Plant too tall for environment

I have a Canteloupe Haze that has outgrown its environment. The light is as high as it can go already and she’s touching it again. Just now in early flower.

This is my setup I have. Spider Farmer 2x2

Outside isn’t an option, Temps average 0⁰C to 10⁰C.

A friend suggested I cut the floor out and raise the tent. I don’t feel comfortable cutting up my brand new tent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


I watched a video by Kyle kushman on super cropping. I hope I did it right. The outer layer didn’t break. And the weight of the stalk is holding itself down.

Supercrop! Roll the stem at the point where you want to bend with firm pressure until you can feel the fibers loosen up, bend down and support. Best not to break skin but if you do, don’t worry. You can prevent bacterial issues by wrapping it up. Plants look good and healthy so should be no problem with stress, especially this early in flowering. You may need to keep them tied down and re-bend as she stretches further. One of my Punch Pies got that way and just went haywire. I had to supercrop some stems 2-3 times. Good luck.

Thanks @canagen. I’ll give it a try. Normally, they only get as big as the superglue. How far down should I supercrop?Supercross? 12 inch mark is at the light.

That’s where I would have bent them. You may have to do that again as they stretch more.

I can’t thank you enough. I’ve never had one stretch so crazy before.

My mistake, it was the GDP and not the Punch Pie that did it to me:

Notice the 3 bends and it still reached the light. I should have kept it tied down when I did the first bend (lowest).

This is the result after 3 days of super cropping. I didn’t do them all. Only the ones that touched, or went past the light.

That’ll work. Might need to tie them down again after they have fully recovered and start stretching back up. Those stems will try and get back up.
