Attach some string to the top branches to bend them some too. if you just start bowing all the branches out you will get a super bushy plant.

your leaves seem to be yellowing, what are you feeding them?
seems like it may be cal/mag deficiency, if it is then some epson salt can fix that up
 
Is ur plant already in flowering?how tall was it when u started flowering?looks small but all in all looks like u are on right track,what's ur set-up consist of?
 
khm916: will do thanks

It looks like you're burning them to me. How much PPM are you giving them, and what is the PPM that comes out after a feed? And if you have a tent and 600w light, you could have grown it much bigger.

You said you "think" it recently swapped to flowering? Swapping to 12 hours on and 12 hours off on your light is what triggers the flowering stage.
 
livehigh: cheers and what u mean by ppm as im new to this ..i feed them 15mil a+b to 10lt of water and the timer on watering is every 5 hr for 10min ...and the bigger part my mate sed the same thing ...hmm i have a look at my timer


just had a look its on 18/6 can it b from my garage light entering vent holes when i turn them on ?

PPM means parts per million. You need a PPM meter to check how strong of a feed you're giving your plants because it's going to thin out, depending on how much water is in the container you're feeding them out of.

If you're really new and also don't have a pH meter, you need one of those. The truncheon meters are excellent, but they run around $100.

So get the meters, get pour what you plan to feed the plants into a bucket or whatever you're using, check the PPM, check the pH. If you're in soil - which it looks like you are, pH to 6.5. If you were in hydroponics, pH to about 5.6.

Proper PPM levels are going to vary depending on the stage your plant is at and the strain and other factors, so it can be tricky at first. But once you feed your plants and know that you're giving them, say 900 PPM of bloom, and then the water that runs out of the bottom of your pot after a feed is PPM'd at 1000, you know you're overfeeding your plants. If the PPM is 800 after running through the pot, you're underfeeding the plants, etc. Not to mention the visual effects you'll see.

Next time you grow, keep the light on 18/6, 18 on and 6 off and use veg nutrients until they get about 1/3 of the size you want them to be, and then swap the lighting to 12/12 and use bloom nutrients.

If they have plenty of width to grow too, top them by snipping at a 45degree angle the top node of the plant.
