Your babies are light hungry! But instead of moving one of your lights down, how about adding another light, if possible.

Here's what you do about the "too tall" plants. Loosely tie a bit of natural fiber string (synthetics can cut plants!) around the stem of your plant about an inch or two down from the main bud. Just bend it enough to get it out of the lights. You don't want to break the stem! Attach the other end of the string to something- I have a few rough, rectangular rocks that are about 3 inches long that are perfect - I just wrap the string around one and set it in the pot. Plants are like people- the older they are the less flexible they are. Be gentle!

You want to gently bend your girls over in stages. Wait a day and bend it more. I just flip the rock and put another half wind on it. Repeat until they are how you want them.

With patience, you can get them bent low enough that you will be lowering your lights. This will also get light to the light starved lower branches.

Now, go do some reading. The search engine awaits you!- Granny:hippy:
Storm Crow Reviewed by Storm Crow on . to close to light - what to do? Hello, have 2 beautiful plants growing, atomic northern lights. These 2 plants are growing in hydro, for about 6 weeks now, been in flowering mode for 2 weeks. The problem i have is they continue to grow taller, even though i topped them using the FIM method. Should i continue to keep moving the lights up? I am hesitant as the foliage down below (see pictures) will continue to get less and less light. Some of the leaves next to the lights are burning (turning brown). Rating: 5
