When to flower

[Ava777]

I currently have four clones that I've been vegging for about a month and a half. Just wondering when I should switch to 1212 lighting to start flowering. They are currently under four T5 lights.

What light you going to use for bloom and how tall is bloom room?

The room is about 6ft Currently I am using for T5 light bulbs. For Bloom I am thinking about adding some CFL's as well


Thank you for the reply

Never used t-5 lamps, don't know their intensity or what their capable of doing. Added CFL's in the 230k range would help, I'm sure.
Those look great!
As sort of a rule of thumb I go by is- they'll pretty much triple in size (or more, depending on strain characteristics) after flipped. May keep that in mind.
I use 400hps (for flower), and used to veg for 3 wks ans flipped them and they wouldn't get too big for my light to cover thru flower. But usally, if I let one go for 4 wks, then the lower buds didn't really get enough light.
Now I start clones 12/12 at transplant. They stay very compact, covered well by the light- top to bottom, and I can do 1/2 dozen, or more at a time, in the size same area .

ok if your hitting them with t5 in flower . they will only usually stretch about half there veg height . ok so if your under strong t5 bulbs then I would veg them 1 foot tall no more finish height about 1.5 foot tall . depending on the strain . and this will get you max yield for light available . thing to keep in mind in flower is when its time to add as much light as possible . this will return you greatly in smoke . trust me you cant have to much light . so don't feel bad about your electric bill going up a little because your will get it back in that baggy or glass jar at the end and much more !
