Indoor grow tent. 1000 watts LED's (2x300w and (1) 450), Current temps run about 75 degrees and humidity about 55%. Planted 6 clones in fox farms soil and airpots,(3 Sherbet and 3 Sour Tangie) about 3 weeks ago and have topped twice since, most recently yesterday. I was planning to start the flowering process in about 10 days to 2 weeks. Does that sound about right?
I'm new to this but the plants seem happy. Thanks for any feedback.

You could flip them now if you're in a rush, I personally wait.
It won't go into flower right away, so it's up to you & if room is/will be a problem.

As long as a plant as shown sex, you're good to go.
(Clones have already shown sex, as they're basically an exact copy of the mature mother)

Thank you for the reply.
Room is currently not a problem, but there is an slight chance I may have to finish outdoors.

no problem, but be sure that your strains would suit your climate & finish in time.

I grow outdoor from time to time, but I'm in the UK.
Due to the cooler, wet, short....crap summers I have to choose strains like hollands hope, early girl, etc.
Suited to the weather & a pretty fast flower to finish, before the weather gets worse.

Sunny California, heart of Silicon Valley.
So envious right now.
But yeah, that shouldn't be a problem at all.

Just want to point out though, you aren't running 1000w of LED.
Check out the "actual power consumption" of the lights, LED's tend to draw less power.
Depending on the brand or make, it can confuse the situation.
A tip - wait until you've 2/3 nodes to top a clone.
4/5 nodes for a seeded plant.

Best advice I can say other than that; try your hand at fimming next.
Experiment as much as you can & you'll gain brilliant experience as I can see you're doing a little LST.
Always be sure you're containers aren't too small, keeping in mind they'll still grow in flower - but don't transplant in flower.

Overall you're lady's look great & youre doing brilliantly.
Keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words. I can be a bit anal when it comes to research. I bought a hydroponic systems before I started, but backed off and went to soil for my first grow. Wife was not thrilled with the start-up costs, but since I've just spent $25k for a bath and kitchen remodel and my grow tent is located somewhere other than my home, she's tolerating it.
To combat the awesome weather, we have some of the highest living costs in the Nation. My 875 square ft Home, which was built in 1908, was recently appraised at 1.6 million. I may need to stand on the corner with a sign asking for property tax donations.

Well, a little research is required for everything but between here & grow weed easy.com you should find all the basics.
Never be shy to post a few pics & ask if you've a question, we've all started somewhere & had to learn.
Yeah, hydro tends to be a little more complicated; but it's not rocket science.
Just be careful with the PH & ppm, it tends to flux as the water level drops & the nutes build.
But atleast you've that expenditure over haha
I stick with coco myself, have a rdwc set up but I just prefer the soil.

I can relate, my Mrs is expecting our first & is going insane about the growing. Haven't been allowed to smoke in a few weeks, I plan to send smoke signals today though.
Ohhh, better you than me lol
Just over 3300sq ft house myself, it's a bitch heating it more than anything here. We've rates here, basically the same thing, but nowhere near as expensive as the US.
Refused to pay last year, rang them & told them "you can't draw blood from a stone" got a few threats, but nothing else yet anyway.

Hahaha! I lived in NYC when I was a young fella, never forget driving up home to Woodlawn in Bronx & spotting homeless guys with old clothes, begging signs & BMW's or Merc's - all I had was a hangover & a handful of blisters. Who's the fool there, huh?

Almost a month old, I've done more LST training. I'm going to give them a couple of more weeks before I switch over to 12/12.
They seem healthy and happy, all I've done is water them. With the Foxfarm Ocean Forrest, I've haven't added any nutes but figure I should start soon.

Flipped to 12/12 a couple of days ago. Raised the lights, they seem to be stretching, about 20 to 24 inches tall. Started adding nutes a couple of days ago. They still seem happy.
