They are too big and I have not so much space remaining, what should I do ?

68 cm already and only 25cm of height available (with the actual scrog), I just flipped to 12/12. Should I keep on scrogging or top all the heads ? I don't really know where to top as I removed some of the bigger leaves on one side. Thx !

Oh dear, you're going to be in a world of hurt if you don't do something here... If you haven't flipped the lights and they're still in veg, you can go ahead and top them... you can also do some decent HST - just take a branch and bend it so it's actually almost broken... You also need to do some defoliation from what I can see... think about lollipopping these babies... take off everything under your scrog net... and USE that scrog net is you do some HST to hold the top of the branch down... Good luck - what monsters!!

Top the highest node, defoliate all the leaves that are stacked on eachother and cut all the branches that do not reach the SCROG net.

should say, thin it out... if first week of flower, pruning vertical height is an option, but you can HST that stuff later, too. thinning out congested areas will help. prune off excess axillary growth, preferably lower on the plant when there is a choice (re apical dominance).

prune it back.. better than overgrown tent prone to mildew and whatever else.
