Damn Chunky those OBS have been giving you grief for a while.I envy your perseverance with them.
OBS are good looking plants and very vigorous but my grow environment is far from ideal.
I need strains that can take some abuse without sprouting boy parts.
Now I'm sitting on a pile of GPS beans and have no idea which ones won't herm in my environment.
And no, I don't plan on overwatering again but there's always something that's not perfect. :roll:

I didn’t think there would be a stretch when starting with 12-12? I would like to try it out on a flood table. Going to do a green point- Heisenbeans shootout when Heisenbeans sends out some testers. But I want to get my ducks in a row before the duel.
The amount of stretch is strain dependent, even without a veg cycle.
I've got to examples of the stretch from a zero veg run.

Emerald City Cookies - very little stretch. Finished around 16 inches tall

Heres a tray of Lucky 7s - 1 finished about 40 inches, while the rest came close to 3 feet.20180304_190930.jpg

I always run the same nutrients veg and flower, AKA Lucas formula.
I've got some of those 4 foot trays like yours but I use pots inside the trays and put everything on a small table for drainage.
Filling them with medium like you do is more efficient, but how do you handle a plant that dosn't drink water at the same rate as the others? Right now I can just pull them out and water the others.

I'm set up using drain to waste in coco and perlite. The medium gets watered about 3 times daily and stays perfectly moist for all the plants.

Even 12/12 from seed the plant has to mature before flowering.During this process it grows approx 10-14 days till sex and another 10-14 till flower set. You will have enough growth to either top for clone or take a side shoot.
Stretch,for the most part, is already coded in the genetics,although,low light levels and certain stressors can cause stretch as well. That kinda stretch is usually undesired.
12/12 from seed is similar to growing an auto in the sense that it's best if you're dialed in so they can make the most of that small veg window.
