Hi Guys,
Probably a silly question...lol...My grow room has about 5 feet head space with my 10 L Air pots.I there a ROUGH guide on how high the plant should be Vegged,or roughly how many weeks before the switch to 12/12 so they finish a nice size[not touching the light? I dont mind topping and LST and i will but just looking for a rough Guide please. Northern Lights for instance,or that type of medium size stocky plant?
Because when you buy NL seeds for instance,they say is a Med size plant,but how do you know if it DOUBLES in size when turned to 12/12,or more???
Cheers Guys.

Probably pay to do a bit more research on your strain/breeder...riu is a good place to do that..
What type light are you using? Ventilation ect?
5ft clearance means there could be temp issues...
Maybe scrog might be more suited to a small space...i vegged my white widow for 3 weeks
But it is more indica dominant than nl...i wouldn't go more than 2 weeks...imo

1. Indica
2. Don't use an apostrophe unless you know how to do so.
3. Most will stretch double. Some a bit more. My NL stretched double exactly.

If you have a cooled reflector you can get the plants a lot closer to it.
 
I'm with Trousers and Rings, count on at least doubling in size. I use MH the first week or two of flower to keep stretch to a minimum. Sativas are known to stretch 2-3 times their size. Also if your plant is leaning toward sativa phenos(longer internodes/skinnier leaf etc., you can expect to see a little more stretch.
