so I looked into it. wall heights are 7' and stud length is 6'9

>Section 3.7.1.4 of the American Wood Council’s National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) states that the slenderness ratio of studs shall not exceed 50 under in-service conditions or 75 during construction. This means that the maximum allowed weak-axis unbraced length for a 2x nominal wood stud is 6-3 (50 x1.5) for in-service conditions or 9-4.5 (75x 1.5) in under-construction conditions. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that solid wood blocking between the studs is required at these spacings in order to consider the studs adequately braced in their weak axis. Both interior and exterior wood wall construction commonly includes layers of wood structural panels (plywood or OSB) and/or gypsum wallboard. General practice is to consider these sheathing products and their attachments to the wood studs as adequate weak axis stud bracing

I will have gyp covering in the end so does it matter?
