Plants look great, and your dog is cool as well.

You should be ok an height - looks Indica dominant, so should stay shorter.

They do look good. What kind of lighttage are you growing with? Supposedly metal halides induce more compact growth over HPS, (due to more light in the blue spectrum). That plant could finish at 3 - 3.5 feet, it should stop growing after about a month.

I don't think you're 'in trouble'... you might consider getting some fluorescent (HO or CFL) side-lighting for the lower branches, which will increase the size of the buds there for sure. I would also raise that shorter plant up so that the tops of both are about flush with each other.

And do you bathe in there, with the plants? I would.:weed:

I just started my flowering with a 400 watt HPS light in veg I was only using Fluorescent tube lighting. I guess 3 and a half feet is not that bad I can deal with that and have the room for that. I had the shorter LST plant higher but the leaves were starting to curl I thought it was from the heat so I lowered it back down the other one is not showing any signs of problems so I wasn't sure if it was the heat or some thing else? I'm thinking I will take a couple flush baths with them when it's time to flush them.

Well given the vegging was on Flouro, it's not surprising for the plants to be a little taller than you expect. If you can keep they on with the 400w HPS you'll probably be able to limit the stretching a little bit. Otherwise, first guess is that it'll double in size. If you're worried about plant size you can top it, or bend it over.

Yea I want to veg with a MH but the wife thinks the house will burn down or some thing it's hard enough to have her let me use the HPS she sees the bright light and thinks it's all bad to leave the house with it on for only 12 hours so trying to get her to let me leave one on for 18 hours would not go over too well
