if you can't wait anymore go ahead and start on the cycle... if it were mine i would wait a couple more weeks... the longer veg produces better quality bud/yield... are you planning on cloning?

it's not really the height just age... during flowering that plant is going to get alot bigger... have you considered topping?

Agreed, if you have the space, wait a little bit longer. What's the Kelvin Rating on your CFL's? (Soft white, daylight?)

I understand your apprehension… and I understand that indoor growing is a lot more tedious and fragile… this is my first indoor grow in years… I usually grow outdoors. I have trampled, fell on, and done all kinds of crazy cuttings, breakings… my point is… is that these plants are pretty darn hearty, and can handle what you do to them… the only time I ever killed a plant by cutting it was when I chopped off every single leaf, even the tiny little boogers just barely showing. I was thinking that the plant would produce a lot more leaves and branches… kinda like shaving.

but to b safe chop as close to the lower fan leaves

here I’ve been meaning to top a plant here’s some pics they are in order after I chopped the stalk you can see the nutes it ate this morning popping out the top.. The 2 last pic…. however is what a plant looks like when it is topped and all the big fan leaves are trimmed it is kinda bushy and there are two main shoots now
