So this is my first grow ever and I had a couple questions and wanted to get the opinion of people that know what their doing. These pictures are from today it's day 13 of veg on a clone of woody og that was already well rooted. Can anyone tell me how they look and if I should maybe top, lst, trim or just leave them alone based on what you see. Im using a 400w mh 24/7 for the with happy frog soil , cns 17 nuts, and adding liquid karma and cal-mag. I'm also working in a 3x2x6 so please any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks bm

unless you have a switchable ballast I would suggest getting a HPS/MH conversion bulb for flowering. MH kinda sucks for flowering. Other than that they look good so far man. Top them soon or once they start to flower they'll grow to close to the light and get burnt. With your space you'll want shorter bushy plants.

They look. Good man! Like the mylar. Everywhere, it will pay off. As for me, I don't believe in topping, but they look ripe. For LST, when u top u just take the main cola off, with. Lst, u just redirect the. Growth, up to u though, growing is always just a matter of ur preferences, but I like LST, u could end up with 10-15 colas if u do it. Right, shit, probably more. Than that, good luck with what ever u do
I do have a switchable ballast and my closet height is about 6ft

next-time i would run your 400 during veg for 18/6. it saves power and allows your lamp and plants to take a break. also i would highly suggest look into using the LST method that VAPEDUP mentioned, It will greatly increase your yield.
Lol awsome myler set up right!!!! So how lomg do you tie them down for and or do you tie it the other after a couple days? Thanks bm

U can tie. It down as long as u want/need too. But I would go all the. Wayor to week 6 in flower, since plants stop stretching around. Then and start to swell, then u will need to tie UP not down! Lol. Tie down the top as much as U can, then when the part u tied starts to grow up again, tie it down some more. And like kushman said, u don't really need the. 24/7 light, I think the. Plant does most of its. Growing in the dark, just my opinion
Keep doing whatever you're doing Guy, cuz whatever you're doing is looking good. You have plenty of time before you have to do anything so do some research and make up your own mind. You'll be fine, just don't make snap decisions you might regret later. Like I said you have plenty of time at 6'
Thanks man I really appreciate that!!! I'm kinda just jumping in this thing head first ya know!!! Lol

If I were doing this I would top them, put them immed into 12/12 and clone the tops. Rinse and repete.
Wait so you think I should start flowering now, and if so why?

Here are some pics a G13 i have that i LST'd she is 10 days in to flower, BEST thing u can do for a plant in limited room, this plant might finish at under 18inches, maybe less hope this helps. i just dont like to cut my plants, but if u do take a clone off her, take it from the bottom, as this is where most of the rooting hormone is built up, there is more growth hormone in the top of the plant, that tall one there is a Jack Herer, its a little stretched because there off in the corner in the flower room, and she like to grow in the flower stage

wow nice plants man!!! The thing is I have 6 feet of height, so I maybe even just let them grow straight up. The reason I wanted to lst them is because I've read that it yeilds more that way

Thought I made that pretty clear.
Based on your space you are going to struggle if you let them get much taller.
It's just what I would do, I'm sure there are plenty of others who would do it differently.
