I know it doesn’t sound like a bad problem to have...lol...but I’m literally 6 inches from hitting the ceiling and I just started to flower a week ago. Can I cut the tops back or will I destroy my plants doing so. Thanks in advance for any help

If you just flipped them, it is going to be a jungle in there. On average, a plant will increase in size 200-300% through the flower stage(depending on strain). I thought it an exaggeration but no. You could try bending but if you top them now you'll lose a lot of your colas.

Supercrop tops down to an even canopy.

I agree your best bet is to super crop them. you can do some hst or lst training, either tie them down or gently bend the branch so they start to grow outwards. you can pinch the .branch gently and bend them be careful not to apply to much pressure so it snaps the branch, within a day or two they will go back to normal. topping should be done pre-flower stage
