Oh shit yeah you don't have much horizontal space to work with either. Hmm. You might have to break her arms like @Little Brother said. I mean you really could use another tent....

Hmmm, I guess maybe try and bend the lower part of the plant into something like the letter "S", just back and forth the goal being reduction of overall height. You could also sacrifice a few limbs...
Hmmm I don't want to loose any limbss. So I think I need to have a look into super cropping. Like squishing the stem of the top colas and bend them to the side or something..
@Geordiejesus could you put your extraction set up outside the tent and steal a few inches up top? Like this
I see what you mean but my extractor is at its highest point. Its the cable that the light is on I tried putting the bar through the cable instead of using the ratchet to give is that extra inch but is wasn't lying straight.

There's a bunch of good tutorials out there for super cropping but yeah that's the nuts and bolts of it. Crush them enough to lay them over but not enough to open up the stem too much. I crushed one on accident knocking my fan down like a dummy. Folded her closed and never looked back. Hard to see but if you look close you can see a 90° bend in the back.
Yeah man I can see it... Did she recover well off that accidental break?... I know how to do it just the case I haven't put it into practice apart from when Ive practiced on defoliated stems to get the feel of the crush.... I'm just abit wee scared with it being my first run haha
Alright you probably thought of this but what if you hook your ratchets straight to the light and don't use their little cable hangy mabobberthingy?
I wouldn't have done it by choice either. I knew you wouldn't want to either lol. I think we're that much alike. Yeah it took two days for the top to point back up to the light so I think she survived just fine. I also broke two on my other girl a while back. I mean hanging off the main stem by a thread, almost clean snapped off. I used my trusty garden twine to pull the up and into place, taped em with painting tape to keep it closed, within a week they were fully rejoined and growing again, able to take the brace and tape off. These girls are tougher than we think lol
Yeah bro I totally hear you. I think it's because we've put the work into it and we don't want to harm the ladies, I legit feel like a father to these plants..... I was thinking about not suing the cable thingy I just need to figure out which way around this issue is best... The lsd 25 she's already lost one of her main stems when a boom fell in me tent I had to cut it off and tape it as it split down the stem... She didn't flinch one bit.... Atm I'm sat here with me tent open smoking a fat one figuring this out haha
