HELP! Top buds Way to close to light

[Coolbogge]

So i fucked up, didn’t stress test enough and did not start flower stage.

Now the buds are to close to the light, and are burning and may be a risk for setting it on fire (idk). Should I just cut the tall buds off and then lose it and let the plant focus on the buds below?

any ideas please 🙏

Super cropping is about all you can do at this point. Its not a pleasant thing to do but when this has happened to me I thin them out a bunch, yes I cut and toss branches with bud sites, and super crop them and spread them out to make a canopy that covers the foot print. Each bud site will produce a bud then sort of like you see in a SCROG. The stretch is over and this is a photoperiod correct? .

Yes they just entered week 4 of flower, so I will have to remove all the top buds, and maybe I can bend some of top buds.

I would super crop them and/or the suggestion below is a good one, throw a net over them and spread them out if you have enough room for the foot print.

Super crop is the way to go, or just hit them with a broom. Put a net on it, lower it down then bent the tall stems sideways and put them under the next square to keep in place. The plants can take it.
