will go right back up in a week if not tied down to pot or its stalk sometimes i just hang a weight around its neck to hold it down
