Too tall!

Hello, just induced flowering on the 14th and the ladies are about two feet tall and have about a foot and a half space from my 1000 watt a/c light. I was wondering what to do, my buddies plants were too tall so he bent them over a bit but I don't have much horizontal space, I am kind of leaning towards using bushmaster as I heard it will stunt plant growth heightwise.
Anyone use it?
When should I add it?

I don't want to have to take plants off of ebb and flow table and put them on the ground but I will if need be.

Thanks!

They can't get much taller, if any, before that light starts to burn them. Only about 10 days in and 2ft tall now they will most likely add another 6+ inches, which will almost certainly be bad. I have not heard of bushmaster so cannot comment on it. Have you considered pinching the stems between nodes to stunt growth? Lightly bruising, but not bending or breaking, a branch will cause the plant to take some energy away from stretching for light in order to repair the damage, so you slow down the stretch. It's analogous to lifting weights, which tears your muscles, and then as your muscles repair they get bigger and stronger.

dont use bushamaster after 2 weeks, and only water with it for 2-3 days. bushmaster will do exactly what you are looking for, and increase your yield. I use it with every harvest.
