Question about stretching during flower...

[HumoredSanity]

I still have my plant on Veg, it's a Soma #5 aka Somango, which is described as a 'stretch' plant, which has shown so far... I can't have it get to big, so I would like it to stay within 2 1/2 - 3 feet tall, so how tall should it be in Veg before floweing?
I ask this since I have been told that they continue to grow (sometimes even spurts) in height when they are budding because they want to be closer to the light, even if the light is as close as it can get.

plants will grow another third of there size in the flowering stage so grow it until 2ft tall but you could allways prune it

Prune it DURING flowering? I maybe a newb but I'm not stupid! That's not good advice to hand out, people might cut there plants in flowering

Thanks for telling me the continued growth though, much appreciated.

Plants can triple in size during flowering, let the plants get no more then 1 foot before you change light period. DO NOT prune or trim during flowering!!
