How big...

Would you advise to grow in height before the the switch? Just want a rough estimate, ive got a 6ft room and just not sure how much they grow in height after the switch! Thanks in advance! Hope ur all good!

hi i recently flowered my ww x bb at a hieght of 18inch and the grew to 36 - 40 inches after the 12/12 stretch i think this maybe strain dependant but thats wot happened with mine

Depends if it is an Indica dominant or Sativa dominant. Most Indica's don't go past 2x stretch, while Sativa's can triple in size after the switch. You can train your branches to grow horizontally though if they do decide to stretch too much. What light are you using? If you have low light, you should focus on keeping your plants shorter and bushier rather than tall and Christmas tree shaped.

Thanks for the replys! The strain is G13 and the lighting is two 400W HPS. Thanks!

Don't flower anything over 3 ft and you should be fine...that depends on how much you train the plants as well...but some strains can get 3x the size they started flowering...So maybe nothing over 2 ft...I have very little upwards room because i use a 5 ft tent but I have my lights and filter sitting right there...anyway, if you train the plant early in veg you can get more bud, but less height...it is easy, but you pretty much need to train indoor plants, if not you are hurting the yield you could have had, ya know?

Right now I have 2 plants in my flowering room that double stretched on me and it's a bitch cause they grew taller then the light. Plus there hogging the room from my other girls
cause I had to bend them a little.

Thanks for all ur help!

I like to keep the mh bulb in for the first few weeks of 12/12 to help reduce the stretch a little. Just until I see the tiny buds forming
