This is my first grow in a 2x5 tent with 6 plants 3 in 5 gallon pots and 3 in 3 gallon bags. Im using 2 Giixer 1000w led lights. Used 1 for a month then after I transferred them to bigger pots I started using the second one. I did add Mykos when I transferred. I leave lights on 24/7.Coming up on week 9 and my plants seem so small. Im using Fox Farms Ocean Forest, filtered water at 6.3-6.5ph, humidity between 50 and 60 and heat at 75-80° Fahrenheit. I was trying to use only water but finally broke down a just used calmag and FF nutrients. I topped the plants after it about their 5th node. I also cut some of the bigger fan leaves.

Everything sounds fine but this. Looked up that light and it's only pulling 70W, that is not going to grow a jungle. I also think your Ph is a bit low for soil.

Did you ever wonder why LED descriptions and power ratings are allowed to be so deceptive? There needs to be some standards, somehow?

Try not trimming fan leaves or lollypopping your girls until just before flipping. You also won't get much return on the last 4-6 hours on a 24 hour run.
After 18-20 hours it becomes a waste of energy. I'd say you are goin in the right direction. Grow on!

Is it even worth trying to flower or should I just start over? I have 1 that I might be able to salvage if I have to toss them. Its the only confirmed female.

See them thru to the end and buy some new lights for the next run. You've already come this far, no sense in tossing it

When should I start to flower and switch to 12/12? I appreciate everyone's advise/suggestions. I never thought I would get this far in the grow. I don't want to give up that easy.

Just do it now. That one plant from your last post looks like its already flowering anyway.
