bubba, they were topped all thru veg and it was my goal to get them up to 5'...mites showed up and all plans were changed...I sprayed all veg plants including the 2 GC's I have in flower now and when I flipped tthem they took off once again...they have stabilized at 6' now, any sprouts will be folded over...I've dedicated one tent with the LED for just theses 2 plants...I've got 2 corners that are devoid of green...hmm, wonder if I have a few skinny girls that need a home...bro, just do it, you'll thank me when you do...that extra foot gives you freedom with your grows...
