hell no you cant save them.

Best you might be able to do is cut the tops and try to save them that way.

wow....that is the worst case of stretching ive ever seen.

first off what lights are you using?

plants stretch to reach toward light, cannabis is a very light wanting plant.

Right now these stretched babes are just ideal for planting out as a gorilla grow,, those very very long stems once buried, in pot or ground will form roots in 10 days or so, long stems outside mean no or low water issues, later in the year, so are just ideal for a private outside arid grow spot ...good luck

Wow, those look like chives or something.

I would transplant those in to whatever larger bucket you had planned and bury the trunk as deep as the pot will allow. If you really want to get crazy you can drill some 1/4" holes along the lip of your larger bucket, and using twist ties train the plants to grow horizontally around the perimeter of the buckets. An old member here by the name of Hobbes used to grow like this. He called it the "crop circle of buds". He would end up with a bucket o' buds with a canopy no higher than 12-16 inches high.

Best of luck

In europe the aristocracy likes rhubarb grown like this ..with very little light, simply by placing a road/traffic cone, over the germing plants to offer an inch of light at most per sq. foot, they say it makes it taste very sweet
