Is it a stretchy strain? some ive grown triples in height..
Looks pretty packed in there, if its a mostly sativa strain i would flip it now..
 
Any idea of the strain? What light are you using? What type and size of growing medium/containers are you using? They look more Sativa-dominant than Indica so may stretch a bit but hard to say without more details. I flipped Kings Kush (Indica dominant) to 12/12 at only a few inches larger than yours and they grew to 3' after 9 weeks - on reflection I wish I'd vegged another week or two and got them to 4'+ (I got 2oz per plant from the KK at three weeks veg). If yours are Sativa-dominant with a long flowering period they could stretch right up to 6-7'+
Hope this helps :)

It depends on the strain how much stretch you will get. All strains are different.

Strain dependant. I've seen 75-350% increase in height and I'm sure there are strains that are faster and slower than that. Good Luck

I just wanted to add in addition to being strain dependant alot of strains or atleast some strains show alot of variance. The querkles I have going atm may have no stretch at all and 2 of them triple ... Id go ahead and flip now to be on safe side. If you havent taken cuttings (clones) you may want to. If you do you can choose wich one fits your cab best ect.. good luck

Im new at this cloning thing I dont even see any posible branch on those plants i should cut, for me they are too small
 
No man...you can take small cuts.

I like to keep my mom plants pretty small. So, my cuttings are small also. like 2.5" long. That workd very well for me. I'm sure you can find a few cuts on there.
 
The Hawaiian Snow is going to rocket upwards during 12/12 - a real stretcher and has a long flowering period (12 weeks give or take) whereas the others should be more moderate in size and finish earlier (8-9 weeks) - may have to juggle pots on boxes, etc alongside the Hawaiian Snow (unless you control her through topping) to keep an even canopy. The Lemon Skunk may smell pretty strong also especially in early 12/12. Good healthy looking girls you've got there :D

FLIP!! how much food are you giving them? It looks like your sativa dominant strains are getting overferted a bit. you may want to run less food to them and you should top them. if you get clones, great. if not, your at least controlling the canopy a bit. I would trip the bottoms off the indica/s. you need some cal-mg+ or epsom salts added to your res. I see the beginnings of a magnesium defic.

I would top them now then flip them. shouldn't get over 3 feet that way..

Un topped you could get like 4 foot!

That's kinda an estimate, I don't know the strain though!

i've seen sativas stretch as much as 4-5x's.
they can also stretch for up to 5 weeks.
it's gonna get way out of control in there, real quick

Yeah this mother plant I have she has stretched almost to 4 feet!! I made my new cab larger than the last but that still hit the max height limit!! So I have been just lassoing Down each emerging snake head when it gets to close to the light..

The Sativa plants are really flexible and bendy compared ot an Indica it seems. So you can really bend them around. Prolly could make it bend like a pig tail if you had the perfect spring to tie it too!!!
