What kind of lights do you have? From the looks of the pics I would say you need more light for flowering. Those plants look stretched.

Bro...You are growing SATIVA. Great buzz & all, but those little bitches will do you in! Do yourself a favor & DO NOT let them get very much taller. They are a pain in the ass to grow and very finicky. Trust me...mine is 38" tall & 3rd week of flowering. If you have all the time in the world, then continue on....but....Wait til you have female pistils showing on most noids, then start your 12/12 lights. Use a great fertilizer & let it rip! The very best of luck Bro.!!

i already started the 12/12 a week ago because i was worried about the height i started them on 15-30-15 fertz and topped once of the plants so it stayed shorter than the rest only at 16inches now so it will be smaller one of the plants has showed its pistils the tallest one (the one in pics 3-5) so thanks for the advice

Just know man when you get into flowering they are going to easily double in size and they do it quick! So be prepared to do some bending and moving...hehehe.;)

Oh now don't wig out and start topping lol! A little time, patience, and bending will do the trick fine.You are nowhere near being cramped for space right now so just wait and enjoy watching them grow.:peace:
