hi people,, all my plants have grown to big for my tent... there about 2 weeks into flowering..im using 3 600w hps adjust awing with spreader... in 3, 20 pot aeroponics system. i really need some help..there about 6inches below.not all but some.. should i bend them all and hope for the best, or i was thinking of getting some clear acrylic and putting a sheet just below each light to take the heat off my plants.. does that work?? they have stretched maybe 5 times from when i switched them over... help!!!! ..

some people pinch them to slow growth, as long it is still attatched it will still feed, tape up broken braches all the time.

2 weeks into flowering means they probably haven't really had enough time to slow down and switch to flowering mode. How high are the lights? They might be stretching a lot. Whats your temps at? You can always pinch them over, even in early flowering if you're very careful.
