HHHEEEELLLPP are these ready 2 flower???? lights go on soon need 2 know asap

How old are they?

You can begin flowering whenever you want, the flowering hormone is always in plants at every stage of growth and all it takes is a change of light cycle.

When you begin flowering only depends on you want and or need from your grow and your systems capabilities to deliver it or not.

from cutting... planted 4 and half weeks ago??

it depends on how much growing space you have....what are the dementions of your box?

ds100 100x100x200cm

inside

think they look skinny(top pic)"""

wait till it gets a 1/3 the height of the tent then switch to 12/12 you should be fine

it looks fine to me maybe a lil streched but its ok..........they look healthy bro nice grow

ye man... 1st time not 2 sure...... my light goes on at 2am, should i put it on 12-12 now ??

should have flowered a while ago imo. 18" is usually as big as i let them get before flowering-usually around 12". I would suggest pruning it well and clipping lots of the small branches so you dont get a bunch of popcorn buds. you can also top it and/or bend it out so it doesn't outgrow its space. Plants all have a max yield, they will produce this in large nugs or small nugs depending on how many nodes. some plants, like blueberry, do great when grown larger bc of their high yield, and can lose yield if not topped or trained. Most growers make that mistake the 1st time, including myself. The plant spends about 8 weeks in flowering, so it will get much bigger than it is now, so you might want to take that into consideration.


The top branch is pretty stretched, i would chop it so that it is same height as the majority of the plant, you want it to grow consistently. Its like if your cooking, and u put 1 thing closer to the heat than the rest-they aren't getting the same love from the light.

For now, make a nice canopy put it to flower cut off the bottom 8-12" of small branches since they wont grow much, and it will lower bug and mildew problems. Just make sure you never trim off more than 50% at one time or you will stress it and slow the growth. They regrow fast, so dont be shy-we all were our 1st time. also google "cannabis grow bible" and get the scribd version. read it, learn it, love it. best book for beginners to learn.

Look into Low Stress Training (LST). It will give you more yield, but that is for the next grow.

so i need change 12/12 lights then...

put it on 12-12 topping is gonna set you back 1 week or two...............take a couple of clones from it now and put it to flower next grow just LST it

you should be fine with 12/12 now

thanks... change in nutes???? ionic coco-(formulex-grow-blossom-boost) any1?

ya, no more nitrogen till like week 4 in flower, then a lil bit and thats all they need. focus on phosphorus. It is most necessary during flowering. Most grow formulas are heavy in N, you need heavy in P with some decent K. you will also want a good bit of Potash midway into flowering.

Im not familiar with ionic but i found this on their site. Looks like a decent recipe to follow for 1st timers. http://www.growthtechnology.com/instr-ionic-schedule-sc.asp

Personally, next time, i suggest sunshine #4 and Fox Farm to all my patients. Sunshine has nothing in it to react with the plant, so everything that happens to the plant is because of what you did or did not do. Keep a detailed journal of what and when you fed them, what pH and PPM were etc (ppm not entirely important, but helpful). after a few times you will know what they need and when, but FF has a better chart than ionic for newbs to follow doing good tho, mine were waist-chest high 1st time i flowered if it makes u feel better lmao. now i get about a qp easy off a plant.

when should i start feeding with the bloom... next feed, im changin 12-12 tonight???http://www.growthtechnology.com/inst...chedule-sc.asp
