Tall as a mah fucker.

So i've had these 6 females under a 600 hps for almost a month and a half. Which is when i planned on them flowering but due to stupidity there were light leaks and they never budded, they just grew. Three are almost at the 6ft mark while the other 3 are only about 3 and a half feet. The tallest are topping out right under the light but no worries because they are getting transferred in a couple days to a bigger space. They just started budding 4 days ago, my question is, because they were accidentally vegging for that month and a half and grew super long and lanky, how much bud can you get from them? I've thrown some pics in so you guys can see what i'm working with. They are under a 600 hps like i said, and it's all aeroponics. they get fed once a week, fox farm big bud, and fox farm hydrofood.

I would chop them in half and use the tops for clones.
They have no room to stretch and flower...
If you cut 1/3 or more of the tops off, you would give them enough room to flower. Get out the scissors and chop away. You will be glad you did in about three weeks.
 
ya, I have another 600 hps and a 400 mh that I've been wanting to use. My plan is to use 1/3 of the space for vegging and the other 2/3 for all my flowering plants. there is enough room to have about 20 plants for the flowering and then 10 for veg that i may just use as moms.

Even so, I think you've maximized your vertical height and then some... Even looking at the pic, you can tell the bottom halves of the plants are shaded... You would have to clear the bottom 1/3 to keep the bottoms from being popcorny or wilting from no light... or chop 1/3 off the tops and clean up the bottoms for a bunch of rock hard nugs...

Your plan sounds great.. I just think the plants are too tall and too close together. It is hard to prune, but SO WORTH IT when you can chop a whole room down and your friends thank you for not having any small nugs to trim...
