Hi.
I planted my babies 45 days ago. The light condition was 24h. When is the best time to change the light condition to 12/12h so flowering begins.

It's up to you. You have plenty of veg time already and could begin 12/12 today if you wish. Keep in mind that they will stretch two to three times their size at the time the lights were changed. That means an 18" plant now will be three to four and a half feet before it's done. They look to be heavy in indica influence so I would guess the stretch will be more like two times than three times.

keep in mind when you will want to be in the room during flower because 12 hr. cycle will be dark when you may want to water or check on em. Make it easy on you.

45 days should be more than enough for veg. When my clones sprout I have them veg for 2 weeks before I throw them in 12/12

Plants do not necessarily double in size once flowering begins. Longer veg times means the plant grows closer to max height for that strain. The "double or triple" mainly applies to those who begin flowering when the plant is 3-4 weeks old.

Thanks for your replies. I want to know is the growth good for 45 days?
I used fertilizer with high nitrogen and low phosphor for 30 last days. When it’s the best time for cutting off giving fertilizer high in nitrogen and starting the fertilizer in high phosphor?
Also would you tell me how long flowering period usually takes and when the plant is ready to be harvested? How can I understand it’s the right time for harvesting the plant?

I use a 12-55-6 NPK for flowering/blooming and continue to give veg nutes for the first 2 weeks you are in flowering. U could switch them into flowering/12-12 now if u wish, but make sure u are using 2700k or mixed specturm bulbs for flowering and you will know when to harvest when 90% of ur white hairs have turned redish. Harvest usually takes any where from 8-16 weeks depending on the strain from looking at ur plants being that they are indica i would say 9 weeks max. Goodluck :blsmoke:
