Help With Flower

So I’m well into my first grow with 4 photo plants in a 4x4x7 tent. I have 1 pure kush and 2 purple urkles. I have started flipping them into flower by turning the timer down 1 hour per day until they hit 12/12. The problem is I went into this knowing the kush would double during stretch but I had no idea about the 2 purple urkles.

Upon further research I think I may have messed up, because the urkles will only stretch about 25% which is nothing. I started the flip about 2 days about and they are at about 16/8 right now. The tallest purple urkle I have is about 19 inches tall the other one is at about 15 inches while my kush is only at like 13 inches.

I’m starting to think I pulled the trigger a little too early on the transition to flower. My question is can I just flip them back to 18/6 now since it has only been a couple days? Or am I stuck with how they are now and just have to ride it out?

yeah shouldn't cause an issue so long as they aren't auto strains

Alright thanks. Wasn’t sure if messing with their light schedule at all would hurt them.

What kind of lighting are you using? Can you post a pic of the plants? If you just go back to your regular schedule for veg you won't have an issue but depending on a few things you might have issues with running out of space if you let them get much bigger.

Yeah I’ll get some pics of them here in a minute

under 16 hours of light, they should still be in veg mode, so by going back to w/e schedule you were using for veg, it won't cause any undo stress on them imvho..
secondly, you don't have to drop hours a day or how ever you did it to get to flower, you can just go straight from 18/6 to 12 / 12 in one day..

They're all under a 600W MH right now.

The tall purple urkle 19 inches tall




Short purple urkle 16 inches tall




Pure kush 14 inches tall




All 3 plants in the tent

You definitely have enough light. It looks like they could definitely get a little bigger before flowering without outgrowing the space but not too much more.

Yea I second what Joe said. No experience with purple urkle but I've been burned before. Lol you can always drop a light but try getting a baby cola out of a reflector without shedding a single tear...
