Hello. I Was gifted a clone in a solo cup about 3 months ago. I read the plant can double in size during flower so I’ve decided now might be a good time to flip to 12/12.

should I trim the bushy babe now? If so, where and how much?
Thanks
To much N but that will work for you in reducing height. Also if it was a clone it won't stretch as much.

Flip now and then super crop if it gets too tall for your space.

Why use such a small tent if you can't grow it vertically much or can only fit one decent size plant or two smaller ones. Just seems like a waste of space and a real bitch if it gets to close to the light. But to each their own. Here is one of my plants under 2 lights that are at an angle to get perfect coverage there is also another plant in there and it has 2 lights on it also but not over top on the sides because it's like 6 and a half to 7 feet rn and I got about 8 a and a half to 9 ft tall ceiling. These are only 2 plants one on left is super skunk just started week 4 and the other is do-si-dos in week two there are these two plants in a 9ft×9ft room taking up 6ft×5ft20200910_144338.jpg20200910_144427.jpg20200910_144357.jpg

It all depends on the strain and how tall your space is. For instance, with OG, it will stretch a good 6” or so after flipping. Zkittlez, on the other hand, will barely stretch at all. And as a general rule, have your lights about elbow to fingertip distance above your tops. Having lights too high will cause them to stretch extra. I always wait till 2 weeks into flower before bottom pruning. But if you want, go in and get all that little scruff along the main stem. I always razor when pruning, but with that kind of stuff, a simple finger prune will do
