Plant shrinkage

So this is odd. past few weeks my buds have been bang against the led glass panel as I have no more vertical space. last night when lights came back on I noticed the 2 main buds are no longer touching the glass, rather just standing there. I am guessing there is some shrinkage.

Tried googling it but cant seem to find any mention of this.

I never noticed this in my last 2 grows as I had a much bigger cabinet then.

Oh and for the last 2-3 weeks she has been on a 10/14 lights schedule as I wanted to finish sooner. So keeping this in mind I am now at 2 months and 4 days since lights flipped.

So is this normal? the shrinking that is.

maybe it went for a swim...I know that gives me shrinkage

hahahahaha. thats the first thing that came to my mind. Damn cold shrinkage !!

So just for comparison sake here are the before and after pix. Before is 17 Jan and after is 29 Jan. The burning leaves are for sure from being so close to the lights.

Edit: BTW the after pic thats 2 main colas not just 1.

my guess would be they got heavier. I don't think you should have your lights tilted like that. someone told me years ago it makes hot spots on the bulb or can start a fire. I don't know if it's true or not but I don't see anyone else doing it.

Actually The lights are that way because my cabinet is too small. I got these 50w's without measuring stuff. Figured might as well use it for now. I will be getting a single 100W led for the next run.

Is there a chance of fire? My lights on is at night.

Lol i didnt think of that. They might be heavier. But looking good.
