My plants are attacking my light and it’s fighting back.

Ok so I’m in my second week of flower and my plants are as big as my tent and hitting my light In return the light is toasting them.

you could try bending your plants down or set your pots at a 45 degree angle the tie down the steam a lil would give u a lil more room i would think

I tried tilting the pots and strategically moving the branches. It looks like they are struggling.

Agree with big daddy try bending away from light .quite a few ways to go about it.you can drive a stake into pot bend branch then tie to stake.even supercropping and tying to stake..can you take a pic of your room with plants so guys can see what can b done to help..

 

[biggerbud420]

you might just have to get a bigger box

i would just try to bend on the main steam but really that isnt gonna get u alot more room only inches

I just don’t want them stressed or burnt. They are big already.

if mine don't start flowering soon i will probably run out of room myself i got like 6 to 10 more inches i can move my light up and i do not want to top one of mine just started to show sex so i am thinking i might be close on flowering

you just need to get you a bigger box or consider just taking them outside and starting over new in your box

I have a negative pressure exhaust system sucking the hot air out of the tent, a fan on it in the air-conditioned room and the humidifier inside the tent. On bad days it’ll hit high 80s but it’s been doing very well my biggest problem is I have three plants where I should have 2 and waited to long to top them. (I think)

What wattage is your light? You might be able to lower your wattage, it's not like you have a big foot print to cover.

i agree with cemchris cut while your 2 weeks in don't wait any longer. you don't have much of a choice unless you move them to a new home.

Hodgepodge. I wouldn’t even bother with a tent, creating more work and unnecessary stress. Look into purchasing a new tent.
