Need some tips/help

Hi sorry I'm a newbie on these forums but I was hoping for some help. Here's the deal.

I have 3 white queen feminized, in 5 gallon buckets using a 600w MH. As you can see in photos my back left plant is doing great no sign of deficiencies. I did however have a calcium problem and nitrogen on the other two plants as can be seen. I have fixed it and plants are back to normal growth. I'm 3 weeks into my veg going on my 4th week this Sunday. Will it be ok to go into flower after that or should I let the plants recover a bit more for further growth. I'm using advanced nutrients line, so far had given me the best grow so far.

Just two things to consider for veg-bloom change:
a) They will grow 2-3x (strain dependent) from VEG size so flip them accordingly to your growing area size
b) Light can penetrate so much, so maybe around 0.8m for 600W or around 1.1m for 1000W (I'm talking about final plant height)

if they get too tall, you might have to tie down the tops so they don't get burnt by your light.

Don't I have to wait for the pre flower node site before flower or should I just go into 12/12

hard to tell from the pics but they look about 8 inches tall. that about right?

one way to think of it is start at your ceiling and work down. the light will take up about a foot, you'd want at least a foot b/t the light and plant tops. so now we are down to only 5 feet. then add in how tall the bucket is too.

do you have an air cooled light?

and to answer your ?, you can flip to 12/12 whenever. generally, the shorter they are the more they'll stretch but not always teh case

Yea that's about right. Yes I have cooled air.

That's great information. Thanks for being informative.

bucket is 15" so really down to 3.5 ft realistically.

in my opinion, if they are recovered fully from the deficiencies, i'd flip within the next few days to be on the safe side.
