You need to make sure your lamp height can be adjusted to at least twice the height of the plant when going into flower. This will prevent any issues later on in the grow when the flower stretch happens and helps to maximise yield. Although, be aware that some strains can stretch up to 3 times their height when put to flower.
It's difficult to tell what height are they now from a downward picture, what height are they now?

Thanks guys. They're about a foot tall give or take an inch or 2. That's not including the pots which are about a foot. I'm thinking double the plant after strecth that equals 3 feet. My tent height is 2 meters or 6ft 8 I think. I have heaps of room don't I lol and could most prob veg for a few more weeks smh. Sorry for being silly

I've been a late-vegging kind of grower for a long time but I've seen the light . . . fry too many colas! lol
I'd get those a good 18" from the soil line and flip. I have like 20 10L pots I'm going to be doing that with for now on. Top after the 3rd node then again a couple weeks later. Aiming for a FIM each time and I'm pretty good at it so should have up to 16 main colas. Small screen for cola support and get more of them done quicker with less hassle.
Nice plants!
They look wet. If you're spraying water on them you should stop that. If not it might just be my old eyes playing tricks on me.

Thank you very much for your advice. 18" is my target now and I'll get them as bushy as I can so I can get as much of a canopy as I can. The 2 out the back of the pic (Tim's kush and badazz OG cheese) have been pinned down to the same height as the others tonight.I've been a late-vegging kind of grower for a long time but I've seen the light . . . fry too many colas! lol

They were wet yes, a couple of them were showing what I think we're slight mag deficiancies so in all my wisdom I misted the lot with magnesium chelate. Anyhuuuu...thanks again

Doesn't hurt to spray some treatment or bugs sprays if you have to but some guys spray water on them regularly just to get them wet and it does more harm than good. I'm finishing off the last few thrips and one more pray after tomorrow ought to do it. PITA but no real damage done and all the ladies are in veg.
Those plants of yours look like they'll keep in bud until the next crop comes in for sure. Nice having a dozen strains to choose from depending on the mood.

Good luck dealing to thrips. And good there's not too much damage. I've been growing outdoors for years in the hills and it's the same but totally different indoors and I don't have to trudge through the bush lol. Indoors I'm as green as grass.Doesn't hurt to spray some treatment or bugs sprays if you have to but some guys spray water on them regularly just to get them wet and it does more harm than good.

This is from the 7th I think. Everything stretching except for my mutant bubba kush. I'm happy with progress although I did have a few slow days where I tried to take their heater out and they refused to move so I put it back in. F You stubborn spoilt bitches lol nah. Ive fed first dose of Terra Flores, PK and boost accelerator. I'll take a fresh pic tonight.

This was lastnight. I hit them with the canna Terra flores and boost accelerator. All are stretching (except for the dam bubba kush) and most are showing hairs. Next feed I'm gonna give them another shot of PK. Temp is between 18 and 24 degrees celsius. Humidity is a bit high at 75. I'll Chuck a dehumidifier in soon. Everything seems to be happy so I'm happy too
