Question Should I top off my Jack Flash #5?
I'm in my second series of grows. My flower room has an approximate 7' ceiling. I vegged under Florescent lights, but now flowering under 400w HPS bulb. I started flowering 2 Jack Flash #5, that I had grown from seed, when they were both 10" about 15 days ago. They are both now right at 36" and looking extremely healthy.

I keep the light about 16-17" above the top of the plants, so I don't feel like they should be stretching. According to the Sensi Seed site, I still have another 40-55 days of flowering and the strain can reach heights of 5-6 ft. Obviously I don't have the space to grow them that tall. But I'm also wondering if they should be tapering off growing, or since it's more sativa dominant I can expect more heighth gains and should look into topping them off.

Here's a couple of quick pics of one of my girls. Any tips and advice are kindly appreciated!

I was thinking about bending. But I currently have a Silver Haze that 55" bent over in my closet, along with a Super Skunk that's bush-like (both should be done flowering within 2 weeks, i hope). My closet is 7' tall and 7' wide, but only 3 ft wide. So I'll be running out of space quickly if I bend any more over I think.

Will topping it off significantly decrease my yield?

Its a little late in the game for topping but not too late,,, you will not get as much bud but if you need the room do it..............
