They look mass indica, i doubt they will have much stretch, they look very stout and tight in the middle section! you are going to have some fun with these bigtime! 1 week they are going to be MASSIVE!!!!! IF YOU HAVE TO LST SOME TOPS THEN DO SO!!! or just tie some string to the tops and tie them to the corners to hold them down, i sometimes do that early on to help keep the plant low while it builds up some branches...
they look very indica to me so surely they won't be stretch buds, hard part will be managing a good height for the tops, if you can hold some down now some lower branches will try to find their way up also! you may have to do a small trim in the middle section of those plants to let some air and light through, in my opinion that would help lower growth right about now, but not too much i'm just talkin a couple of leaves that are shading some lower growth. Even 2-3 leaves can make some big difference, any more and i it could stress them a little. Only leaves that get little light as well, if they are sucking energy they only slow growth. I always find a few on the inside main stem that need pullin off they just seem useless and energy could be put to better use elsewhere where there is more usable light.

Inspection today...OR IS IT!?!
Spent a good few hours moving shit, boxing stuff up, dismantling the tent and everything making sure everything is hidden. The plants are in a dark box in the shed hidden.
been cleaning all morning aswell cos my mrs pretty much has OCD. Then RING RING, its the realestate and the person is sick today so possibly cant do the inspection today maybe tomorrow, FARK MEEE! the last 3 inspections the bitch has re-scheduled!
Although on a lighter note,I have read that a 36 hour dark period between 18/6 and 12/12 can speed up the flowering process and I know of people that have done this with success so it could be a good thing?
Here is a copy n paste from a article about it...
How to Induce Flowering
Because of photoperiodism, you can easily induce flowering in cannabis plants simply by changing your grow room light cyclesreducing the light from 18 hours a day or more, to only 12 hours each day. Again, what is really important to the plants is changing from six hours of darkness or less to 12 hours of darkness. Within two weeks of switching the light cycles to 12 on and 12 off, you should see small buds starting to form.
I need to stress the point that your plants are very sensitive to any light during the dark period. If you have any light at all leaking into your grow room, during the 12 hours of dark even momentarilythe P[SUB]R[/SUB] can change back to P[SUB]FR[/SUB]. This means that any light reaching your plants during the dark period may sabotage the flowering process.. For this reason, you should nevernot even for a momententer your grow room when the lights are turned off in the 12/12 cycle.
Before you make the switch to a 12/12 light cycle, you need to make sure your grow room has no light leaks. Enter the grow room while the lights are out and close the door behind you. Wait about 15 minute minutes for your eyes to adjust fully, then look around and make sure no light is entering the room. No light under the door, through a curtain, or shining from a CO[SUB]2[/SUB] generator or dehumidifier. I have made this last mistake myself. If any of your equipment produces light from the display, cover it with duct tape, making sure no photocells have been accidentally covered. If you can see your hand in front of your face, you have a light leak that needs to be fixed.
While simply changing to a 12/12 light cycle will induce flowering, there is a trick to jump start the process. Between the switch from an 18/6 to a 12/12 light cycle, let your plants sit in total, uninterrupted darkness for 36 hours. This will cause the P[SUB]FR[/SUB] to drop substantially, giving the plants a strong signal to flower. After the 36 hours of darkness, begin the 12/12 light cycle. In a side by side experiment, I saw significant results from this method. Be sure to flush out high nitrogen grow fertilizers from your growing medium and change to a high-phosphorus bloom formula. Also, adding high potassium supplements for the first two weeks can help increase rapid bud development

Wassssuuuuuuuuuup!?! been a while
ive added the first scrog net in and bent and twisted the girls around a bit, look a bit ugly atm but im sure they will be princesses before I know it
Also bought some florakleen flo
for flushing between res changes and final flush. Everything going awesome!
Oh! The inspection was a piece of cake, SMOOTH
EDIT: This is day 6 of flower. I also took 4 clones off the bitches today

wow!!! awesome work gorbzzz 
i'm not one to take clones during flowering, but i'm pretty confident you should be fine, they'll just take longer to root i guess....it may stunt the plants a little but see how you go, they seem to be responding really well, very lush looking growth, thick as stems....furry branches and most definitely females great work, i hope to have the same luck with my inspection coming soon..... my girls getting big and i got no where to put her hehe she'll be right!!!! i'll pull some magic

Thanks flowow!!! awesome work gorbzzz
yeah im not fussed if they stunt or take longer to root, ive got another 8 weeks anyways haha! Ive seen clones grow with buds hanging off em, just chopped the bud off and then wait, i wouldnt take it that far but ive seen it done! Real ugly too, they start producing smooth edged leaves that doesnt even look like weed! Anyways im just excited for these things to get there bud on! Ill be using canna's pk13-14 along with the a&b bloom. Have you heard of any other good bud boosters??

good to hear, as for bud boosters, i try to tell people less is always bestThanks flo

honestly, i think all the boosters are a bit of bugusness! i could cop a little flak from that but i get huuuuge yield without outside/inside if you give the plants what they need and keep them healthy they will grow to their fullest potential given hardcore lighting and feeding, which is exactly what you're doing. From what i've seen, and this could also been their lack of care, but using boosters of some sorts have created seeds, foxtails, bad tasting bud, and sometimes unsmokable if you are one to care for erb. Some people say my pgr's are a booster, this is entirely wrong, and a false statement from them. It is in fact simply enough a plant growth 'regulator' (to change the plants physical structure and produce maximum amounts of flowering hormones by forcing the energy to the flowering tips and not the growth of the plant.) I would look into Cyco's if you are keen for similar results if looking for something that's been thoroughly tested. The reason it can increase yield is because it controls vertical growth & height. Perfect for the low penetration of HID HPS lamps which are only giving 'hardcore' light within 6-18 inches....perfect for scrog/sog with decent size plants.If i was you personally....try something next time perhaps dial this perlite in, which you are A+ in anyway . Those plants look really really healthy, let them bloom
patience.
