Will I run out of height space?

What up Potheads?

Im running into a problem. My plants is in about two weeks into flowering. I got about 6" inches left before it hits the 1/4" tempered glass. I only gave it 3' feet and 8" inches height space. I know I should have topped them off when they were smaller. Or even do that thing where you train them to bend around the pot. So basically my question is how much more does the plant grow during flowering. Sorry about the crappy pictures.
Thanks

you should be fine, the main growth spurt is over, they might grow a few more inches but that's it.

lol you didnt tell us what week of flowering your in, but your gonna need mor espace, undoubtably. Thats gonna be challenging, your prly better off weighting the tips with a brick and some gardeners rope. You can bend em in all different directions, make sure they bend so they get enough light and dont overlap. Thats basically your best bet at this point, and if your already like 5 weeks, its gonna be hard to bend em- but if your 5 weeks they wont grow much more either...

Crazy,

the pics look like you just started flowering, first couple weeks... your gonna need space or some serious bending, you should be able to bend, judging by the pics-

Best of Luck

lol my bad...

but the main growth spurt is far from over at 2 weeks, he's got growth to come for sure.

I would agree with GANGJABABY, you should be fine, they really just have a big growth spurt the first two or three weeks anyway. And like he said they should only grow a few more inches. They will just start to get thick and fill out. Now if they are sativas they may grow a tad bit more than a few inches but either way you will be fine. If push comes to shove, tied the big plant away from the light, I'm sure you can come up with a simple solution for that. Good luck.

check out my gallery- my plants grew quite a bit in weeks 2-6 more than the 4 inches he has allotted them...

Thanks everyone for you feedback. The brick and rope sounds preatty good. Or I could also lift the glass and the hps about 3" or 4" inches. And thats it from there becuase of the intake fan being in a low spot. And, running out of room. I figured out it only holds 2 plants in flowering. I need more space. My first Grow attempt that grew to big for my bathroom window. Into this box. I've put so much work into this grow box. But I did see a closet/cabinet at Home Depot about 8' H X 3'W X 6'L for about $110. Would look a lot better camaflouged in my living room where Im growing next to the window. LOL
