I ended up getting some seeds from a guy I knew, I grew some in a 4 x 4 x8 foot tent & now several of the branches are getting too tall, What is the best solution to fix this during the flowering stage? the other 2 ended up males

When I grew in a tent I would typically tie them down

I appreciate the comments but what was said to do before flowering, the issue I have is that I thought the plants were to be autos but being photos which are taller than the autos but too big & too close to the light, I should have added the net earlier but didn't think I'll need it with 1 auto but ended up being way too big, Is there anything I could do to keep the branches from burning?

Supercrop. Sometimes you have to get a little brutal.

Yes you can still supercrop now and fix the issue.

I'd get some garden canes , make yourself a naughts n crosses grid using a couple of zip ties on each join then supercrop half way down and sit your grid over and use garden ties to loosely hold branched where you want them. You can but a bend in several places to shape it how you see fit

I’d LST those branches down… but my question is.. if that’s an 8ft tent.. how tall is that plant? Looks like maybe 4ft? So I’d guess there would be plenty of room. My perception could be off.. it’s 4:42 am & the coffee isn’t even on. How close is the plant to the light actually?

Yeah. Read the definition for supercropping which was quickly suggested.

which I think it's a dead cause now which the plant stopped growing buds, the top leaves were burned, but I appreciate the comments, it was my 1st grow, I noticed the lights I bought are the blurple types & looks like a need a better grow to light any advice which I should use on a 4 x 4 x 8-foot tent?
