Hey guys! So I am currently going through my 5th week from seed. The plants look healthy and have taken care of most of the deficiencies. I have one question and hopefully you guys can answer it for me!

Question:
5th week from seed they stand about 10 inches tall and have very big leaves, I feel like they are too small for 12/12 flowering. Is it time to start flowering or when should it be time to start flowering?

Specs:
Plants: 9 1/2 - 10 inches tall
# of plants: 4
Lights: 2x 300w platinum
Strain: White Widow
Growing in?: Hydroponics.

Thanks guys!

You can flower whenever you like, it all depends on how large you want the plant to be. Most strains will double in size, some will triple depending on the strain. I usually flower at 4 - 5 weeks but you can do it whenever, depending on if you have height restrictions in your grow area.

Sorry man, im new to this. I just built a cabinet and am doing RDWC. I kept the light a little too close about 9 inches away at the start, so they didnt get to stretch much.

I grow white widow and I wait till their 30" to flip 12/12. they typically grow another 15 inches before they stop. I have fliped them while they were smaller once and had the same growth after the flip. Figure out what you want your over all height to be then subtract 15 and that's when you should flip.
