I like to wait a week after anything that shocks the plant and add some superthrive to your waterings.

Switch to 12/12 when they are 1/3rd the height you want your finished plant to be. How high that is depends on your space.

Roots will still grow for about a month after you force flowering. Typically I wait a week or two.

Agreed, 1-2 weeks, it's a good idea to wait until they've settled in and you're seeing new growth, then you know they've adjusted and the roots are in good shape. When you first flip you get about 2-3 weeks of stretch during which you want them healthy/vigorous imo.

you can flip immediately, or wait as long as you wish...

This is starting to sound like a flush/no flush thread.

I don't think we're debating whether or not the roots will continue growing or the plant, I could be wrong but I think we mean it will slow it down and reduce your outcome

I have a question along the lines of this….. I just transplanted to my grow room myself, a build that i spent about $300 on.
I am using grow slabs and was going to get 4x4 grow blocks but it added up quickly and I am out of cash… so I cut up another grow slab I had. The rock wool is only exposed on two sides of each square.. I am worried about the roots coming out of the side.
Does anyone believe this will be an issue?
