Im using a kind Led l300 and have been fiming and toping since about a week after I got them as clones they're about 5 week old and have them on 24 hours light and on a water-light feed of root boost-feed of flora nova grow with light feed of root boost plus I just trimmed all leaves not getting much light and/or blocking lower growth.... all that said I'd like some honest feedback on all my hard work:)20160202_211829.jpg 20160202_211930.jpg 20160202_211948.jpg 20160202_211957.jpg 20160202_212036.jpg 20160202_212041.jpg 20160202_211829.jpg 20160202_211930.jpg 20160202_211948.jpg 20160202_211957.jpg 20160202_212036.jpg 20160202_212041.jpg

They look good. If you do that deleafing thing to them again its going to destroy the harvest weight. What you did is fine but now your going to have to veg them a whole lot longer to grow all new bud sites, id say a month more before you flip the lights. Dunno if you know this but you lollypoped them, thats terrible for yeild. I sorta do the same thing but i do it at week two of flower so i can get clones from the stuff you chopped off, and i sont do it as extream. Overall looking really nice though and theyll look better in a month when they grow back.

Trimming back is perfectly fine. Watch them explode over the next week.

Change your light cycle to 18/6, 24/7 is just nuts. Plants like a sleep just like you.

After you flip 12/12, don't trim anything for three weeks. If you do you will slow down the stretch, unless that's what you need/want to do.

Plants look great otherwise. Welcome to riu and enjoy!!

How much head room you got. Keep in mind they will stretch quite a bit when switching to 12/12.

Looking good so far...I've always used 24/0...Marijuana being a C3 plant has no need for a dark period or in human terms "rest" period, while in it's in VEGATIVE state. I strongly suggest not waiting until they're four feet tall to flower you don't have enough light penetration for that, only time I suggest growing plants that tall indoors is if you have a vertical light setup.

Thanks again for all the advice everyone, I've read alot about the led light I bought a Full Spectrum KIND LED and it seems to be the best on the market and what I have puts out 600w of light power and I'm only running 4 plants, would that make a difference for what I'm trying to achieve or should I just flower them in a few weeks?

Would what make a difference?

Would the high power led make a difference with the light penetration because I've read that this particular LED has almost double the intensity of an hps since it's using all the energy on light rather than being wasted on making heat and it's won "Best LED Light of the year" for 2014 and 2015 plus I haven't seen a single negative review on it.
