Ive topped all my plants to go for bushy plants with four main tops per plant.. I will be switching the light cycle into flowering in a week and a half.. i recently tied them down so each branch is equally spread out and receive optimum light. i need to know if there is such thing as too much bending.. if someone has done this before what are the advantages???

The advantages are multiple main colas which usually mean a bigger yield If you break it you've bent it to far, which I have done lol..

that helps for sure how old were those plants in those pics? im doing 24h light is it best to switch straight to 12/12 or do like 18/6 the week before when im transitioning the nutrients?

I "think" they were around 50 days or so from clones, my wife is watching a movie on that computer right now so I can't get to my records. I prefer 24/0 while rooting, 18/6 during veg then 12/12 for flower, your mileage may vary but experimenting with the photoperiod (18/12, etc.) didn't change my results much. Keep in mind they will really stretch the first week or so of 12/12. Glad you liked the pics, good luck!
