Question for the scroggers

Last time i grew this strain she got huge 7ft+ which i wasn't expecting and it caused a few probs with lighting.
So this time i put her in flower sooner and screened her. My question is, 3wks into flower and most of the vertical growth has slowed down for now. Should i tie the branches down closer to the screen or should i let run the way they are? I was kind of leary about it because the bud spacing is so tight coming down from tops.
Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance and happy harvesting.

No need to tie down, leave them alone. Since they won't get any taller.
you want those kolas above the screen.

Cool thanx, its just last time once the vert growth slowed down she went into a slow but steady climb until i was having to reach up to grab the cola and im 6'3.
Guess i should have mentioned that. Sorry

While im here. 1 other question. In the middle of the screen the foliage is a light green. Its under a 6bulb t5 so its getting even light distribution. My question is do you think lack of air circulation to center of canopy could be causing co2 issues with that section? Maybe lack of co2 so therefore no chlorophyll production/

make sure u got fans blowing.on.them
I've got fans on them. It's a 3x4 screen and with the t5 only 2inches above them, i was wondering bout the circulation to middle of canopy. If maybe a small fan at base blowing air up thru the middle of the canopy.

I am hesitant to say this since it's a t5 but it sounds like the beginning of light BLEACHING.

I am having the same issue as yours due to height limit but mine is a 1k hps. I think if you move lights up a little it will be fine. I don't know it the leaves will get their color back as I had to un-wantingly supercrop to keep them from being too close to light yesterday.
