3 Girls, but different sizes. When to flower?

Ok, so I have determined I have 3 females with obvious pistils after being put in flower for about a week (to sex them, got rid of males). I've had them back in veg now for a week and they are still flowering and growing but not growing like I hoped. They're all 3 different sizes, the tallest a little over 2 feet. Are these girls branchy and bushy enough to bud? They dont appear that way to me, but this IS my first time. Advice please! (And they don't really look as sad as they appear in the one picture)

Im new also, I dont think you should have flowered them and turned them back to veg. If you wanna know the sex. Take a clone from each plant wait till it grows roots and about a week later switch 12/12 and that will let you know what plants to chuck. You might need more lighting. I dont know what you got but to me looks like there stretching to far for light.

Your plants look like they are stretching for the light hardcore. What kind of light are you using? Maybe it's too far away. Also the stems look small. You may have issues supporting heavy buds when you try to flower. Stick a fan blowing directly on them to help strengthen the stems a bit. They seem a bit stringy too, not many "bud sites." You could flower now if you wanted but don't expect a massive yield.

I moved the lights to take the picture, they are not lacking for light in there. They're not stretched at all, just not bushy.

ok, so wait some more? I do the fan, I've got the lights.... I can wait if I need to.

Well if you know everything then why ask what we think? here is a 2 week old plant.......





My branches are growing branches already!

WOW I just realized this is the same plant in my avatar on the 17 this is the same plant on the 22 of this month think its growing any?

The way to tell if they are stretched is if you have more than a 1inch space between branches (nodes).

What lighting are you using?


if you wanted to bush them out a little more try supercropping, this will also help with your different height issues.

Thanks for taking over my thread and trying to make me look like an idiot when all I did was reach out. I wont be asking for any more advice.

I didnt take over anything I was showing you what a 2 week old plant looks like. He complemented me on mine I said thanks it would be rude not to. And that I owe all my success to RIU. So dont be a dick when someone gives you advice about your plants and tell them NO there not..... My advice would be is to listen to what someone tells you......

I've never been called a dick before. LOL Seeing as I'm a pretty blonde chick. But I'll try not to be a dick anymore. I just thought it was rude to say my plants look like shit here's what one should look like. I'm trying man. I wouldn't have come here if I wasn't.

They look very nice but are reaching for light. The white walls you have there would reflect light much better than the tinfoil. Looks like your using tube floros for light but can't see them so can't be sure. The floros need to be a couple inches away from the plant after the first week. Maybe a few CFLs dangling in there would help. I would bend them ladies over tie them down so the floros aren't having to reach to the bottom leaves train it to form one conopy thats even in height. They look like they are primarily indica so they should be short n bushy. When you start budding photoperiod it will still increase 50 to 100% in height. So I would lay them over and let them vege with as much floros and CFLs as you can cram in there Untill they are about half as big as you want them to end up.

Well for one I haven't said they look like shit I said they need more light, just like everyone else on here said...... There green and look healthy. The only think there lacking is light. I was giving you a reference on what a plant should look like that don't have a stretch. Dont ask a question if you dont like the out come. Sorry for saying your a dick.

I appreciate all the advice. I have 2 floro tubes hanging about 2 inches above the plants, one large tube facing upwards from the bottom and 2 halogen grow lights shining down on them. I supercropped them (as best I could) to help get them some more light. I had already topped them a couple weeks ago hoping that would make them bush out, but it only helped a little. I am patient, I just want to do this right so I can eventually be self sufficient. Teach a man to fish....

and I'm taking the foil down now.

Can I ask what the watts are on the lights? maybe there not enough watts?

they are not reaching for the light.

as you put them in flowering,they stretched (as they do in beginning of flowering) and then sprouted flowers.
since they have flowers, now you need to reveg, which means that out of every flower will sprout multiple new budsites (just leaves for now lol)

you might have to prune bit. (later)

just keep them in veg and wait, you are doing fine.

when they reveg, all sorts of mutant growth is going to come out of the buds.

later it sorts it selfs into normal growth, but there is going to be an abundance of growth, like i said, will probably need pruning.
just keep on going as you have done and ask again later when you see this (or read up on revegging)

the growth is going to slow for awhile, you set the plants some back with this, probably at least 2-4 weeks before you can flower again, but they are going to be some nice bushes and now you are sure they are all female.
