well i think you said you only hav 2.5 feet of space its a strain you've never grown b4 would suck if they out grew there space like mopaba said and so hav i and a few others they can and most will triple in height your looking at 8 to possibly 12 weeks of flowering dont know the strain but so cant be more specific it doesnt always take the amount of time the breeder says usualy longer with cfl and flourescents lights and this is from experience you can add 2 more weeks to the flowering time ! not trying to make you throw caution in the wind just plan on them getting alot bigger unless its a normaly short strain
It's all good after reading everyones advice, I decided that it was time to do the 12/12 .. I started them out last night .. I will add pics just to let everyone know how they are doing !

I am sure it was a wise decision to start flowering them . 1 of my girls grew an inch and a half in just 1 night .... Amazing but now I am a lil worried about then getting to tall for there space . Can I top them again at this point ?

Not a good idea. It's wont' regrow more nodes. If height is a problem slowly bend the branches over by tieing them down, a little more each day until they're horizontal and then if you have to start doing them in a horizontal spiral shape.

Thats what I thought, but you read so many conflicting things :) ! I have read about the bending but would love to see a good video, is there any you know of off hand ? I took some new pics today so I will post. Were on day 3 of the flowering phase with my Ace of Spades clones :) !114.jpg116.jpg117.jpg118.jpg119.jpg121.jpg122.jpg124.jpg125.jpg126.jpg
