I assure you, you can. Sometimes mine are almost 90 degree angle bend

Just start with a little bit and every day do a bit more.
Give her a day or two. Youll see some of those branches shoot up. Then you can re jig it again

Day 65 in total. Day 1 of flower. I defoliated a pretty good bit to provide more light thru the canopy. I did snip some of the bud sites near the bottom. There are a ton of bud sites so hopefully she will be a producer. Question is should I defoliate a little more or let her be? @chris_barfield @Todd.grobo @Bplatinum9 @SilverGrobo

Day 71. Flower 5/39. She stretched so much I pushed coco pod down a little and tied colas off to the side to keep them from getting burned by light. Should I still be tucking leaves at this point in the grow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! @Todd.grobo @chris_barfield @Bplatinum9 @SilverGrobo

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.
