Hey guys, I put CFLs on the side, and now all my lower branches have stretched out from the side... they are budding, but getting VERY close to the lights. How do I stop them from growing into the lights? It is about to become too big for the space I have.

I would just let the branches grow into the light ... they will be minimally damaged, but you are getting growth there that you would normally not have anyway ... still bonus bud ... :smokin:

If youve got CFL's, they can get as close as they want to the light - just make sure that the buds/branches dont touch the light at all. The light should only be a couple of inches away from the buds/branch.
You could make a screen out of wire mesh, or just tie the branches round with some string if youre worried about them touching the light.

Thanks guys! I generally only try to keep them 1-2 inches away. But I water this thing, then that night the frikin thing grows up into the lights above, and into the lights on the side.
This thing has a ton of bud sites. At least half of them coming from shoots that came from the mid/bottom of the plant and headed for the side lights once I placed them on.

I am actrually going to have to convert a closet that is 8' X 12' and 7' high so I can put the plant in there. When I started this flowering (about 12 days ago) It was about 2 & 1/2 feet talle and around The thing is over 3' by 3' already. I am afrai this is going to approach 6X6 before it is done.

Do you know of pics that will show how to tie these off? If I screen it, will it limit the buds shooting out taller?

I am going to move some of the lights closer now. Thanks for the suggestions...

PS Can fan leaves touch the bulbs?

you need to bend the upper most tallest branches around in the box at a good hight and lower the light some from the top to get as much penatration as you can till you r ready to harvest...it will be worth the effort ...just be easy with her...it cant happen all in one day...lol...
