My plant is way too big.

I was growing some strawberry cough... my first and only feminized seed that grew. I grew it for 2 months in about 1 1/2 gallons of soil under 3200 lumens until it was 2 feet(it completely outgrew the soil by halfway through the second month). I waited so long to flower it because i was trying to get some clones to survive before i budded her. She has been budding for almost a week now under 150 watts of HPS and has grown about 6 inches. So she's 2'6" now. I only have about a foot left of room to grow her until she starts to burn near the HPS. Because of the growth rate i'd say i have about 2 weeks MAX till i reach critical height. The problem is that i believe they tend to grow for about 5 weeks before the buds fatten, not 3?

I think that the small root mass might keep it from growing too much... but i'm afraid it may also lead to ridiculously tiny buds(I intended to offset by making sure it's fed very well).

I'm wondering if I should

A. try some low stress training
B. try topping it(sounds stupid I know)
C. put the light on the side of the plant so that it starts to grow sideways
D. bend the main stem so that it focuses more on lower growth

I was also wondering if i should bother moving it into a bigger pot this late in the game.
 
i would move it to a bigger pot.

i would bend the branches at the tops or tie them over.

it is probably going to be 8 weeks until its done flowering.

YOU SHOULD ADD BUSHMASTER RIGHT NOW. it will seriously limit the heighth and give you fat dense buds
 
You could transplant if you want,just give them superthrive,before you do it.Or cut off the cheap lil bottom branches,if you have any.You could also try bending it if it has a tuff enough stem,I cut off the lower branches ,this makes the plant focus its energy on the main fat flowers.
