Trying to figure if I have enough height to bloom a larger white widow

[Rubby813]

Hi guys,
My question is this.
I have a white widow and a blue blood ( mother plants) that are 39" tall and 35" tall (from base of pot to top of plAnt) respetively. The max height I can raise my light is @ 60". Will these stretch beyond my limits?
What about lopping off the tops? Other options?

What is the height of just the plant? We have no idea how tall the pots you are using are. Keep in mind that once switched to flower, your plants will double or triple in height depending on strain genetics. I think you are going to be pushing the limits of your height requirements. Are you doing any LST?

are they mothers or are you flowering them??? if they are gonna stay as mothers take your clones from the top and you should be good. If you are flowering these plants your probably gonna run out of room.

I think you are probably right Ultradan. The pots are @ 9" tall. If plants would double it won't work.
Wasn't really planning on flowering these but I could use to make some room.
What about removing @ 1/3 of the plant ( top). Would it start a new top?
What about taking clone from top 12" of plant (whole top), then flower the rest of plant.
Didn't see your post go4snyper til now but I think I answered your question.

Do you have the room to keep clones? If you top the plant it will grow 2 new mains instead of 1. Can you train them down a little bit to make more vertical space?

I have room for the clone.
Just raised my light as high as I can go, it's 66" from floor.
2 reasons for my thinking of doing this. First they are getting rather large though not unmanageable in the mother area.
Second is I am curious as all hell to see what they would yield.
My plants have been going into flower on the small side to this point and the yield is not quite what I am looking for.
Maybe rethink my style and go larger?
