So Ive been growing a few plants as a back up. One alien rock candy and one malsana cookies. Currently I'm waiting to use the flower tents, due to a naner and hermi issue so i was gonna wait 2 weeks to use the tents again after a good clean. But both plants exploded in growth after their final transplant. The space is only a 20"x20"x48" tent in a smaller portion of a transfer room. my problem is that the current plants for those 2 smaller tents have outgrown that size in veg, that is if they double in size like they are predicted to in flower, not sure if that includes toping them 4 times. But my biggest worry is that they will out grow that space and not get enough light during flower. Should I cut them a node or 2 down to prevent stretch in flower? Or should i let the 4 day old top take its course being that the whole plant is currently 30" including the pot they are growing in. Its a weird dilemma that I don't normally have so I'm not sure what everyone else would do in this case.
Plant too big for its flower space

post pics its hard to tell otherwise.
topping can help w height but it can also result in a more bushy plant. I would probably keep it simple and just flower the better of the 2 plants. unless u really want to harvest both then you will need to do some planning to keep them small enough but sounds like you missed that window already. but post pics maybe you will get some different opinions.

Take the flower tent apart, and put it all in the bath tub. Water will kill the pollen. Dry it and get those girls in it. If there is still vertical issues..
I would do a heavy defoliation at some point during the stretch to slow her down a little, or there is always super-cropping, or adding a net to tame them. Weave them into the net. Look up scrogging.
I have more ordered because they are cheap. Im already using the 2 tents in harvest for a filtered dry hang area in the harvest room to prevent pollen from getting everywhere and into the other rooms. I'm going to reuse em. For now yeah Scrogging them is the plan but I'm still worried about stretching during flower. I only planed to use 100 watt mars hydro lights for less heat and less burnt tips in such a small space.
I got some from my veg room that's occupied by others hopefully you can make out the 2. I'm not too worried about them being too bushy because i have nets for both tents to seprate the main colas better being that they are all the same height almost.
