10in of growth in 8 days? Please read, lots of pics

Okay so i vegd for 12 days, then flipped them to 12/12 as soon as they hit 8inch on veg. Well im 8 days into my 12/12 cycle (JUST a little over a week) and my babies are now 18inches tall! they grew 10 whole inches in 8 days 12/12!

IM PERPLEXT AND ASTONISHED!!!!!!!! i use to be soil organic (3yr) this is my first run with hydro, using an 2ftx3ft ebb&flow w/600hps. Im not used to this type of rapid growth is this okay? Im 1 week into the first part of flower "the 3 week stretch period", will these plant still get taller for thew last two weeks of 'the 3 week stretch"?

The growth is awesome and thick , a truly healthy ass looking plant. Super hardy! Roots poppn outa the side of the smart pots that are an 1/8th+ thick! Super white hairy roots man!

Sorry about the HPS

NOW FOR THE QUESTIONS
View attachment 2393326Im very pleased with my plants, temps are always around 75-65F, Hum. at 20-50%, rez around 65-70F. Something tells me the dipped up edge is a sign of heat...? like form the hps that i keep about 8-12in away....

View attachment 2393325Now i believe you should NEVER prune your plants once a 12/12 has been initiated. PERIOD! But i know that lots of you LOLLY POP with great success so.....
How far down do i trim every thing off and when should this be done??????? IM 1wk and 2days into flower. Like i said above theses babies were 8 in tall when i flipped em now they are 18in tall! I know a 600w HPS is really only affective for 2.5ft or so ........... Please help me with this one guys, will it "retard" flowering like all these books say?

Well that sucks, i duno y the pics turned out like that but if you click on em they will pop up.

not a bad problem to have. I can't see the pics so I can't comment, but if it were my grow, I'd try to accommodate the growth, and if need to prune, I'd start from the bottom looking for nodes stretching for light (they're a nuisance later) and work up.

Whats the latest into flower you would recommend?

IM PUTN PICSW UP LATER THAT YOU CAN SEE

obviously don't want to be pruning too deep into flowering; hard choices to make, have to think about what 6 more weeks of flower would look like.

Usually, the first few weeks have a big push, as you've seen, then the vertical growth slows and they bulk up. You're in the zone now.
