You need to start super cropping for sure

Did you purchase any supports when you bought your grobo?
I use them to lst/supercrop the light way.
Use them to bend the branches down and around the walls of the grobo in circle form so they still have plenty of room to grow.
Uou can also use a scrogg up top to stop them from hitting the light as much.

Oh my bad! So you want to do your taller branches. I would go down maybe 6"-8" and what you want to do is pinch the stalk and soften it up, I pinch in the same spot but kinda rotate around that spot if you get what Iâm saying. And then you want to slowly bend it to a 90 degree. You may want to just have something keep it that way until she recovers so it doesnât shoot back up once a knuckle forms on the affected area, if you donât you just may need to do it again which happened on my last grow lol. Also bend your branches in a circle so they donât overlap eachother. Then you can maneuver your other branches around what youâve done to make sure theyâre still getting light. I would do this now to your tallest branches. The earlier the better so it has time to recover and focus on flower growth

Me personally with my experience would terminate. There are other options but you got lots more to chop off
Youâve probably got a couple record-setting fan leaves there â one of them seems to spread almost the entire width of the unit?!
I agree with Todd sheâs not going to stop stretching. Need to bend her at much lower points and/or just chop off some of the tops entirely and focus on lower buds giving them room to stretch. Might be a bit too late for that if sheâs already started flowering a lot though.
If you continue without doing much but bending the very tops, the yield will suffer for one reason or another and depending how much stress is needed to bend/crop it away from being burnt thatâll slow it down even more so (time to heal), which is why the recommendation is to terminate and not waste any more nutes than you have to. Itâll also be much more thirsty since itâs larger which will drain the water/nutes even faster. Itâs a compounding problem. Even just having more fan leaves means more to prune which adds to the stress and delays (and overall nutrient consumption). Those are the things to consider, really.
I would probably just chop the tops off and focus on remainder (leaving room to stretch a bit) but canât say for certain if thatâs actually the best thing to do.

Are those pics after you super cropped again? And when you do are they stay at 90 degrees? If not youâll have to use something to keep it at that 90 until she recovers or itâll just pick back up again.
Todd may be right on this one though if she wont stop youâre not going to get much or anything due to the burning on the top. Idk how she would take to cutting all the tops off. Could work but might shock her and might affect things too. Have you pushed the coco pod down at all? Wonât help much but might give you and inch or two

Drop the pod, buy some supports and magnetic hooks, trail the hooks along the wall in a circle around the wall of the grobo and hook your branches under the hooks with the hook part facing down so she doesnât wiggle out.
Making sure to not break, you can use your supports to hold the plant down until you can get them under the hooks without having to break.
Or
Use a scrogg at the top before you get close to the light and bend them under the scrogg.
Or
Take the plant out if possible and finish the grow in a tent or outside.

You have to super crop and tie down ⌠if I were Iâd super crop all those big branches again and tie them so they stay sideways⌠the buds will
Slowly face upward over the next few days âŚ
You also need to trim the hell out her too many leaves for that space your gunna run the risk of PM

Trimmed her up this morning! She is all tied down and pod is as far as it will go down. She has been very resilient! I just want to see her thru to harvest. I really appreciate all the insight!

Get you some grobo supports and anchor your branches from direct lighting so they donât burn.
