They look fine, some minor heat/moisture stress (curling)
You can flip em whenever you want it's all about how tall you want em and how much light you have to work with?
I never feed full strength

Looking good. You should have the filter at the exhaust end of the fan and have the ducting right at the roof as you are blocking some extraction power by having the filter at the intake end.

Yes like this set up of mine where the fan is mounted in the attick and i dont have a filter on the otherside (outlet) either just ducting that leads outdoors through the roof.

ok so i have been reading alot and have a composition book full of notes. i keep reading and reading and its just all confusing to me. i wanna go hydro cause its quickest way to grow, im planning on growing over the summer so id have about 2 months. i read that aero takes 6 weeks. its difficult but im ok with that, i like the hands on stuff. but before i start i have some questions
which is best and quickest?
ebb & flow
bubbleponics (really interested in this one but heard mixed reviews)
aero (heard this is about 6 weeks)
drip
DWC (heard this gives big yeild with minimal care)
and what size net cups should i use for the veg and flowering stages?
i heard 4 in is good for veg and flowering
i just want max yeild for my
3 1/2 ft wide
2 feet in
and 4 feet high
space
please answers would help so much even a PM
(note: this will be my first grow but if it works good during the summer it will be my permanent system)

ok i mite give that a go.ive just cut the top leafs off my plants because they was all twisting an didnt look like they was guna sort out so i cut a bit down the stem from were the leafs was growing.this shouldnt kill my plant should it lol
What stage are you at.
How old are the plants and are they still vegging.
Your extraction has to be right at the roof as thats where all the hotter air is as the heat always rises to the top of any room.

Buy a vented hood. stick the carbon filter on one end and the blower on the other. Take what you have and stick a vented hood in the middle. Your plants will love you

When you reply to a question hit the reply with quote option so i can tell who i am speaking to.
You can start with some lst or supercropping when they are about 3 weeks old and yes when you flip to 12/12 the plants will double or triple in height by harvesting time. In your case i would start flowering them at about 10-12" tall. Just measure what height you have to work with.
