Hi Cuz,
Your plant looks great! You might consider super cropping. That'll give you some vertical room/time to grow.
Good luck

It should be done stretching now pistols are showing already
Well, you got two options - supercropping (which I find a little untidy), or chopping the two tallest stems to canopy level
Both are stressful and will set you back a week or so but there's no other way to deal with the height problem
Personally, I chop the tops off and be done with it - you could even try rooting them to flower later if you have the space

I would not cut anything... Bend them over and tie them down... I just went through the same thing, I had a three week stretch when I flipped to flower, the girls stretched two feet. 
Super-cropping is not stressful.
Don't top specially in flower.
Bend that main stem a little shorter than you want it to be. Squeeze the stem and the bending point before you bend it. Makes it softer so it wont crack in half.
Tie that bended top back to the main stem with a wire.
Bobs got it nailed.So the stretch happened and wow this thing is tall. What should I do about this im out of space? Any suggestions Also do yall see any branches that should be eliminated?
No stress no problems.

I don't even bother pinching the stem, just be gentle when you pull it over !
Cheers.
Cheers.
I mention pinching cause noob with super-cropping. I've broken off a few in my day. It's not terribly difficult to do. Specially plants that are well watered.

Any one of the above e ideas or.....but a taller tent!
Supercropping for the win and if you do break a stem then tape it up - maybe add a bamboo stake or wire tie to the tent frame to support the weight and keep on trucking
