If they've been budding for 2 weeks they shouldn't stretch much more.

 

You could tie them down (good thick-but-light 'twine', so it wont cut into the stems) so the tallest branches are level with the lower branches

OR

You could chuck in an oscillating fan or two blowing straight at the canopy, and this would allow them to be a lot closer to the lights without burning

 

Edit: Id just tie them down in your situation. Those biggest/ main tops will have the biggest and best quality bud also, so i wouldnt cut them and id try to have them in the best light

Hi there aussiegrow,

I agree with Bil, so long as you are not 12/12, chop away. But in 12/12 tie down. DO NOT CHOP. If you're going to tie down don't use fishing line

 

Just some advice

Mate I have used a product called "U-Turn" before. Just added it to the resovoir and my plants stopped stretching overnight. I also vegge'd too long.

I have heard a lot of people don't like using chemical height restrictors, but I have had no drama, didn't affect the taste or anything. Might be an idea. Tying down is a great way to minimize height while also increasing yield, I would attempt to tie it down first before using U-Turn. However I am not sure on your growing room and size of plant etc.
