My first grow, 2 SATIVA plants, day 45-50 veg, should I switch to 12/12 cycle now or I should wait till day 60? Wonder why the sex still not showing ? The plant is about 31 inch tall. Check out the pics.
Please advice me when to switch to 12/12.

Can't wait any longer to see the sex so I'm switching to 12/12 tonight !!!
I have been using 12.5 w, 65000 k x 6 Led bulbs for veg stage, now thinking to replace them with 2700k x 6 bulbs . What do you guys think?
Thank you all so much. :)

we flip when we see our plant is small enough that once flowered and doubles in size or more we will still be able to supply its demands. the age of the seedling is near irrelevant. I've flowered six inch plants, four foot plants, seedlings even. Dr Greenthumb shows flowering at 8 inches in all his exampled. with you light I would have flowered at six inches personally.
the longer the veg period the larger your yield will be with every strain.

Spend a few bucks and buy a real light for Flower. You need to get the light inside the plant. At the least, Bend them over 90 degree.

Sativas can triple in size during flowering, so you may end up with a pretty large plant. I just switched mine a few weeks ago, it wasn't even yet a foot. But i have height restrictions, as im growing in a tent. Mine was just barely showing sex signs when i flipped it. Good luck to you

See I wait until a minimum of 24" before considering a flip but I have 8 ft limit in my rooms and do a lot of training. Letting them go longer is ideal it helps with overall support as flowers start getting heavy.

I just bought three 22 w, 1800 lumin each led bulbs, removed the globes ,It's shining more now. Maybe I should add 1 or 2 more light?
Check out the pics. If you see anything not right please let me know. Again thank you all for all the tips. PEACE.
