All the leaves is pointing down They look tired , is the light about to turn off when you take this photo?
Yes mate, light about to turn off and did a nutrient change to coincide with bloom cycle.

How long do you guys veg? I know there are many factors involved, but for discussion sake, what’s the average?

Generally speaking, there are so many things to consider when deciding how long to veg that it is a really hard question to answer without a ton of other information. My current grow, I pulled some clones and vegged for about 4 weeks, then flipped them to flower. On the other hand, the last grow from seed, I probably veged 6 weeks before flipping the ones I flowered.

I ran out of height last grow so this time I topped and am SCROGing so less veg time, in addition to being from clone rather than seed. Assume your plants will AT LEAST double in size after flip to 12/12 and plan accordingly.

It probably wont hurt anything, but next time keep giving them veg nutes until you see buds starting to form, not right at the 12/12 switch.

For my setup I usually let my girls veg for around 45 days before flipping but like you mentioned, there are too many factors involved to give a perfect answer.

Your plants look amazing and you have trained them really well, I would consider thinning the canopy out and removing some of the fan leaves because this plants are going to stretch loads over the next 3 weeks and you could run out of space.

Thank you! I’m not too sure which top fan leaves to remove. I’ve been removing mainly the bottom ones. Any advice? 2nd & 3rd level fan leaves from the top?

Would deffo trim most off your fan leafs to open up the canopy because they will grow back within a few weeks but your second photo off them look much better then the first and with flowing nutes I don’t use them intill I start to see the buds form otherwise I think it’s a waste of your nutes

Take the fan leafs from the middle also so when u look over the plant u can see threw them so that way the light will be able to get to the smaller buds and hopefully get some good nuggets off them girls hope that helps happy growing mate

I would look over the plant and remove about 30% of the small stretched shoots ( gives the buds more room to grow) and remove some larger fan leaves that reduces the airflow, ones that are all bunched up.

This is what my underside looks like right now. I removed a BUNCH of stuff from the bottoms. On the top, I remove any fan leaves that are blocking bud sites.

Lower canopy looks great, I would put a desk top oscillating fans under there, increase the airflow.
I would not remove anything

Already there, dude. This is a little higher. Second scrog is waiting for the buds to get bigger. Fan is up higher. The blue thing on the bottom is a humidifier that I have running. It blows up from the bottom pretty good.
