First off you need to think about the amount of room you have and plan accordingly. I'd just let them go and overgrow as much as they want. or you can top them down about a week before the switch. I use low wattage light to slow the growth in veg.

only thing i can really think of is try to move the light closer and then trim them. trimming slows down growth or you can cut their tops to create multiple tops. are you running out of room vertically and horizontally? in the future u might want to cut smaller clones and then veg them for a short period before you flower them to keep them nice and short.

look for a product called U-turn. will stop most lateral and wide growth and concentrate all growth on buds. will actually increase your yield. i have not tried it but read up on using hormones to increase yield and this one product does.

or look for any Plant Growth Regulator hormone. http://www.growroom.com.au/p344/u-turn

here is a page that explains it all. https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/159989-hormones-pgr-s-vitimans-research.html

An article called "Stasis Photoperiod" might help. I haven't tried it, let us know if you do.

This seems the cheapest as it will save me money having light off more and most pratical to my situation.

I just tried it for the first time. I used 1ml/gal for 3 days in my res, which is what the label instructions call for. Worked like a charm.
