Transitioning from veg to flower

How do you do it? I always just change my timer right from 18-6 to 12-12 and change my mh to an hps bulb. But I have a little more stretching that I would like. How can i prevent that? Should I keep the mh light in for a week or two?

They are going to stretch more when they go into flower there is really no way to prevent that. Running not enough light or the light too far from the plants is the main cause of stretch.

They will always stretch, but keeping the mh in longer will help a little. I just change to hps straight away

Tie them down and sit back for the ride.

probably should've mentioned that I am running a scrog.

Well then, scrog away and sit back for the ride lol. You can always do some hard core cropping too to help control the stretch some more.
