I have about 7 plants all clones been vegging them for about 3 weeks now. I am using two 175 watt metal hilades one is a white sepctrum and the other is red. There inside my closet which is 2'2w 5l 5h no fan no reader for tempature i usually leave doors open a bit. Just wondering how big I should veg them before 12/12.

How tall are they now? Probably going to want to flip them in the near future though. You have just over 10 ft^2 and 7 plants, that a lot of plant. Also, are you growing indica or sativas?

Let me rephrase that lol. I have 2 feet 2 inch in width 5ft length, 5ft 2inch tall. I got Lsd at 10 in. Xj13 at 9 in. Kosher kush at 8 in purkle at 8 and ak47 at 7 1/2 and two Venus og little ones at about 3 or 4. Pots are 8 inches all the way around.

I was just saying that you only have like 10 ft^2 of floor space to work with. If you fir all seven in there in 8 in pots that takes up 4.5 ft of length alone. Remember you are adding 8ish weeks of growth once you flower. AK 47 should be fine though. I wouldn't let the 9 and 10 inch plants get any bigger before going into flower.

With a lot of plant material in the small space with no fan, you are also at a greater risk for powdery mildew.

I would be flipping soon though. Like within the next week. Hard to tell though.

Yeah thanks man, ill try to post pictures soon. I did top the plants and was thinking about bending them and putting them in zig zag ( \ / \ / ) for flowering so there not crowded.
There is a a/c vent right next to my closet pushes light amount of cold air through.
Plants smell good right now kosher and xj13 fill the room, I have light yellowing on tips of some plants idk if its from nutrients or from it being hot from the lights but they look amazing.

I was wondering the yield with the 2 175 mh would only be maybe ounce and a half per plant If I'm lucky right? lol

Looking pretty good!. I would definitely wait to flower on the venus OG's and probably the one in the terra cotta pot too if you are looking for 1.5. On the bigger girls, I would say that 1.5 is a very realistic target. Definitely don't top the plants and let them grow out like a christmas tree since you are going to have more height to work with than width. I strongly encourage around the 4th or 5th week of flower to stake these ladies so they dont snap over from weight. Or possibly excess heat since it is a small room and could possibly could forget to open up the door.

Lastly, since terra cotta pots dry out faster than the plastic ones, you may need to water that plant slightly more. Not saying that it is looking for water by any means but just some extra facts that could become useful later on. Congrats on the rejuvenation man!

Well I guess in nature, the flip would be gradual but you can just change the timer from 18/6 to 12/12 to start flowering. Some people even do an extended dark period to initiate flowering.
