I would take off the lower 1/3 and a few branches that are just too much, than wait about 5-7days and start with 12/12. Like this the plant will grow much better, you can also try to give direction to the branches by pining them down with a threat or smth. The more space branches have the bigger they get and that actually matters a damn lot. Right now your plant has enough leaves to push crazy, but is too centered, try to spread the branches a bit to get all the leaves potential. Regardless i would cut the lower 1/3 half of leaves and branches. leaves you dont really have to cut, but helps to controll your plants via eyes, is better for RH and if you have a fan for your roots/pots (adviseable to do), it betters the airflow. I like to go for 14hours darkness/10hours light just a few days to speed up the flip into flowering, but thats my broscience, i wouldnt trust in that part.

More than likely the sativa will outstretch the indica during flower. If your plants are about 1/3 the height of your tent I’d flip it now or you’ll end up too close to your light source. Once you get to close to your lights you’re looking at possible mold, burn, and foxtailing issues. These are things you need to avoid. I would not cut off any leaves until after the stretch, and then be very careful in doing so. This is what will give you big bud.

Yes mate. Switch immediately. These plants will double in size once in full flower.

Strip and flip. I try to deflo to the last 3-5 pairs, this slows the stretch down. Allows for better air flow and keeps the nodes tighter. Try what you want it's hard to mess up. Learning is fun.

Plants tend to stretch 1.5x to 2x and even 3x for sativa dominant strains, so I would say it depends on what you are looking for personally I would flip. Happy growing!

I'd veg them for a couple more wks but that's me,I like big plants.Another 2wks should give you at least another oz per plant. I'd remove a few leaves,no more than 5 off each. You'll see how some of those fan leaves are covering side braches that will grow a lot more if they're given more light.You can see they're very wide plants that will have strong packed side braches so remove the odd leaf that shade them.They'll more than likely double in height if you switch them now but another 2wks and the tent will be full.I guess 2wks for another 4-6 oz.
