    HELP! Unexpected strech advice

    Hello friends. Hope you all are doing well !
    First photoperiod indoor grow and my tops are around 10cm from the Led as I did not anticipate such a stretch.
    On full blast the led is 240Watts ( Quantum board) .
    Its dimmed to around 60% but tops still showing signs of light stress. If I dim the LED even more so lets say I have 150watts, 10 cm from the tops, will that be fine and sufficent for flowering and growing big buds without actually being on 240Watts? Will the plant percieve the same light as lets say 240WATTS 30cm away when its dimmed to 150WATTS 10cm away ? I know its way to close either way, but I dont realy have a choice here. No room for LST too. Would appreciate some advice . Thank you !Click image for larger version

    Bend and tie the plant down and turn the light up, if you smash the steam a bit it will fold over easy without breaking. Makes the canopy more even and lets the lights penetrate into the plant, it wont even slow her down.

      I remove (indoor) bud sites that are out of range of the lights, I have 15 clones from a Greasy Grapes started, and more to come from trimming (and then the others). The 2 I just bent over are 3 weeks into flower from the 12/12 flip, once you do this a few times you'll have it down, go for it.
