I got mainly indicas but there hybrids as well as 5 sativa dominant hybrids at what height should I put them into flower when only having 38 inches of space between the stalk and light. I have 2 600 watt hps with a 400 watt in the middle will all parabolic vertical hoods. How much can I pull from these and at what height should I put them into flower when only having 38 inches of space they all range from 7 to 9 inches on the small ones and 14 to 17inches on the big ones? Any help is much apricieated

I'd top the big ones and let the little ones catch up so I'd have an even canopy. If you only have 38" I'd flip around 12-15" . Just train them bitches so they don't get too tall, you might have to tie a the sativa down but if you top them it should solve your problems for now

There topped multiple times I was thinking 12 to 15 inches as well I'm wanting to pull a QP a plant

you won't get a QP off of a 30" plant, I'm not trying to be a dick but just realistic. I just had a twin, 2 headed plant, and that bitch was a monster, it was a Critical Kush and my dry weight was just over 3 oz, but most of my 30-36" plants pull 2oz of dry product. I don't know wet weight because that shit don't matter
 
I would tie them down even more. You can easily get a QP in a 30" plant, what really matters is the square foot per plant and light when you are tying them down. Stretch is strain dependent, general rule of thumb is up to 2x height for indica, and up to 3x height for sativa, but even this is is just a guideline. My current run is supposed to be 100% indica, and they went from 9" to 36" after I flipped under a 600W using a screen.

Up until now, I have run 1 plant per 4 sq ft, and get 4-6 zips each (plus a bunch of popcorn bud for edibles) and I am nowhere near optimized.

Will they reach 30 inches if I put them into flower at 12 to 15 inches? And ty guys

possibly, how much they stretch depend on your veg light cycle. If you are going 24/0 or 20/4, you will see stretch, if you are 18/6, you will not see much stretch, also some depends on the strain as well, but from my experience its all about light schedule if you are growing inside, outside it is completely different

send me some pics of your 30" plants that have gotten you over a QP of dry product. I'd love to see them, and thats not being sarcastic, the bud to leave ratio has to be incredible, I have a great internode spacing but that is truly incredible if you can 4-6 of dry product per 30" plant. My Critical Kush from Barney's farm was about 32" and had 56 tops, it was a twin and I topped each side and was about an oz short of a QP

I would need to dig though my journals, but this is a pic from the first plant after dried and jarred. 121grams of bud, I think it was also just shy of 2 zips of trim and popcorn for making butter:

Can't tell just by looking at the picture. How long have they been flowering? And you need to check your trichs if they're mostly cloudy you are good to go. If you want a more couch lock high wait until some of the trichs turn amber colored. I harvest my crops except autoflowers at 9 weeks give or take a few days.

Unless I misunderstood, he is asking when to flip, not when to harvest. So I don't think they have been flowering at all.
 
Start scroging. Look at the latest photos in the link on my sig. I'm hoping to pull at least 12 o's off one, but it's a monster

That's what I'm talking about HB........ People picking premie buds talking about this "head high". Head high would be from mature sativa period. Not from harvesting buds prematurely.

Am I right? We need to address this for the newbs like myself.

LET YOUR BUDS RIPEN.......

Correct me if I'm out if line.
