well i think you said you only hav 2.5 feet of space its a strain you've never grown b4 would suck if they out grew there space like mopaba said and so hav i and a few others they can and most will triple in height your looking at 8 to possibly 12 weeks of flowering dont know the strain but so cant be more specific it doesnt always take the amount of time the breeder says usualy longer with cfl and flourescents lights and this is from experience you can add 2 more weeks to the flowering time ! not trying to make you throw caution in the wind just plan on them getting alot bigger unless its a normaly short strain

I am sure it was a wise decision to start flowering them . 1 of my girls grew an inch and a half in just 1 night .... Amazing but now I am a lil worried about then getting to tall for there space . Can I top them again at this point ?

Not a good idea. It's wont' regrow more nodes. If height is a problem slowly bend the branches over by tieing them down, a little more each day until they're horizontal and then if you have to start doing them in a horizontal spiral shape.
