Top or Forget It

These plants are 2 months old from seed.
Put them in a portable greenhouse 3 weeks ago.
Transplanted to 7 gal pots.
Day length: 15 hours, 47 minutes currently

My question is, they seem to have stretched a lot in the last couple weeks, am I too late to top
the plants to stop the stretching, and promote side branch growth?

Honestly they look lanky due to low light with the node spacing etc. Also for 2 months they should be 2-3 times the size they are now. Like they've just focused on stretching out to get ample light for the leaves they have.

Top, bend, super crop..... Go for it. You can try something different on each!

Seeds were planted May 1st. They are about 30" tall now.
They were short before transplanting and moving to the greenhouse 3 weeks ago.
They were on an 18/6 light cycle
Below is pics from 6/3/18 in my small tent before moving to greenhouse

So, you think in the greenhouse outside they aren't getting enough light?

Give them all the light you can at this stage. Do understand the different stages of growth??

I do understand the stages of growth. I can't give the plants anymore light than they are getting because they are outdoor. Working with sunlight, all you have is the light provided unless I'm missing something? 15 hours, 47 minutes currently of daylight
