exactly what i was going to suggest, tie the tops down to the rim of the pot and flip 12/12 you will get some stretch but should be alright as they seem more indica dom..


best of luck they look good so far. beginers luck says you will get all 3 females...happened to me and i know another guy it happened to. usually when you plant excess for your frist grow to counter for males you end up with all fems (there is no scientific proof of this as i said its beginers luck) only time beginers luck dosent happen is when you only grow 1 HAHAHA then you always get a dam male....

The 2700s are in the orange spectrum and are used for bloom the 6500are in the blue spectrum and are used for veg a mixture of both is great

Flip now and then LST, not the other way around in your situation. Normally it's LST in veg, but here's the "surprise" about that -- let's say you LST 8" off the vertical height, which now is 12". That doesn't mean you have a 12" plant that will double in size during flower to 24".

You still have a 20" plant that will double to 40" minus the 8" saved by LST. So you plant will end up at 32".

I just learned this the hard way -- LST like crazy, flipped at what I thought was 18", when it was really more like 25" -- the my plants are sativa dom and have almost tripled in height. I had to get a bigger tent, rush from Amazon.

If your running out of room you better switch now as the plants will continue their stretch for the first 2 weeks of flower anyways. LST may not be a bad idea to control some of the growth if your limited on height. Topping and Fimming will result in more growth(bushier) and you will have to wait even longer before flipping to 12/12
Well, considering I have some of the bushiest plants around on RIU with a lack of competition... I'll be the first to say.. I don't top of Fim my plants.

Yes, you'll have to wait longer.... you just chopped and femmed your shit.... so it takes time to heal.

some people prefer to put some 6500 in with the flower, what i hear the consensus is at least 2/3 the desired spectrum, 1/3 opposite spectrum.

Also helps avoid putting the plant into shock.
