Need to add some veg time

I had several major problems and started fresh with some freebie seeds to make sure that I was back on track. So, I have five plants of unknown sex, and three strains, but doing fine. Look great, actually. They are all about a foot tall and bushy at five weeks old. I took my clones and cleaned up the lower branches. I would normally put them into flower in a week or two, but I usually don't flower during July and August because of heat issues. I know that I can pinch them now and slow them down. I need to get about seven more weeks of veg time. Do I just keep pinching, or should I study a method like super cropping? Since these are test plants, I don't mind doing some extra work, even though a few will be males. Thanks!

Already a foot tall and 7 more weeks of veg holy s***! Your gonna have some monsters on your hands for sure. If you haven't topped them yet I'd say top twice and build 4 main shoots per plant. They will be pretty well stunned by this but when they start to grow back you can throw a screen over them and start to scrog the hell out of them. Check out Aeroguerilla's grow, as far as scrog techniques goes he's one of the best. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=232585

Yeah, top them immediately. Then after that start with the LST'ing. Also reduce the lighting as much as possible (intensity, not duration). After you've done some LST for a while finishing with a scrog is nice.
