im on my second grow, and the first time i didnt let my plants veg long enough. this time i think i went a little too far!!! i let this round of plants veg to 24 to 36 inches!!!the problem with that is that i only got 7 feet of head room not includeing my reflectors.so when some of these get too tall, and i tie them down, will this hurt my yield at all???btw the strains are jack the ripper, master kush, and plush berry. thanks RIU.

What kind of lights are you flowering with?
Have you thought about topping while in veg?
Tied down plants do very well, the trick is to not wait until the stems you want to bend get so thick that they break instead of bend.
You can bend gradually over a day or so on thicker stems, taking care to go slow and not bend too much at one time.
Also remember if you do bend plants, they get shorter but usually they get wider too so you need width and depth in your grow area, instead of height.
