Hello Forum, I need some advice

These 4 girls are 2 months old and have another 3 weeks before being put into flowering.  
They look good, but they are very bushy, so I am afraid the air won’t circulate well. I have a good clip-on fan for the canopi e una for the roots.  
They are also tall, and I can’t move the light up any further.  
I also trimmed them at the bottom, I have used some LST on some branches, but they just got out of control.

I’d confess I did a lot of topping 😭 too many, I think, and there are dozens of news spurts everywhere. OK, I won’t do it next time, but what’s best to do now?  
How much can I take off?  
Thank you to everyone who has some suggestions ❤ 💙

I’d definitely flip. I’ve had photos triple in height and width. 3 more weeks and that forest is going to be an absolute jungle!

Edit/add… To your question of what to do. I’d do a minor trim of larger fan leaves that won’t really tuck out of the way. Not much. Just to help with air flow and light. Then flip in 3-5 days. Probably have to do some supercropping later, but that’s nothin major.

Since these are still in veg you can just re tie the whole thing bending them over from the shortest point that is still flexible.  
if you have no room to do this or the stems are to thick and stiff you have a decision to make. Since you are in veg you could supercrop this back a foot and do better on training. The smaller sites will fill in as you still have some time.  
In any event you have so many things at the same time ( light distance and airflow ) that you need to decide about 2 weeks ago…

How much headroom do you have to raise lights? If not much I personally would see if i could lst or supercrop now. Photo so some time. Gently bend branches down and out. Not from base…do it like a fishing pole. As close to top of branch as possible if bend. This takes a LOT of stress off of branch/trunk junction. Once spread defoliate. Leave all branches for now except the ones deep in going nowhere. Allow the center to reach. It will fill in with pruning. All your edges will turn up. Supercrop main or mains down and position over center. 2 more weeks veg. Flip.  
Being patient and gentle with that healthy plant and she can take a complete reshaping. Once flipped and close to or after stretch ends remove wasted lower branches/leaves. Keep a full canopy and everything up top will be all you stress.  
I know this is a novella but I just did a stress experiment on Hindu Kush. To alleviate a little worry here are some pics. You will not be anywhere near as invasive.

The air refers to moving air through the canopy. You can not get much through that plant. Remember slow wafting not a fan on medium.

The light refers to you running out of grow room as the light is up as high as it can go. Both these problems are overdue and you should act soon to help keep your yield up.

You can do this. Many roads. Super or tie them down and train on the horizontal if you have sideways room

Crap so I do not scrog but he could bend em over and spread them under a net for sure.

Understand the plants will be in situ until the end of the grow.

That could turn out just fine

Well clearly they are photos, supercrop them bushy giants and let them recover once you see nodes perking back up flip to flower to get your stretch in B4 your height is eaten up again.

Ok, thats what i did, maybe i cut too much? But look at them, they look great.  
I am aware some branches are running away still but it’s ok.
