Hey everyone I have 2 chem 91 clones.. they've been vegging under a 400 watt MH for 4 weeks I THINK one is showing pre flowers I'm using plain tap with a lil vinegar to bring the ph down... I I haven't really givin nutes there about 10" from base to tip. Should I start flowering or keep vegging? Any help will help!!;)

If your grow space is vertically challenged, best to flower right away. Just flip the light cycle to 12/12 and you should be on your way. Plants are going to triple is size, so make sure you feed them plenty of bloom nutes, like foxfarm's tiger bloom or anything else that will provide plenty potassium with a just enough of nitrogen. One tip i'll provide is to transfer plants to a bigger pot as well, something like 2-3 gallons nursery pot. Bottom line is the longer you veg the bigger your buds will be, so how much are you trying to reap?

EDIT: if you have 6' to work with, i would veg till they are at least 2ft tall; you'll be reward with massive colas.... waiting might be worth it.
 
They look quite small. Why do you want them to flower so soon? Hardly seems like you would get much bud. I had my plants in veg. for 4 months before I let them go into the bud stage. Still have 4-5 weeks of flowering before they are ready.Guess it just depends on how much bud you are after.IMO......................and I'm new so maybe I don't know, but I read alot and my plants are looking GREAT !!!

5-38-7 is good enough, just use it in moderation. Given such a high phosphorus value, seems like you're using rose food. Just guessing, but if you are using a chemical fertilizer so do yourself a favor and flush your dirt with plain water every month, at least with 5 times the volume of your container, so to wash out all the salt build up. Nonetheless, if your nutes have all the trace elements, its usually good enough to use by its self.

If you ever decide on getting some really good MJ nutes check out this site: http://www.blueplanetnutrients.com/

EDIT:
TRACE ELEMENTS:
Boron is believed to be involved in carbohydrate transport in plants; it also assists in metabolic regulation. Boron deficiency will often result in bud dieback.

Chlorine is necessary for osmosis and ionic balance; it also plays a role in photosynthesis.

Copper is a component of some enzymes and of vitamin A. Symptoms of copper deficiency include browning of leaf tips and chlorosis.

Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis, which is why an iron deficiency results in chlorosis.

Manganese activates some important enzymes involved in chlorophyll formation. Manganese deficient plants will develop chlorosis between the veins of its leaves. The availability of manganese is partially dependent on soil pH.

Molybdenum is essential to plant health. Molybdenum is used by plants to reduce nitrates into usable forms. Some plants use it for nitrogen fixation, thus it may need to be added to some soils before seeding legumes.

Zinc participates in chlorophyll formation, and also activates many enzymes. Symptoms of zinc deficiency include chlorosis and stunted growth.

I've used FF nutes, grow big, and tiger bloom, with great results; got very frosty buds (see avatar pic). Definitely would recommend BPN organic line of nutes, if you want to go organic. I haven't tried them myself but have only heard great reviews from other growers. Going to try those next time around; Price isn't bad, its the shipping that gets you....

BTW, those are female pre-flowers. A plant can grow more than double, like 150% when you flower it, so just try to plan accordingly for your space and light distance from the canopy of your garden. They seem a little small. Sometimes 10" plants can be stocky little pitbulls that are ready to flower, but these seem lanky on the inside, which says to me "not a lot of bud sites yet".
