Plants have left the building

High all,

in my current grow of Lemon Skunk they have stretched out and made my biggest nightmare come true:wall: they are at the light. I think it is time to do a major topping, is there problems associated with topping during early flower?

Are there any other methods that I can use to get my plants away from the light (other than raising the lights) that anyone has used successfully?

I am going to get some pictures right now.

regards,

Crush the stem and let it flop over. It won't hurt the plant. A less violent alternative is to just tie it over. If the stem(s) are really woody, let the plant get real dried out and droopy. Then tie it over. Less risk of snapping anything.

So is there any special technique, or do I just crush the stem with my fingers? is it better to do this when lights on or off?

Here are some pictures taken minutes ago:







and for now I have tied them out the way.


When I return home tonight I will do some crushing!

i did it with my plant with good results you just take the stem between ur index and thumb and just bend it to the side and the stem will like crease but just be carefull not to breake the stem anyway its really easy

thanks, both of you. It seems as if it were to easy to be true, a little squish and bend and another 1' head room. :-P

Here are the pictures, the slight lemon smell on my fingertips was very nice.





So how does it look?
