Hey guys, so I am having some problems, my plants are too big, don't know what to do with them.

I am growing indoor in 120x120 cm tent, I am using 600w HPS bulb, 9 plants all of them are in 30l pots. At the moment I am around 1.5 - 2 weeks into flowering. My strain is Skunk XL from Royal queen seeds. I would really appreciate any help on what should I do about it.

easy fix for a fast fix just lean all the pots over

and use a product with triacontanol in it to reduce stretch then you can start tying the plants down or get a screen set up or what ever you want if you want to go more organic anything with kelp or kelp extract will also reduce upward growth a lot

I dont see where OP has room to tie and lst:( Cutting back wont harm the plant anymore then lst only 1.5-2 wks into flower. I cut back my plants all the way up till 3 wks into flower. (more lollipopping at that point;))

that many plants in such a small space that are doing well! You should top, lollipop, and throw up a trellis about a week or 2 before flowering. Best bet at this point I believe. Find some unproductive lower branches near your tallest. Prune them out and stake and tie down to the area you created?

Ok guys, first of all, thank you so much for being here.
There are so many different opinions....
The problem is not about how tall they are, I can still put my lights higher so they should be fine, I was thinking the problem is that they are very dense, and as I understand from Diabolical666 words, it should be ok to cut some lower branches in order for the higher to have some more space.
I am 2 weeks into flowering(±)

Oh hell yeah you can...its lollipopping all the weak branches off and giving all the energy to the tops. Apple growers do this (probably where we got the idea from). They take all the weak branches off bc they know they will just be wee lil apples. Even those stringy little branches on the main stems can come off to give more energy to tops

Yes, any lower branch with little popcorn buds, cut them out. Its lollipopping, just keep in mind next time. You can lollipop before you start flowering and your girls will not waste the energy on those to begin with. You need to do it NOW though...
