Need advice on when to flip to flower

[kratosxxl]

Hi all , anyone familiar with mimosa strain ?
im on week 3 veg, trees are averaging between 14-17 inches with gavita1700 led. Rdwc
How much is the stretch ? Should i veg more ?
Im asking cuz last run i did gorilla glue and they stretched to 5-6 ft almost from 16 inches

You're saying gorilla glue stretched from 1 and 1/3 ft to 6.6ft? At most it would stretch to 3 times its height at flip. Not to be a dick but that's not believable.

It all depends really on your ceiling height, distance from hanger to light and distance from light to plant. But at most a plant shouldn't stretch to more than 3x its veg height at flip imo....

Its 5-6 , not 6,6 sorry. But yes majority was between 5-6. So the way lights are hang its dificult to lower them so if it stretches 3x thats perfect i should flip now but if they double light will be around 30 inch away

But back to my point anyone had mimosa strain ? Its considered exotic strain and i think its sativa dominant. My main concern is if i flip now what if they stretch just 1x ?

I've grown it once and just about doubled in size if that helps any. It is a stretcher. Lighting and environment all play a role though.

I keep my night temp at 62 to 65 deg for all my grows. They were purple right from the beggining. Guess that was just the pheno idk.

I can schedule the lights to run that cool at night. But im keeping temps between 80-84 lights on

Just looking at the placement between the plants and their structure, I would flip yesterday.

They should double on a flip. You should get purple without even trying if it's Symbiotic genetics.

Im trying to figure out how to lower the lights in case if i need to so i can flip them now

Plants usually stretches' 2 to 3x it's height during flower depending on genetics. Also to get purple it's usually genetics and flowering in cooler temps.

What he said ^^^^, They like warm temps in the day and cooler at night.

how do you like those gavita 1700e's? and compared to what did you use previously? i am thinking about making the switch from hid to led.
