General note about flowering transition: more mature plants transition better/quicker ......
maybe it's all timing I think If you have a great setup, and everything is consistent, the transition from vegging to flowering should actually be quite quick ...
Strong note on general. Some genetics will lean well enough in SOG's with min or zero veg time and all that rot. Just in general, the life-cycle of a plant mimicked into a shorted time span indoor generally benefits from some veg. Optimal growth however is not a tent/closet growers best. Even with SCROG. But one reason SCROG does really well is the health/maturity factor when switching nutes/lights going into flower.
Having to put declaratives in because this is not woo or any 'fucknuttery' ... just basic plant science on life-cycle observations other people have done in the lab on most cannabis forms.
Optimal results vary from person to person. What I like to see is considered wasteful in both time and effort. But I have definitely run fast SOG enough to know why I prefer the long take. And outdoor in general.
Righto. Just had to chime in that your timing and nutrition control with that SCROG is a good thing and I wouldn't change anything about it. And that indeed your flip point will be fast with a "mature" plant versus a seedling. Canna 101 for what it's worth.
Cheers.
