Hi All... Some of my plants are way over 6 feet tall. Unfortunatley I need to shorten them because they are way higher than anything in the area. Is there a way to do this without ruining them? Please help!!!

look up LST( low stress training) or topping. Both methods work very well.

I wonder how plants that tall would take to bending?

Ya boomwhomp has a point, topping isnt succesful with all breeds but its just trial and error you could come out with a much bigger yeild. See how flexible that stem is and tie a thin nylon string around it tie the other end to a coathanger or spike and stick it in the ground then bend her about 1- 2 inches over every day. Training is the shit i have my plants growing across the ground like vines, and you usually get a shitload more yeild....

Try going half way down the plant as long as its not flowering yet and cut the main stem between two branches, hopefully it wont stress her to much.

But just remember if she is flowering then topping is not an option, way to much stress on the girl best bet is to train her

I got 10 footers that I LST'ed. start with a small curl and the add some weight every few days so she'll adapt and before to long, I tied it back to main stem. they're now about 7' and look great.

Yep, too late to top. If she is still flexible enough tie the top down. How far into flowering are they???
