Earliest Flower
- Thread starter DR.GONZO420
- Start date
I cant back this up but id imagine 2 things would happen. 1: The plant would be to weak to flower and i suppose the stress from trying to bud\flower would kill the plant off, or 2: it will produce a very small yield and buds will contain low THC since the plant isnt strong enough to produce a fair amount.. Thats just my 2 cents.When is the earliest time to flower you can flower.? some people say when its 12 inches.. can you flower before this...?

I flower at 12" and they at least double in height by the end of flowering. I know one guy who went into flowering when it was just a few inches tall and it grew like an autoflower. I read in the bible that your supposed to wait for pre-flowers before you induce flowering. That takes about a month usually.
you can flower whenever you want. many people have gone 12/12 from seed. remember though, that veg time greatly effects the yield so most people wait until around 12" or until they see pre-flowers. pre-flowers are a sign of maturity and are a good sign to go switch your lights over. if you don't have a lot of space or if your lights aren't very powerful, i would recommend flowering well before the 12" mark. more like 6" or 8"

I am currently flowering with 3 of my plants at around 9 inches tall, 2 of them are around the 2 feet margin. i was forced into doing this because if i let the 2 oldest go any longer they would grow into my light and that would not be good =/.
teach me to plant 3 more when my others are ready to go to 12/12..
i will tell you how it goes, as i said i just switched about 3 days ago.

It depends on if you're using clones or seeds. From seed, it's best to wait til they are around 4 weeks old, and start to grow alternating nodes(it's easy to see, once they get there). That means they are in puberty, and ready to produce.lol When you use clones, they are already genetically mature so you can throw them on 12/12 whenever you feel like it, as long as they are rooted.

you can flower from seed. The results are hilarious and an extreme waist of time.
This is completely wrong... 12/12 from seed (no mercy) and 12/12 from clone (sog) are actually the opposite of a waste of time, they produce fat colas in very little time.
Heres a picture from the no mercy website, hope Cees doesn't mind...

ya thats not true at all but I would recommend a solid 4 weeks of veg (with a full strength nute solution) but its up to you and how your ladies are doing. Generally though the longer you veg them the potentially bigger your yield will be. When they look healthy then put them into flower. The most important part isnt size but the health of your plants when they go into flower.
