Im starting the third week of flowering and they just keep growing, i cut the nitrogen way back and yet everyday i noticed about 1/4 to 1/2 inch growth. they are now about 4 in from the light and i cant get my light any higher. luckily i have an air cooled light so the heat isnt that bad about three inches below but today i noticed the leafs are folding like tacos, which from what i understand is due to heat stress. Not quite what to do since they still have a long haul ahead of them. Tomorrow im changin to aggressive bloom which completely cuts out the nitrogen, by the way im using gh 3part. Will this stop growth? What can i do about the plant tops too close to the light, should i bend them? Anyone looking to grow big bud be cautious!!! Pictures below.
