It's doable but much easier if you give yourself a bit more room. The rule of thumb is to veg the plant until it fills between 1/3 and 1/2 of your screen. Then flip to flower. Once you are familiar with how much your strain stretches during flower you can dial this in. Better to under fill the screen a little than over grow a lot!
Ya... Not long after the whole 6" comment I made a I began to question it myself. Start thinking 8"-10" at min would be better. And, damn good point on the watering space, I sorta have that prob now.

I cant really start scrogging them until they go into the flowering chamber. And I'm not sure how much longer the girls in there are going to take right now. It's common assumption that their Indica and they're at 27 days flower now so maybe in another few weeks they'll be done and the clones can get moved up and trained into the screen for a week or more before 12/12.
