How tall?

You're lacking some important info here -- what stage are they in, how long have they been in that stage, what type of setup are you running, etc. It's a lot easier to make predictions when all the information is present.

well, how old are they? I have 3 plants that are about 5 days from harvest, and they're roughly 5 ft tall. They've been flowering for 72 days. When I started flowering after 7 weeks of veg, I think they were about 30 inches tall. It has a lot to do with the strain, the grower, the set up, how you feed them, etc.

you should definately check it out a step by step growroom set up/grow video and he grows white widow in the video.

Plants generally grow between 2 and 3 times as large in flower as they are in vegetative state. Being that those are both indica varieties, they *shouldn't* stretch much. Assuming this is the case, you can tentatively plan on between 4 and 5 feet tall. I would personally estimate more on the lower end, the strains being what they are. If I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.
EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention is that height doesn't necessarily equal yield. So really it begs the question, are you asking how tall they might be? Or how much they will hypothetically yield. If it's the latter, there are far more factors involved, the least of which is the genetics and phenotypes of each individual plant. Were these grown from seeds, or from clones?

My question was more of a height than yeild issue. These were grown from clone.

Then yeah, I would estimate 4-4.5 feet tall at harvest. If you train them a little, you can keep the height shorter.

Actually to take care of it before it becomes a problem I put a few push pins and strings to hold down the tallest points. Hopefully this makes the shorter points catch up then ill untie till late flower when buds are pulling branches down.
