Big bud is out of control...

Hello growing community! Ive done lots of research on this website but have never posted until now...when I ordered 10 bubblegum seeds from 420, they fucked up and sent me 10 big buds. Big Buds are renowned too yield massive amounts and since I grow in a 3X3X5 tent, I figured Id start flowering and tie'em-down as soon as the 3 plants hit 12".
That was 9 days ago. Theyve since grown to 25" and I can no longer raise the lights. Anything else I can try? Or will I have to reorganize my room a little?

Also, here are some pics of my three flowers. Two of em are clearly females as they have lots of white pistils. What do you think of the 3rd & 4th one? I feel it looks like a female but they're arent any white hairs all light green.Female flower 2.jpgFemal flower.jpgconfused flower 2.jpgconfused flower6.jpg

you are still early enough into flower that toppin her will slow growth for a week, but it will also prevent her from stretching anymore..

I love big bud, massive yields and it just gets a person old school stoned..

you could top or supercrop them up to about the first 3 weeks of flowering.you can knock about a foot or more off their height and not lose your top cola by suppercropping them.I use this method when mine are getting too tall and it works great.It also allows more light to penetrate the lower nodes making nice buds.Read up on it.

If you're pressed for vertical space...try tying them down slightly...

Perhaps you've already done this...but im confused.

Your plants are 25" high, and thats too tall for a 5ft tall room?

Well the containers are about 1 ft tall and the tent is probably more like 4.5 ft tall

Sure theres a lot and that would take forever to tell u about it...so my advice would be to do some research on this great website. Here is where Ive learned everything I know about growing. Mainly make sure you give them lots of attention and quality products (I use Biobizz all organic)
