SHould i just cut the top off and root it as if it where a clone. Ill take any other suggestions too. I just notice the top of the plant looks the best.

you could try that...but i think your light isnt close enough...its stretching for it

my light was actually too close and started to burn the leaves

You could try repotting putting soil all the way up to the first set of leaves, although it may be dangerous at this point to move the roots around at all. Also try putting some lights down near the lower branches so that they have a chance to fill up some. If your light is too hot and is burning leaves you could switch to CFL's for a bit then switch back to that nice HPS you got after your plant fills in some more. If you are already flowering then I'd be worried that your limbs won't hold any buds, do what you can with that fan to improve stem thickness and root support. Good luck man

Once that plant gets under the hps it will explode. Within a month you will not be able to tell it was ever scrawny. Cloning will only delay harvest.

Yeah that would probably be best, it might get top heavy. That thing looks like stretch armstrongs little sister, you DEFINITELY need that 400 asap.

i would say get some CFL's til the HPS comes and put em like an inch away.
