Wow, thank you for that.
Well, I don't really do much if the girls are from seed cause we want to see what they do if left to thier own devices.
There is a height point where I say "whoa" and start using the hemp based twine, but for the most part todays plants have a lot of Indica in them which tends to limit the height they get to indoors.
I like to have the girls go in about 1' tall from soil to tip of plant. That way the 2x-3x stretch is kept managable.
In the clone runs they are placed in anywhere from 6"-2' depending on what they did during the original seed run.

Some like the Viet black would tend to stretch up to 10X what they were when placed into flower.
I placed one clone in at about 6" and it came out about 3' tall (6x)with huge spires of colas.
It's not so much I am a great grower, it's more that I am watching them a lot and writing down what they like and what they don't seem to take to. Each plant is a little different even in the same seed run and that is tough to take into account without paying close attention...
or writing it down and taking pictures.

Thats where my grow logs come in paper based and on here and other forums.
