My plants are growing way too tall I dont have any room left HELLLPPP!!

[kingucci]

I have about ten plants under a 1000watt HPS light and they are about 15in away from the light. I know this is too close but the top of the plants dont get that hot because the room gets cool air inside which help them stay cool. Im in week two of flowering and I know they are not gonna stop growing. They are like 36in. tall.

My ? is.. is thier any thing I can do right now to make them from getting super tall?? Is it too late to try and fix this problem? Eventually im gonna run out of room. FYI this is ma first indoor grow. THis pics is from last week they grew like 10in. since then.

yes i agree with tikiroom SuperCropping or even fim the plant im sure you can do this up to week 5 of flowering there are other methods for after 5 week best bet google FIM and SuperCropping also you can fix some mesh above the plants to stop them passing the point you want i think this method is called scroging its a good way, no dammage to plants and can be done at any stage
GOOD LUCK m8ty

You can do one or both of my suggestions....you can bend the tops in such a manner that the plant will start growing sideways. PIA but it works. Other alternative is a Vertical Growth Inhibitor such as Bushmaster or Phosphoload. I will not tell. you dosing, it is potent stuff.....and if planning on reusing the pot, wash it after the plant is dead.
