Supercropping Advice--Plant is too tall!

Sooo my flowering room was occupied and I had to leave two of my veg plants for a while....and they happened to get "too tall". I just put them into flowering, and they're the height of the lights. This happened with my last crop (for the next crop, I'm going to grow from seed instead of cloning to space them out better) and I could see that the plants had a severe lack of light because of how tall they are.

I've topped during veg before, but apart from that, my supercropping experience is very limited. Any advice on what the best technique might be at this stage of the game? They've been in flowering for about a week and are about an inch taller than my lights (not worried about them touching the lights since it's LED). I've already raised the lights to the max, and am now limited by the ceiling. I'm growing in a tent, 350W flowering LED w/90W red UFO, FFOF soil, FF full line of nutes, RO water PH'ed to ~6.3, humidity ~55%.

Thanks in advance for helping out! :-)image(17).jpeg

You could chop off the top couple feet or try putting a net over her and pulling her down. Chopping her down would have been a better idea a few weeks ago. I don't know that super-cropping her at this point will do enough good.

No only once, still pretty new to this and at first was doing only completely vertical grows....

Honestly she her twin just got out of hand; I was away a lot the last couple weeks and paying more attention to some of their little sisters that weren't as healthy.

You're not the first person to over veg a plant. I know I did that starting out! Read up on different canopy management techniques for the next go and you'll get a better yield per kwh.
