I would move your lights closer to your plants.

Thanks will try that as my lights r at the sides so will move to on top low

I replied this in the other thread that you posted but you may want to plan on a SCRoG setup. Also, topping them will start bushier growth rather than straight up (at least in my limited experience), but they will still go up. I don't know how early is too-early to tie them down, but that's another option.

I like to light from above, then think of side lighting as additional. Topping will make for bushier plant and more smaller buds.
