Mistake #1 - growing 4 plants of 2 strains not knowing what the heights would be
Mistake #2 - Not having enough grow height to be experimenting
Mistake #3 - This was a major error - instead of topping I decided to just see how tall they would be on their own
Mistake #4 - I wait till today, midway through the third week of flowering, to decide they aren't going to stop growing and I can only raise the lights (2 4 tube flouro fixtures) another few inches
Mistake #5 - Thinking about the above instead of what I'm doing, I drop a light into the plants
So the plants basically did a bend don't break thing. Only one small shoot broke. But it looks like a hurricane went through there, everything all hangy down and out of place. But it should come back? Tell me I'm right, please.
Now my problem is how to light for the remainder. I was able to raise the overhead lights some more but not to position them exactly. Right now they are higher than they should be but before long (assuming they come back ok) the plants might grow up into them again. I have cfl sidelights I'm making the best of but might have a real problem getting light on the top colas of the two tall plants.
Sooo, should I try to bend the tops of the tall plants over and tie them to keep them under the lights? Or something else? Thanks
