Problem: Can I flower yet?

So I posted this in my journal but no responses yet, just thought I'd put it up somewhere else in hopes of more/better answers.

My plants have been happily growing for the last four weeks from germination, and here's my issue:

I realized that I need to either move these guys when my current lease ends, or have them harvested by that time... Which is Aug 20..
The problem is that my roommate doesn't really want the full plants moved in right at the beginning of moving into the new house.

So, my question is: Is it ok to flower these babies yet? or will I be able to harvest them in time?

any help is appreciated, thanks

Flower away that way you can have some good bud while you r moving in.If anything take a clone and you will have a plant to take in your new house

Going by the pics in your journal, they are still just babies, not even fully juvenile yet. You could force flowering now but yield would be decreased, and I don't know that they'd be fully mature in 60 days. That'd really be rushing things. Have you considered creating a box grow of some sort? Something portable and not obvious?

sweet, thanks for the reply!

Yeah I was thinking about taking some clones from them just before harvesting them so that I can keep them moist and start a new room.

So , you think they'll flower in time?

my friends (who don't really know what they're talking about) say that flowering now will cut down my end yield by a ton, is that true?

no I haven't, that's a really good suggestion.

I'll talk that idea over with my buds, see how they feel about it, Ive seen some box grows before and they looked pretty good.


Any other suggestions/comments?

It is true the longer you veg the more you will yeild but you will still get a decent amount of yeild.you have 9 weeks till your moving date so I think it will be done.

sweet, thanks Wyte.

I'm going to commence flowering tonight then

EDIT: of course only if a boxgrow is not agreed upon

hopefully the babies are agreeable with the change

You need at least 5-6 full nodes and the plant should be a about 10" or more. Once matured it should be ready to flower.
