ok i have a batch all started from seed of whit ewidow max.. i must've obviously let them get too big in veg now theyr'e getting so big theyr'e like 3" away from a 1000 watt hps.. what should i do? theres about 15 plants in the whole setup and its about 3 or 4 of them that are the huge ones.. i put them in the middle but not only are they taking away lumens from the shorter ones on the side, but they've been growing so fast theyr'e like 3 " away from the light and i cant really move it up much higher.. they're on week 3 blooming and have already started flowering .. what should i do?

tie the shit out of them in any way that works without stressing the plant too much. Remember to keep the buds in the light.

I've pinched plants weeks into veg to bring down the height and then bent them over 90 degrees. They don't notice the stress (most of the time - never had one hermie) and you'll be free of those straglers that want to 'walk towards the light'!

Twine, weight, and other crap just gets messy. I only use it to keep them up due to weight!
