A few questions, including a washingmachine

Hi,

currently I have 2 royal jack autos (royal queen seeds), almost 7 weeks old and around ~60cm tall. I have not used any LST or anything crazy, but looking back I should have.

I'm running out of vertical space, and am curious if there's a way to know if the stretching will stop soon, and if not, what I can do. I'm also curious about yields at this point, because it's getting way bigger than what I expected, and at first I expected ~30 grams total.. But would like to know what people with experience expect at this point, or if it's still too early to tell.

another question; they're standing on top of my washer/dryer. If I dry or wash clothing, the plants shake quite a bit. Is this a problem once the actual flowers start forming?

(I also use my my dryer to control temperature. advanced setup, right?, lol)

60cm tall,
Hydro TS 600
~25 degrees, ~40% humidity

These plants look pretty good to me. It's not too late to LST. Actually, I think this is about the perfect time to do it. Stretching amount is pretty strain-dependent. But, you are definitely at that point where it's to be expected.

I've never tried to grow atop something that vibrates like that, honestly. People do intentionally get their leaves wobbling with interior fans to simulate wind. Hopefully a little artificial seismic activity won't be harmful, either.

After re-reading your post, some of the stretch might be due to the light you are using. One TS 600 only pulls 100 Watts from the wall. But, you're trying to flower two plants under it. Adding a second light might help if you can.

I’d say you’re close to the end of stretch. If you could get more light on them I’d guess you could see about an ounce off each plant dry. I wouldn’t worry about the dryer shaking. And you could bend them over a little bit if height becomes a problem.

id say the vibrations are great for your plants, as has a;llready been said, it mimics the wind blowing your plants around making the stems stronger and keeping the growth into keeping the plant shorter and stronger.
i was going to experiment with a small 12v motor with an offset wright on the spindle to see how it affects the plants growth, that or an anul vibrator/dildo motor which is the same
