I would tie them down personally. You don't want to top the colas when you already started flowering. JMO. You could also consider using some bushmaster in the second week of flower, that will help stop vertical growth as well. They usually only "stretch" for about two weeks, once you start seeing balls of hairs on the tops they are pretty much done stretching (maybe a couple inches at the most after that). I generally account for them to double in size during this two weeks (I usually grow sativa crosses, Indica has less stretch). Also if you can take your grow yos off and hang your lights directly from ceiling you will get a couple extra inches as well. Good luck

thanks man I appreciate the advice, I tied them down a bit last night, but will take better look at them today. It's crazy but the indica strain (cheese) has been stretched like crazy, it passed up the sour diesel which is like 90% sativa!

Anyway, yea I really don't like the idea of topping them either so I figure if I bend them all a bit then I can arrange them for them to fit over each other like this " / / / ". The yoyo's are as high as they go so once they start getting close to the light again I'll take em off, at this point I'm looking for any inch of space I can get.
