I would veg till they show sex mate, about 6 weeks. You should be fine with 2 meters height. If not you could just tie them down

The Lemon skunk was my last grow and trust me chances are none of them will be the same i grew 4 seeds 2 more indica pheno one took 8 wk another 9 and 2 Sativa pheno, the nicest one of them all took about 11 wks and i chopped the other also at 11 but it definately need a couple of weeks more. As Bambam says 4-5 wk veg definately no longer then that in thet height, the more sativa pheno will triple in height easy when you switch to 12/12 i'd say. The smoke off all my plants are so different but all lovely, The one chopped at week 11 is my favourite perfectly ripe it has such a strong spicy taste/ smell. I will definately be growing this strain again one day but think i would have to grow a mother and take cuttings because they vary so much in height .

HI
I vegged 4 weeks till 2ft and flowered, they ended up about 5ft tall or so but you can always tie them down anyway if you want ( i didnt )
There not a massive stretcher

I would disagree that they are not big stretcher's they got about 30cm taller than my NorthernLight#5 Haze Mist with the same veg time, maybe you got lucky rufus and got the more indica pheno. How many did you grow? How long did they take to flower?

I do 20 a time, mostly about 5ft tall, some 5.5ft tall but with my veg times that was to be expected.
The lemon skunk is a citral pheno, selected by greenhouse. Citral isnt a great stretcher and is likened to WhiteWidow.
Ive grown it out a dozen times ( there s 3 distinct phenos, 1 being very close to the original citral clone - select this one!!! )
EG
Veg 1ft, Finist 3ft ( VEG HEIGHT IS PLANT HEIGHT FROM SOIL TO TOP OF PLANT)
Veg 2ft, Finist 5 - 5.5ft
Veg 3ft - Finish 6 Ft monsters!!!!
The Best oz to size is to flower them at 1ft in 11ltr pots, generally gives 2.5 oz per plant and can do 8 per 600 w light. Soil Gown. Flower times - Harvest day 50 onwards depending on pheno!

PS
2 Meter Tents Perfect Mate, Youll get some good results!!!!
Just flower at about 1ft, you should have 5 nodes by then so this will give a good yield. I top them at node 3 to produce stockier plants.
Dont worry, if they get a bit big you can always tie them down a little
