They definitely had a nice start before the flip. How many weeks from seed has it been already... 14 or so? Or maybe I took one too many bong hits before counting lol.
I don't think it's so much a matter of time but maturity, and it does make a difference. Some plants will be mature enough to put out big buds at 4-6 weeks, others may need 8+. A lot of it is stem size and strength as much as anything go to flower too soon while they're weak and get weak yields... although for the sog style growing, all you really care about is how thick that main cola stem is![]()
Neither I was saying maturity on one plant may be different from another it's more about the plant's overall development than a specific date... one plant may be good in 5, another 6, another 8. Also will depend on your light cycles the more dark hours your plants get the faster they are going to mature sexually. I end up going by date a lot out of necessity but things like branch/stalk size and development are a lot more important. Hoping to someday have a veg garden that allows me to not rush plants through veg to get them into flower but to only put them in when they're truly ready.
Im jelly.. ill be in ur shoes soon.
I'd really flip like right away there going to double in the stretch your not scared of running out of room?
Why not use the stretch to your advantage instead of wasting all that time in veg
you wouldn't have to go nuts taking all those veg shots.
