Ok I'm running 18 plants in a 3x20inx60in tent....would you top? Or not top to control space?

My cab is about the same size as your grow space.
Even when growing in solo cups I reckon 8 plants would be max and that would be crowded.
They were 12 across each and yielded 1.5Oz each
It is better to have fewer plants and get better flowers from them than crowd your space.
A crowded grow space causes all sort of problems, with air movement, moisture control when the plant transpire (sweat) and bud set.
I would choose the best 6 and find somewhere to grow the other plants or bin the runts.
It seems a shame but sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind.
More seeds will come and other grow will be grown.
Better to have a fine looking buds than a bag of spindly larf.
Transplanting at sex, will reduce stretch as it will produce transplant shock just at the right time.
The plants then put their power in to restoring the root zone, rather than stretching into the flower phase.
This will produce stocky plants the should be all bud and no bones.
I grow my young plants in 1 liter pots until sex and then transplant at sex in to 8.5 liter pots, I grow in coco.

These girls above in the solo pots were grown in coco and seramis at 25% and spent their entire life in solo cups.

These girls in the picture below, I used my dwarfing technique.
1 Liter pots until sex and then into 8.5 autopot pots in coco with perlite at 25%

The shortest girl was 12" tall and the taller Nothern Lights autos at the back got to 18" tall

EDIT I went and did it again but the system deleted the photos bit of a shame because they were damn fine plants!
@InkAddict$ I will post them again to give you an idea but only when I'm allowed to!
Posting pics in forums is second nature, you get told not to and then the lizard brain takes over and you do that which comes naturally!

But my ongoing request that he put them in the same place every time he comes home is ignored because it's too hard for him to remember to do that. Yep, all my fault.
