Those plants have been growing under insufficient light for some time. I would top them where i drew the red lines. It might seem kind of crazy but it needs to be done. They will recover and be better than ever.

Think I will do. Will post pic later. Thanks for the tip
Yeah its going to seem crazy cutting them like that but they need to be forced to branch out they are waaaaay to tall. For that grow space you want each plant to have about 6-8 good size branches. They will recover pretty rapidly and be much nicer bushier plants.

I thought they were kinda tall. I bought them from a random person off cl. I just wanted to find anything so I can get some experience in before my seeds go in. Have some seeds planted in the chamber below.

After topping them they will need another 2-3 weeks of veg and then 8-12 weeks of flower depending on strain..... Or you could flip to flower now but will still need 8-12 weeks of flower which means whatever seeds you have started will be 8 feet tall.

I was thinking just keeping them on 18 hr of light for a week then flower em and see what happens. The seeds are what matter. I just wanted something in there already and see what it does. I cant let them get much taller. They probably wont have the room during flowering

I was thinking also maybe I can just grow them as tall as i can get them and clone em before i switch over to flower and find them a new home or make a taller cabinet. 3 of them are Sunday driver and the forth just says WC. Not sure which variation of wc it could be

I think you're going to run into issues with your light placement. I see it's offset to accommodate the filter but the plant located off to the side will end up suffering. Can you centralize it at all?

got a better light since then and pulled out the lower shelf, giving me an extra foot of space. I got a kingled 1500watt. 20200517_205329_HDR.jpg20200515_210425.jpg i dont think the light is too much for the cabinet considering I will have 4 plants in there. The sex of the little plants are unknown but im gonna sex one of em or all for seeds. This is my first grow. No more seeds after this. I don't want to buy more seeds because I want more experience. I plan to keep a mother plant and attempt cloning and keeping her alive and when my tent comes in im gonna attempting sexing and harvesting for seed. Look what I did :wall::wall::wall:20200517_204152.jpgthey looked like this at first 20200508_063817.jpg

Looking good. Might want to be careful with the water drops on the leaves though, you can get damage from the lights were the drops are.
