When would you flower these?

[Tokintoucan]

hey these are all under a viparspectra 900w led, and will all be in 12l pots. (Older ones will be transplanted soon), older 3 are 6 and a half week from seed and the newer ones nearly 4. The tent is 2m high, was just wondering when you would flip them? First time doing photos, any help appreciated

 

[Tokintoucan]

Also the reason the older ones are small is they had problems earlier in life but doing awesome now

I'd say top the middle 3 and give the little guy a chance to catch up. He looks healthy just Stunted.

Use some lst to redirect the tops on the taller plants and strive for an even canopy!

He's a different strain, they grow real slow in veg, he's the same strain as the one in bottom right (bubbas gift hso) I like this idea of topping them (the larger ones have already been topped). How long would you give the middle three after topping before flipping to flower? Also would topping the big ones again be an idea? To maintain an even canopy

 

[Jemhidiahssj4]

I can see that the bigger ones have been topped already, I would top the 3 who havnt been. Move the little guy to the center and then use lst and supercropping to keep an even canopy. At least a week from Topping "make sure the growth nodes are growing well before flower"

I'm a HID grower with my only experience with led being from reef tanks. Imo they look good, just need some training to fill out. I'm thinking of adding led to my 600w HPS flower.

Try not to go past 1m in veg, you'll have some stretch but you have limited height so just be cautious about them stretching too close to the panel.

Simple rule of thumb.

You go to bloom when the plant is at the point that the stretch will leave you enough room under the light to bloom.

Indica's will dbl in size and the purer the sativa, the closer to 3x the size. So, basically....when the plant is at half the size you want it to be. Bloom it!

Awesome I'm more concerned about width than height tbh. Or is this not an issue? This is the current situation.

All those in that little area = over kill - unless your going to run short plants.

So like 7 ft tall - right?
How big is the foot print? 4x4 ft?

 

[chemphlegm]

concerned about width? then trim them up to any width you desire, make elephant topiary even no matter.

I know, the plan wasn't to have that many initially, would you flower soon then?

Sorry how do you mean? You think I comfortably have enough room then?

And light foot print is 3 x 4. Would you run both switches on?

 

[chemphlegm]

this is up to you, I only say that if you think its too wide then trim it down before you flower.

Haha yeah but I'm inexperienced lol! My plant was to wait a week and a half ish. But if people think I will run out of room I'll do it earlier!

 

[chemphlegm]

no such thing, I've crammed a dozen plants in that same space and let them fly, keep the air flow up temps and rh down and feed correctly
