To tall for my tent

Ok just flipped her to 12/12 yesterday but my problem is no room she’s about 2 inches away from the light, and I know she’s fixin to stretch out and up the light is as far up as it can go might be able to get another inch with some different hardware but really that’s not really going to help other than taking it outside I don’t know what to do and really I’m not allowed to do that but anyway any ideas will help thanks in advance

Looks like you’re going to have to bend them over.
It’s easy and it wont hurt the plants.
@tammydc has a journal and just did hers.
I believe @PreyBird1 helped her.
I bend mine all time.
Nice looking plant btw

Be prepared to bend them over a lot. You will get at least 50% more height than you have now. You gonna have to keep up with that every day.

Looks like you let them get too tall before you flipped. It’s ok you can still manage this. Since you just flipped them, it’s ok to top them still. I’d cut them back about a foot honestly maybe little more. They’ll grow back with more tops than before.

You can also bend them stems down sideways but it looks like you’re pretty cramped in there and probably need a good haircut @ward

I agree a buzz cut and some heavy lst bending. They will blow up after that tho.

When I grew in a tent I just cut the bottom and raised it all up. Yes a little ghetto, it was in a room I could keep dark, so light wasn’t wasn’t issue there.

Bro… You have to get a new tent asap, your plants are going to get ruined if you don’t. Whatever passes the light might hermie or reveg. And the leaf too close with get burnt. Trust me I know from experience! :facepunch:t3: It happened to my last grow… And there won’t be any air room or air movement and you’ll probably get bud rot. Like I did!

Ok since my last post I got that 4x4 tent set up it’s alot taller, I’ve had this plant in it plus another it’s been in there for two days now I’ve also got a new exhaust fan set up didn’t realize how bad the one I had worked my temp is staying more consistent and my humidity is to which kept getting way to high, I can see the difference in my plants already they are starting to get close to harvest, I was really worried about that bud rot I know I’m not out of the woods yet, but I’m alot better now than I was before. Thanks everybody for all your help!!
