My plants are getting too tall!

I definately wouldnt top them now.. When u top them it stresses them and therefore they must spend longer in Veg to stabilise b4 flower.. That may just turn ur plants Hermi.
Try a product called 'Rock Juice' it stops ur plants growing upwards almost instantly and just re-routes the vitamins to the bud sites. Normally used in weeks 3-6 of flower, it can be used @ anytime 4 a short period to control plant height.
Good Luck, Hope this helps.

Sounds like you need to use a stunt growth hormone of some sort. I have heard many good things about Bushmaster so it will be worth trying something like that.

Heres a look at what difference it will make: http://www.gardenscure.com/420/plant-food-nutrients/103878-bush-master-comparison-plants.html

Hello fellow growers! I have a quick question. My plants have been flowering for 10 days and they are growing like crazy! I have been keeping my 430 watt HPS light about 6 inches above them the whole time. I have to keep raising the light daily and I am almost out of room! I have cut the legs off the table that they are growing on already and I do not have much room left. They are growing great(nice and bushy) but pretty soon they will be touching the light and I have no room to raise it any more. They haven't started to bud quite yet so I was wondering if topping them would hurt them and possibly slow down the growth. I would really appreciate any input that anyone may have. Thanks!

no don't top now.can you bend them and tie themover some with out breaking them. your grow look great

tie 'em down, it's too late to top or add a growth inhibitor.

Thanks everyone! Those are some great ideas! I will attempt to tie them down and if that doesn't work I will try the hormones. I would hate to see them get burned by the light!

Most likely it's going to come down to you to tie those suckers down...

Try a search on Low Stress Training to open ur plants up to more light and keep the tops away from that nasty heat.

They look really healthy. I would do some LST on them. Also if u want like 8-15 main colas on a plant start them on LST when they are only weeks old you will not be diappointed

how are these guys doing? did you stop the vertical growth?

excuse me, i meant your ladies
