Tying it down is better than topping at this stage. I think you will be fine with those 2 strains though. The lemon should be nearly finished stretching and I've never seen a blue-cheese stretch very much beyond 2 weeks.

One thing I've done before is hang something like a X-mas ornament on the top to weigh it down just a little, once the top starts getting heavy it will start sagging a little bit on its own.
DogtowN Reviewed by DogtowN on . skunk too big! hi all, i'm currently 2 weeks in flower and one of my babies is getting dangerously close to my light. i've got 2 x lemon skunk, and 2 x blue cheese under a 400w hps in a 75x75x1600 budbox. 1 of the plants is 12" taller than the others, but they all started at the same time! i've got 6 weeks of flowering remaining, and about 2' of space for it to grow into. my question is, if i really have to top it or tie it down, which will cause the least amount of stress to the plant.
