Need more info. Im assuming growing indoors? Im doing a 24 hour dark period, then set your lights for 12 on/12 off for the rest of flower.

If I were you I would tie those plants a bit. You're not going to get light to anything other than the top.

I'm sorry I'm new to this what do you mean by tie and I use a powerful led light if that helps?

What wattage are the lights? Seems like you have a lot of reading to do.
Read up on LST and Topping. Although NEVER top or trim while in bloom. I would definitely look up LST and get that plant tied down ASAP.
Youtube and google are your friend.

240 watt yes I do I've been doing good though I feel like. Healthy leaves strong root system used different ff nutes and my signature lemon water

Just keep doing what you're doing and youll be fine. Try to LST a bit and let us know how it goes
If they in dark now, turn your lights on when you want your light period to be. I personally do 9am-9pm to reduce the chance of light getting into my room, but if you're living in a hot area you may want to consider flowering at night if you have temp problems.
Best of luck to you

Thank you for the advice I didn't know it gets double the size by the time I cut down wow ghats cool!LST for sure, and don't forget she will be twice the size, maybe more, once she's finished flowering, so you may want to think about 12/12 very soon

Most plants will stretch within the first couple weeks of flower. Keep your lights as close as possible to reduce stretch.

Ghats very cool indeed!
As jkwrestling13 says, keep your light close, and keep feeding the same as if in veg for the first two weeks...

I have some Bluedream cuts right now that grew 4" and bushed out in almost 2 weeks! Flower pre-stretch can be a bitch with sativa's if you dont plan ahead. And if i remember correctly, tangerine dream is also a heavy pre-stretcher. Those tops in my pic are tucked under the screen everyday untill stretch slows down.

Heres my setup: https://www.rollitup.org/t/grow-update-d.871903/
My plants are huge so im going to have to add a trellis to try and keep them as low as possible. Can you give me any advice on containing them?

They are still tied down correct?, looks like you have a good amount of gap in between the tops and the lights to get by without a crazy method. I would flip to flower and drop the lights during flower stretch. If you supercrop, which is another option, would only make you end up vegging longer, which will make the early stretch in flower stretch even more (older more mature) regardless of the higher side cola's. Thats about all i can give. Im still a noob myself

Thanks, this is my second time growing these blue dream cuts, but this time in a shorter cab and damn it was a bitch to keep them short. I swear i topped like 5 times each , i lst'ed every main stem and threw a screen over and shit, they still want to stretch and its already 20" under the 1k HPS. I have no more vertical room to raise the light lol. Hopefully no light bleach by the end of flower. *fingers crossed. To the OP sorry lol. I talk too much^^^^ Ooo! Nice set up! ^^^^
