Topping In Flower To Even Canopy

[LiftedMind]

I'm growing 4 strains. 3 are the same height while one has stretched like a mf.
I'm 3 weeks into flowering.

I'm wondering if it's safe to cut off the top of a plant, 3 weeks into flower, to even my grow canopy. I'll lose some top cola bud, but I don't care much about that.

I know I could just raise them up. Just so you know I'm not retarded.

It would probably be better to tie it down...

If it stretched that much, it's probably pretty pliable? Be really careful, you don't want to break the stem bending it.

I had some in my current grow that stretched so much that I bent them down, they stretched some more, so I tied them down again and I now have a stem that looks like a long sideways U

LOL. Maybe I am retarded and my parents never told me.
That was a pretty simple and effective solution. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Thanks to you both!
Rep for both.
