keep them in veg until space becomes an issue.
or you could do a bunch of topping, make it a bush.

IMO-All depends on you, and your situation.
Do what works for you man.

Good Luck on Your Grow

What I do as a rule of thumb is to expect a plant to double in size during flower and veg accordingly. A 1 foot tall plant by all means could end up a 3 foot tall plant during flower. I have a 7 foot tall grow space, but I try to never let my plants get over 4 foot tall. In my case, unless I am familiar with the strain, is to veg till around 20-24 inches. This way they generally end up in the 40 inch range when finished. Hope this helped.

Thanks man, i have a couple of auto's seedlings under a 600w hps light, I was planing on leaving my 18/6 cycle go for the autos then put in normal strains around week 6, that would mean i would have two weeks of vegging for the norma lstrains do you think this would work? in your opinion?
Thanks all

my advice is if your like my you want to end veg at 6-7 weeks (should usually be close to 2 foot tall) pull clones, Switch to your flowering light (if available) and change to 12/12 with flowering nutes. also i like to start using my flowering nutes a week before i start my 12/12 light schedule.
