Is she ready for flower?

Ok thanks and what would I use for feed.
There are a million options out there. If you want to go with non-organic then I would suggest an easy 2-part line (I've personally had good results with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow A&B and Bloom A&B). I'm just starting my first organic grow so I don't have much solid advice for that.

Let me get this real clear first. Miracle grow organic soil is fine. Miracle grow food is fine. Knowing how an when to use them is different to each person. I do not think MG organic soil has any time release food other then the organic matter added. Its a lil bit heavy is the ONLY issue ive seen with that particular soil.
You have gave water only an she is beautiful , the plant wont lie.
6 weeks into promix and you would have a def or 5. now that 6 weeks is past its time to start thinking about what food to use. That plant will at LEAST double in size when you flip her so be careful with size , your running out of room.

Yes but go by your plant not by us. Whatever food you plan to use , dont give it full dose right away .... 1/4 dose , then 1/2 dose ect....
me personally , i would go 1/2 dose then water a time or two to see how she reacts. then go up or down from there.

Hi mate.
I’d like to thank you for your advice a couple weeks back. I have used a small amount of plant food and they seem to have really liked it and look a lot fresher and healthier. So thanks again !

Hi people. Just wondering as it’s my first grow if my Acapulco Gold is ready flower or should I go another week. She has been topped and LST. Just done some light defoliation too.

Have you checked the pH?

I'm growing Autos, and I don't know anything about how big you want your plants to get, but that plant looks too small to put into flower, unless you're going for small plants.

For reference, most people wait until they are about this big before putting them into flower:

She's a beauty. Looks like my clone only Green Crack.

Plug it into a power meter and see?
I have 2 of them now. One is more powerful than the one you have pictured. And the plant is on my latest thread now which I’ve uploaded a picture of. Looks a lot healthier now and it’s sitting at around 13” after 6 weeks of veg. Was 8 weeks but I’ve been told not to count the first 2 weeks.

Ive been watching alot of defol video and i would recommend removing 100% of those new branches that are forming. They wont amount to much in the grand scheme and also each and every on of them will be using up energy and neuts. Removing all of them allows all your plants energy to be used in producing big buds on the already large branches. This should also encourage a surge in growth.

Is this the light? Because this one claims to be 4000 watts, but the actual draw is only 100 watts.
Yes mate. I guessed it was 4000w haha. But I have the one you have posted and also have the one sarahjane211 posted. So 2 lights I have
