NEED HELP!!! When to begin flowering?

i'd fim them or lst them, veg 2 more weeks or so and flip to flower. i'd lst them if i was you since you seem to have a fair amount of horizontal space left to fill up still.

bring them lights really low within 3 inches of the tops to reduce stretching. looks like ur nodes are getting spaced. u want as many nodes as possible because when u switch to flowering everything will really stretch

Personally I would flip now and prepare to lst or spercrop. These will at least double in size. I would worry they would get too big if you wait much longer.

keep growin 4 another few weeks,dont worry about height u can always pinch the tops when they get to big,dont flower now it wont make it any quicker cos they r not mature enuf to flower

What is lst?

low stress training. you bend and tie your plants so the growth points are about even to each other so they all get the hormone that tells it to be a main growth point. keep tying stuff down so you have an even canopy as it grows till you fill your horizontal space better.

wtf are u doing? are you trying to yield 1 gram off each plant? waste of time and space

how very helpful of you.

I wouldnt worry about it man, when I began my current crop I started 2 from seed and vegged them til they had 4 nodes in about 4-5 inches. I would suggest making sure that theres at least 4 nodes of mature leaves (5+ sets). Mine were a bit leafier, but it probably has to do with genetics. Since I started flowering, they about tripled in size over 3 weeks and ill probably start LST on them next week to keep them down. Like Shiresmoker said, you can always top them too!

This is a bit extreme for most, but it looks like this.



I've flowered in 5 gal pots that stayed below 32 inch from floor to tops.

The plants height can be controlled without losing out on yield.
Do it right and you'll be lowering your lights.
