i have 7 plants in grow tent ( 120cm X 120cm X 200cm ) with 600W dual spectrum hps.
i use bio bizz full line.

tallness of my plants is about 90 cm and they are 16. days of flowering .
i grow 5 skunk 1 and 2 WW. WWs are slightly taller.

is 90 cm tallness normal for 16.days of flowering period ?

first two or three weeks of flowering they grow a lot, expect them to grow about that much again by harvest time.
how tall were they when you started flowering? about 60cm?
its normal for them to double or even triple in size from when you start flowering.

would really need to see a pic to tell.
if the nodes are like 3" or less apart then its not stretched. anymore than that and theres a bit of stretching.
should be fine though with the 600w.

next time start flowering earlier or apply LST, topping and/or supercropping techniques to keep the plants shorter.

its likely that they wont keep growing at the same rate as the last 2 weeks, the first 2 weeks of flowering has a real growth burst to it.
you could bend the plant over a few inches from the tops and train the tops to grow more sideways, this will save you a foot or so by harvest time. i did this to the whiteskunk grow in my sig, have a look at it.
 
have your plants gotten any flowers and if so how big. I am at 21 days in flower and hardly see anything. They have about tripled in height but just started to show pre-flowers.

do this.......... or something similar. this one i am just basically gonna circle this main branch around the others. gonna see if i can get it to make the full circle. it is a topped plant. i broke one of the 2 main branches so this one is the dominant branch and growing out of control. good luck

can you super crop during flower?? i would be hesitant to do so, seems like it would make the plant focus more on healing than on bud production. please correct me if i am wrong
