Hi all. I have an issue. My photoperiod plants are already touching the top of my greenhouse. I transplanted these 3 plants into a 12x8 greenhouse back around Mother’s Day. It’s now July 10th and they are touching the top of my greenhouse. I’ve topped them several times already and meticulously Scrogged them. I have no where else to bend them. Can I top them again? I have nowhere else to put them and I’m Leary of topping them again. This is my second year growing. I need some advice. These pics are a few days old BTW. They are definatly touching the top of the greenhouse now.
Thanks all

Doesn't seem you have any other option other than to cut them back again . Maybe tie the branches to stakes in the ground and train them to bend down . Gonna need a lot of stakes and twine though .

Is it going to kill my yield if I do cut them back again? I think you’re right, it may be my only option

My issue. This is a cheap Vevor greenhouse I had to do ALOT of strapping and stabilizing so the greenhouse wouldn’t get destroyed during rough weather. If I raise it the cover becomes more flimsy and the structure also becomes less stabil. If needed can I top these plants once more without screwing up future buds too bad? How long do you guys thing they have to grow? What a problem to have, my weed plants are getting to big.

Buy a big tarp and start light depping them. Harvest 2 months earlier. see pic below, this greenhouse will be harvested this weekend. Been covering this greenhouse for 8 weeks.

Is it a metal frame?

Having the same issue. If I use this greenhouse next season I'm starting plants later, running genetics I know are shorter and probably digging my 15g planters into the ground to gain an extra foot or so of height.

So far those year I've been supercropping (think that's the right term), loosening the stem between my fingers and then bending it flopped over. It's higher stress than I'd prefer but Here we are lol...
