what should i do? biggest indoor colas

hello, well I wanted to know what should be the better way to manage my situation.
First of all, thanks for being interested and well i have an 8x4 ft and and 6.6ft tall indoor tent.

I count with 17 plants
3x Royal Cheese (RQS)
3x Amnesia Haze (RQS)
2x Presidential O.G (RQS)
3x Strawberry Cough (Dutch Passion)
3x Early skunk (Sensi Seeds)
3x Chemdawg (humboldt)

they are in planters of 11lts and have 10 days in veg phase.
Im now using 600w HPS at 50 centimetes from the top of the babies.

I wanted to know what should be the better way to have very long and big colas. What techniques should i use or any idea u have with my indoor dimensions for improving production?

Thank u very much i hope i explained my self in a good way.

any idea is usefull !

Oh im using Light mix soil bio bizz, and Bio heaven + Bio grow .
the temp is 26 Celsius and humid 40%.

Longest cola is the top cola in a plant that has NOT been topped. Hard colas- strain related and affected greatly by temperature and light. Lower temps and all the light you can pour on them. That many plants?You need way more light. At least one more 600 IMO. With air and with light go big or go home.

Vegging in a flower room is doing your 12/12 from seed and it works.There are whole threads on it. However HPS in veg gives unwanted stretch and causes loose airy buds. You are looking for big hard colas. Your growing space is already set so light is the next. Under 600 I would say about 8 plants max considering your goal. Others will wake up soon and chime in.

I agree with hotrod, cut the number of plants. You'll drive yourself absolutely crazy trying to grow that many plants in a 4 x 8 tent and in the end you'll get more with fewer plants. I ended up with 16 in a 12x10 bedroom and had to grow vertical with most of them. A hood will only cover 2 plants when they get bigger. Colas-take advantage of the bottom branches. Grow em sideways until the bottoms can hold their own and are taller or tall as the top. You'll have a bouquet of colas. I cut them loose 1/2 way into 10 weeks of 12/12. Do two and see how it works.
