Your light seems far, that would get them to stretch even more I'd think. My led is about 15" to 18" from the tops
 
I apologize for not mentioning this ... but I moved the light up before the photo. Started seeing signs of burn.
 
I think it's to late to do any thing but tie the branches away from the middle and bend them down as much as poss. U could weight them down to get away from light and it gives u more room for up growth just my .02$

I think Potted has got this right. Bend them over as far as you can without super cropping. With a sativa dominant strain, you may well still have 5 to 7 (or possibly more) weeks to go.

Great looking plant by the way.
 
One other thing that some have done, to revert back to your veg light to provide more blue spectrum to slow stretch.
 
I'm with Weed Pharma, Hopefully you'll see an end to upwards growth soon. This said, I had a sativa that just wouldn't stop growing ever. I'd be tempted to lollipop her and resort to supercropping if you run out of ceiling height.
 
I would supercropp real lightly and gentle just enough to tie down some of the tallest branches. Little stress won't affect much if you still have several weeks to go and no hurry. Better to harvest a a week later than run out of space or try to supercropp once developement has stoped and began ripenin
 
I had a huge Blackjack I had to tie down, she was 6 feet going into flower but I tied the stems down and around a cage, kind of like a big whirlpool shape. Just be careful, I ended up splitting a stem doing it.
 
Supercroping has no negative effects at all... it can be done at any stage through the plant's life with no ill effects ever ....bend them girls right over...first rolling between your fingers to soften them up then bend them right over...sativas..they will grow and grow...
 
This ^^ is something I learned about last year-don't be afraid to make a knuckle in a stem and bend them over. Just find a spot on the stem that isn't woody and give it a nice pinch-I pinch in one direction and then at a right angle-this doesn't damage the stem and allows you to fold an unruly branch over. Makes the canopy level and creates alot of new bud growth. A little B&D isn't a bad thing......
