2 weeks into flowering running out of space. Topping?

[lefthanded]

Im 2 weeks into flowering and only have about a foot left in my tent. Would I lose yield if I topped them now?? Is this the only option??

I dont recommend cutting them but instead you can try to tie them over. Cutting them could lead to major problems. Try anything you can besides cutting them and if you try to tie them over, do it about 30min after you water so they are more flexible.:thumbsup:

I wouldn't top them. Especially while there flowering. Do some LST.:thumbsup:

if you do as the others suggested you will INCREASE yield most likely .

How would doing nothing increase yield?
Also Thanks for the input guys.

On the previous post's we advised that you do an LST. :thumbsup: tie your plants down.

It's not doing nothing!!! It is a way of training your plant and that can benifit you in the long run.:thumbsup:

Sorry guys this is only my second grow first indoors. I was just wondering how by only tying them down would INCREASE yield. Thanks for the reference I will do some reading now. haha

I just read not to do it during flowering??? also they were topped once during veg. Is it safe to do both?

LST or also hard stress training will work as well, HST is when you take the main cola or colas, and strap them down . Here is Jason demonstrating Hard stress trianing,
