I'll put my question here as well for better visibility; Plants are very bushy and I'm not sure if I should prune subbranches or let them grow that way. I'm a little worried they'll lack space when they'll start flowering. It might be suboptimal as well. Thanks for helping me !

Hi @Cockpitloulou the spectrum of your light seems to me to be the cause of slow growth. I have seen several negative reviews about vipaspectra leds, good for flowering only. Rise the light more for the plants stretch more. you should prune subbranches that are not keeping up with others branches. good luck mate 👍

1 out of 4 plants im growing right now is so short and bushy. I have to jack it up so the canopy is even with the other plants. When I switched to 12-12 it had a little stretch. Now it's perfect!

I think the problem is the blue spectrum lighting you have on them. Blue spectrum is known to give plants very stacked internodal spaces. If you have a dimmer, try turning the lights down, if you don't have a dimmer then try putting the lights some cm further from the plants, cuz 600w is a lot of light lol. Hope it works!

They are generally not kept , however I recently experimented short and bushy shapes and I removed the 1st node stems only and all the others are buds now , She was only topped. I will say it depends on the training
