his issue is that he dosent want to have a grow going on during the summer because of the traffic in his house and he feels that by LSTing it will prolong his grow.

Cannot believe the amount of pistils today compared to yesterday!! Here's a before and after, is it really worth it to veg for another week or should I flip them now?

personally if you have the room keep on vegging, the longer you veg the bigger your yeild is going to be. when is the verry latest you want to harvest? whenever the latest date you want to harvest is subtract 10 weeks and thats about the time frame you have to vegg.

people say they stretch to twice as big after the flip but thats not always the case and they are going through a growth spurt right now you might be amazed what a extra week or 2 will do for them :)

I want to continue to veg for another week but I didn't know if I was harming the plants by keeping the 18/6 light schedule on when they were trying to flower or something. I will stick to my original plan of flipping them in a week still :)

nah no harm, actually the longer the lights are on the more they are going to grow. it sucks flipping to 12/12 because you lose 6 hours of food prodution every day but thats the sacrifice you have to make to trick them into making them fat juicy budz.

the hairs you are seeing are "preflowers" wich will come in on veg stage, they wont start to produce buds untill the 12/12 if they are a photoperiod plant, if for some strange reason they are a autoflower they will start to finish on 18/6 wich is the recomended light schedule for a auto from start to finish.

Rearranged the hanger setup to allow for me to raise the lights higher to allow for more growth :)
Before I had a "filler" hanger that allowed the lights to get low enough to reach the seedlings.
Then I hung up the thermometer around the light socket fittings to get the most accurate reading. Enjoy the pics, they're starting to smell sweet already.

Just measured them last night, each is right around 6" tall which is exactly the height I wanted them to be when I switch to flowering :)

Gonna flip the lights tomorrow and then on Friday I will change the light bulbs so I have 3 2700k bulbs and 1 6500k bulb on each plant. (Opposite of what I have now)
