Hey guys,Ive got 4 plants on the go,all in flower,but its my first grow,so being inexperienced they dont have an even canopy and while waiting on my new 600w light I put one into flower using cfls.The result is I have one plant with one big main cola towering above the rest..The thing is too,in the past few days its really taken off and is all hairy etc,its really coming on great,but Im worried about the light being too far away from my other plants.I was going to just top it but that dosent seem right chopping off a thing of such beauty lol,so if I lst it this far into flowering will it fuck the plant up?Or am I better just topping it to get the light closer to the rest of my girls?I
I also have an auto that has just started flowering,it too is doing great but I have it under my 250w cfl 6500k on 18/6-it would get much more light if it was in with the rest of the girls that are flowering;would I be better doing that or should I just leave it under the cfl?Here is a pic taken 6 days ago-it is all hairy now2014-01-16 11.05.37.jpg2014-01-16 11.05.37.jpg

Why don't you just raise the other 3 to match the height. Put something under the other pots. Definitely don't top it though!

I had a similar issue just like the guy above me said tho just put a book underneath to raise up the lower ones and even out the canopy

I wouldn't top it, you will lose that growth. You can tie it over (LST) or even supercrop it. It's not as stressful as many people imagine. These are tough plants and well accustomed to getting broken and the tops eaten off by critters in the wild.

Ok so if I bent it over and supercropped it would it be ok,or would it lose alot of growth compared with if I just left it?
