Super Silve Haze Flowering Stretch

What kind of stretch can I expect with a strain like this? I've been trying to keep my ladies on the smaller size -- hoping that I can fill the rest of the room with other strains. Today marks 21 days of 12/12 for this lady, and she's currently about 18 inches, and sitting roughly about the same distance from the light (boosted up by a crate).

Also, do you guys think I should trim/clean up the bottom of this lady a bit? Once the buds start filling in the lower center will be a compressed dense forest, not sure if that would cause problems such as mold or something in the future.

Probably not much more at 21 days in.
I personally would take the crap off down below. No point having anything that doesn't develop due to lack of light penetrating.

I was debating taking off some of the bush down below, but the same day I decided to flower this girl I ended up chopping off quite a bit from the top and even on the bottom a bit. It took pretty much 14 days to show sex, and I cannot tell if that's because it may be more sativa leaning or due to the chop it received. I was just worried that since it took a little longer to show sex that it might continue stretching faster than I would like. I just moved her under the 315w this morning, which gives a lot more vertical space than she had previously from her burple light.. just afraid she will get out of control with her new space.

I agree with the above post. Generally they do their stretching the first half of flower. And I would most deffinitely clean up that bottom a bit. You won't produce much bud down there and it's taking up part of the plants energy. Besides if you did leave it, then yes you would be running much more of a risk of mold, hard to get much air flow through when it's as dense and it is down there

Super silver haze. Been a while since I smoked that, reminds me of Amsterdam and Wesley Snipes!
Mmm old school flavours.

Clean her up John. What you lose below you gain up top.
