Solutions for lights being too close

I have a plant that has grown way taller than expected and I am currently short on room in my tent. The plant has grown within three inches of my 400 watt hps light! I realize the recommended distance is around 1 ft but I cannot move my light any further from the top. The plant is flowering; I can keep my hand above my plant for a long period of time without and discomfort, and I have a couple of extra fans to help keep the heat down..... Is my plant screwed or is there anything that will help? Any recommendations?

PLEASE HELP! & thanks in advance

Break her neck....

Grab her about 6 or 8 inches down from the top.....and snap her neck!

For real.

Damn. That just seems fucked up. I can literally leave my hand under the light all day. Is it really necessary? Could I just tie her down?

Lol....sure you can.

Sorry i got so carried away there on ya.

Found a good article on how to's

I'll probably tie the cola down then. Just for curiosities sake though, is it even necessary if I can leave my hand under the light?

I would.

If ya feel like doin more searchin look into how taste can be affected from hps being to close.

Just tied it down or stick a screen over it, or just pull everything out of the tent and finish flowering, since your probably pretty close to harvesting anyway.

tie it I had the same problem with some Saginaw I grew my 400ws were literally attached to the roof and one cola still grew into it I ended up having to tie it down

Done deal. Do you all think that the cola's development will be effected negatively by being bent away from the light?

No....you will be fine.
