just cut them down to the heighth you want...or, like you have already tryd, "supercrop it" by bending it horizontally

just chop them down and start over

just bend them down with some weight thats what i do and there 4 1/2 feet tall but bending them over there 2 1/2 feet tall

i did this when i was supercroppng to...use saran wrap and tape to hold it together, should heal itself in couple weeks :hump:

so the tape doesn't stick to the stalk? that is a very good idea, new wrinkle for my brain.. thank you

Supercropping! Squeeze & rub firmly where you want the stem to bend, turn the stem through 90 deg and repeat, the stem will flop over. Google supercropping and I am sure there are some youtube vids of this technique. Dont veg so long next time, plants can triple in size during the first few weeks of flower and ignore the muppets who say chop down & start over, not very helpful IMO. Peace W

use the saran wrap on the plant, and secure the saran wrap with tape :-P
