Looks to me your back up plan will bear out.

Nice looking plants. Bangi Haze by Ace?

general rule of thumb...

indica leaning will stretch around x1.5 to x2 it's size - ie flipped at 12 inches = 18-24 inches after stretch

sativa leaning will be around x3 stretch so 12 inches = 36 inches (some such as SSSDH can stretch more like x4)


topping and suppercropping... it's not as hard as it might sound mate... if I had plants that were 18 inches tall and I wanted them to be 12, I would just cut the 6 inches off the top and plant them (rooted it in a starter cube)...supper cropping is a method that requires you to snap the stems (in this case at 12 inches) but without breaking the bark/skin so it is floppy, but still attached, then you lay that snapped branch horizontally in such a way as it's supported by a neighbour and after a day or 2 it will start to grow vertically again..

Ok that info helps a bit. looks like a good way to keep an even canopy. So is it possible to also top or supercrop a plant during its first week of 12/12 or must it be during veg? If possible I may go on and try those methods on 2 of my taller plants which are on day 3 of 12/12.

its ok to supercrop during flowering... the severe topping might shock them a bit and put them out of whack so better advised for when in veg....

when supercropping, pinch the stem to soften it inside a little then using forefinger and thumb gently bend it til it breaks inside.. try not to break the outside but if you do a little it's probably going to be ok...theres probably videos on youtube (seems to have everything else anyway)
