TOO TALL FOR GREENHOUSE

I have 5 plants in pots in my greenhouse that have reached its ceiling. They have started to flower, so I'm afraid it's too late to top or bend the stems. What should I do?

Letting the buds crash into the roof of the greenhouse will create a moisture crisis that will result in mold plaguing your plants.

Even at this late point Bend the stems and then support the bends or creases with dowels or bamboo stakes so they stay upright. You may be also able to support the growth by tying them to the greenhouse structure.

Try to open up the space to light as you manipulate the plants so that as much bud as possible receives direct light.
