Hello ive got 50 headband kush in a loft there in the second week of flower but they have grown so much taller the past week and now I'm worried there might not be enough room (in the height) left in the loft for them to Finnish off which will be a disaster!!! Is there anything I can do??? Maybe super top them? Or at the worse case cut the tops off now b4 they get to far down the line? Ive got about another foot an a half / 2 foot left

The pic looks a bit decieving coz it looks like the near end has more head room than the far end. If your in 2nd week of flower I wouldnt super crop because your plant is using its energy to start flowering. Its a tricky one with u being in flower. Have u thought about doing a scrog if your going to run another?

Yes the front row are a lot smaller but the other 46 are a bit too tall for my liking but it is wat it is now I just need to try and do something rather than just to cross my fingers, im thinking of either super cropping or just cut all the taller branches but this doesn't sit right with me as there goin to be the main colons

Just tie all the leads over. Tie them at a 90 or slightly lower. You've got a great thing going and week 2 is the scheduled bend leads time. Your going to yield a whole lot more if you do this. By bending over you should be able to loose 8 inches to a foot in light distance.

Dont crop them mate you wont need to. If youve got 2 foot left that is more than enough room trust me.

U got 2 foot left that means your plant would have to grow half its size in a week if that. Your safe pal

What are your night and day temps? How long did you veg them for? Its really hard to tell about what they will produce from pics plus ive got no experience with the strain. The lower nodes are gonna struggle to get light because u got a packed canopy. You should really think about doing a scrog next with less plants you wont look back mate
