Be carefull with bending, do it bit by bit real slowly if you can, sometimes this late in the game you can't bend at all then other methods may work for your situation

If you vent the light you might get away with growing closer to it.

Is this a pure Sativa strain,if it is, there may still be upwards of 6 weeks left in which case some of the more exteme methods may be considered like topping.

either way the link to lst will likely steer you in the right direction.

Help I was trying LST and bent turned to fold ove and creasing the stalk on the main stem just above a node 3 nodes from the top-- and on top of that the top of the main stem got too close to the light and got withered up anfell about an inch fron the top--
What should I do I was thing of cutting at the crease in the stem - its about 1 1/2 ft down the stem.
will the rest survive?
Any other suggestions would help thanks in advance

Straiten out the stock and support it with something like a pencil or popsicle stick. It should be OK. Can you tip the whole pot and plant at an angle to make it lower?
