Depending how long you veg them, they can double or even triple in size. Thats were LST and topping come into play if your restricted on space.

How long have they been sprouted? I would move the time back in small increments. Like this. 13/6, 14/5, 15/4 and so on. I believe it will alleviate some of the stress of switching them.
Just my opinion though.

Hello
I was hoping you could help me too, because there is very limited info online about this subject.
I am looking to start a sog grow with a GH's Eurogrower drip system. --> http://www.genhydro.com/genhydro_US/eurogrower.html
I have only grown bio and dwc in the past.
So my question is: is it possible to have plants in different life stages(bloom only)in the same drip table?
Or will younger plants drown from over feeding?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I am a soil guy and no nothing on hydro, but maybe someone else can chime in?
would you suggest to move them back every couple of days or one day 13/6 the next day 14/5 etc?

that depends on how you grow, if you use the same solution mixture (same amount of nutes) throughout the entire flowering phase it should be okay, but usually most people have a bit more N at the beggining of flowering, and slowly tapper off to having much more P-K the last few weeks. witch is needed in most cases, but if you go this way, the plants off shedule will have defficiencies and problems the entire grow...

Stopping leaf tip burn?
Plants are otherwise fine....end product is just fine too...
I just kinda get anal about the little leaf burn I see...
No matter how hard I try to keep nute levels right mixed in with regular flushing I still get a little tip burn.
My local grow friends say it's normal due to accelerated growth through chems ( even organic nutes) And that it is more noticeable in hydro ( I grow in dirt) They even recommend increasing nutes...saying to hell with leaves..it's the buds you want and with the final flushing should make no difference in final product.
Like I said..I'm kinda anal ( just ask my ex-wife ) I want my plant to be perfect from top to bottom.
I don't have major leaf tip nute burn...about the size of a pencil point..couple millimeters...still bugs me though.

what color are the burns? orange/rusty, or black/brownish??
and what your friends said about "to hell with your leaves, its the buds you want" thats all media hype/myth BS... leaves are batteries, and create the buds. if your worried about the buds, you must first worry about the leaves =]

The burns are at the very tip and they are very light brown ..they start off as a pale green....noticeable from the healthier darker green and slowly turn yellow then brown.
You can't see them from 5 feet away ..only up close. And I mean really close...
Very small ...and just the tips. I mean the very tips...like 1/3 the size of a Tic-tac ( or whatever they are called)....and they never get any worse or bigger. No other burning...just the tips.
I grow in FoxFarm..I use Botinacare ProBloom during flowering...( I'll be getting something else next grow )
Flush every 2 weeks...
However somebody did answer my post about this and recommended adding FoxFarm Light to my next batch of soil....so I think that may be the answer.
And I have no intention of adding more nutes....my plant is happy the way it is.
Plants are 6 weeks into flowering and the buds are crystal city and sticky as all get out...and don't get me started on the smell...good thing I'm legal.
This is my 3rd grow...pics from last one...if you look closely at the first pic you can just make out the tip burn..that's as bad as it gets. 2nd picture is harvest.

You are right, but I would imagine the leaves to be more like solar panels, absorbing energy through light, which most conventional batteries wouldn't be able to do alone!
