Hey guys here is the problem, I have 22 plants 4 cheese, 4 wrhino,4 lemon skunk,4 gws, 1ww,1nL, 4 trainwreck.

I started the seeds about a month ago in plastic cups, after 3 weeks transplanted them to 2 gallon bags with organic mix i use mostly just cheap potting mix with worm castings, bat guano, perlite, and another potting mix.

They were fine and under 1000 mh. They were about 3 to 4 foot from the light which seems fine given the fact they were seedlings and young plants.
The temps did get into the 90s a few days but its been in the 80s the last few weeks.
Also there was no fan on the and i wasnt there to monitor that fact but its now been fixed, the problem with that is that they became so weak and stretched out they would fall over. They are about 2 foot tall with the lengths between some of the nodes at 4 inches. I topped a few of the TW because they were the worst off.

My question is should i topp the rest of them is that the best thing to do to maximize yield, will the fan help them, any ideas to why this happened because my other grow was with cfl for veg and hps for flowering and they didnt stretch that much.
Any ideas please

i personally wouldnt even worry... i would just get a nice white string and tie them down... and make a circle or something haha

but just tie em down wil be 100% fine you will increase the budsites and you can take clones much easier too
