Hi everyone, I currently have 2 ww plants and 2 other that are not yet known growing. My question is when should i start to flower, and are my plants ready yet? they are 6 weeks and 2 days old. I currently have them under a 250watt mh that is about 18 inches away. I have been feeding them fox farm grow big nutes 6-4-4 for about 2 weeks now. and they are in fox farm ocean forest soil. also the light cycle they have been on is 16/8. and the biggest plant is about 7 inches out of soil and smallest is about 4 inches out of soil. Also they have been transplanted so they were taller out of soil but i recently added more so it took about an inch in height off. Let me know what u think :)

u could let them grow a little more maybe.. how is the ventilation in the room?? if its good maybe lower the light a few inches, try to kick the grow up a little bit... in reality 6 nodes is fine to start flowering but u can let em veg for longer if u want to.. what type of lighting do u plan on flowering with??

let them veg. more. i vegged my plants for like 4 months to get them to grow taller. More branches more bud .... hope that helps i have 2 plants as well. i had them under 300w 24/0 for 4 months then i went to 12/12 and am using foxfarm big bloom once every week , 1/2 tablespoon for every 1.5 liters. hope this helps man...

i like to wait until my plants are 12-18 inches tall before i flower. then they end up being around 3-5 feet finished.

hey just be carefull on how big they get. i wish someone would have told me that. i got plants touching the cieling above the lights. the only way i could lower them is if i cut the legs down on my table. and fuck that. veg to half the size u wan them to at the end of flowering. u will be surprised how much they grow in flowering.

hes right. they can double even triple in size during flowering. also foil isnt the way u want to go. flat white or mylar. titanium white is the best paint. mylar is good but its kinda hard to keep clean. i have black/white 5.5mm poly plastic in my room and i love it. water spills on the floor and it just pools up, very easy to clean and very reflective. i even have it sealing off the outside of the room, which is 9 feet by 10 feet. when i want in, i just roll it up to the ceiling where i have bungies so i can keep it up when im working in there. point is black/white poly is the best IMO
