Switch to indirect sunlight?

I'm running into an issue where my plants are about to be taller than my balcony, allowing people below to see them. They've just entered their 3rd week of flowering and I know it has a long way to go. The only option I see is moving them right inside my glass door, where they'll get plenty of sunlight, but most likely not direct. I KNOW this isn't good for the growth and bud yield for the plant but I'm wondering if it'll kill growth all together or will it just stunt it? I don't see any other option as I'd most rather not get caught with them. Also, I've thought about tying them down, giving them the limbo if you will, but the problem with that is they're moved into my blackout closet every night so there would be no room for them if they were tied down. Pictures below. Plant is Sativa dominant hybrid (unsure of exact strain) if that matters.

keep it out side and lay it down sideways,at least you will get some buds,cut a hole in the side of the pot and add some more soil.

So laying them sideways won't harm them in any way? If I'm using a clay pot, what should I do? There's already a hole in bottom where the roots have just started emerging. Also, remember, I have to take them back into my closet every night for 12-14 hrs of complete darkness. I don't want to get soil everywhere (though I can stand them straight up in there so I don't see that as much of an issue)

You can train them to lay down with some string. Just make sure to pad it with a piece of cloth or something.

How would I go about doing that? Like the tie down method?

Yep, that's what it is.

Well unfortunately that won't work because there isn't room in my closet to utilize the tie down method :/

1 more week stretch then it should calm down height wise.

Lean the tub on its side this will do you a favor,has well has hiding the top it will also promote the side shoot's to become tops.

When i say on its side i don't mean on the ground on a angle,so the top is just under the height you want,done it before it worked out fine

Awesome! What do I do if there are roots coming out the bottom? Isn't that really bad in the light? Just cover them I guess?

Tie them down, leave them on the balcony, make a box frame around them with bamboo or PVC tubing and cover them as needed. Just a thought.
