From the pot she is in it looks like you are prepared for a much larger plant. If you flower now your plant will
likely double in height. If time isn't a factor let her rip for a couple more weeks.

Your plant is small for it's age. If you put the new seedling directly into that pot, then that's the problem. Your
plant spent weeks growing a rootball to fill that pot. They won't hardly grow above ground until the roots fill
the pot. So you should have put her first in a small pot for a couple weeks. You don't spend so much time
growing roots you don't need.

I've just transplanted it in the big pot as it outgrew the other one :L But yeah it is a little small as it was growing in the window for a couple of weeks and wasn't growing then I added it under lights. Yeah I think I'm going to leave it a couple more weeks then. Thanks you.

You can change to 12/12 at any time you wish, it all depends on how tall you want it to grow and what quantaty you expect to yield, remember in flower plants usually doubles in size.

Next time start in smaller pots and work your way up to that big momma it's in now. I would of used at least 2 smaller pots before I got to that big one.

At day 42 that hopeful girl should be larger then it is.
These girls are just day 29 a week or so after the second transplant in final pots.

Even though you got green it looks as if you could use more N(grow nutes) before flower and grow them out more.

Another 2 weeks I'd say.

Looks good, but I'd veg a few more weeks but it all depends on the amount of room/light coverage you have to handle the extra growth. If your room/light coverage to grow is ample, let her veg.

What are those yellow tubes hanging in that picture? Is that some kind of bug catcher?
