Plants have grown too big in tent. Ready to flower

  • Hello every one and thanks for reading.

    This is my first ever grow. I am using a grow tent 1.2m X 1.2m X 2m tall. A 600w HPS light start to finish. I have a 4" RVK fan and a 4" Rhino filter. The fan is pluged into and automatic fan controll unit which

    speeds up and slows down acordingly to keep the grow tent temp at 25C. I have a humidity and temp monitor in the tent with a dehumidifier out side the tent to help keep humidity in the 40 - 50% range.

    I also have a small rotating fan and a night heater with thermostat which turn on using timer as the light switches off(light also on timer). I also have EC and ph pen.

    I am using nine 13 liter pots. 6 of which have soil and the other 3 have Canna coco. I am growing 5 barnys farm BlueCheese and 4 DNA genetics OG Kush. 3 of the OG's are in coco.

    For the soil Iv kept the ph at 6.2 and the coco at 5.8 and all seems to be well. I am using the Canna range for both the coco and terra. I am knew to this so im learning as I grow and could do with any 1's help and input. It is most welcomed and needed.

    Heres the first problem..... I let them veg for 2 months and they have become a meter tall and some a bit taller. To compensate I have started to suppercrop the BlueChesse and 2 OG's since they grew taller then

    the rest and DNA suggest they respond well to it. The results being that some of my babies have over 15+ healthy tops (I have also been topping them as they've grown) .

    But theres only so much I can bend them branchs that space is an issue. I believe I just might have bent them down just enough for me to flower them in the space remaining.

    Can any one tell me: 1 how much I should expect the BlueCheese to stretch in flowering. 2 do I need to change my ph in flowering for my soil or coco. 3 Do i need to flush the soil or coco before I start

    flowering.

    If any one can help me with my situation I would really turely appreciate it. Iv only made it this far with strong healthy looking plants thanks to people on this site and others like it posting up extreamly useful information..

    thanks

    P.S. Will hopefully have pictures up in a day or two.. And are ONA blocks worth buying?​

Sounds like you got a nice grow going on there pal. I also flowered my girls after 2 months due to financial circumstances haha but i've read up about what to expect. In the flowering stage they pretty much double in height, so i don't really know what your gonna do with your plants if they reach the top of the tent? I have had to scrap my tent and build a little room for them. The Ph levels should remain the same through out both stages, i found a small pic which shows both hydro and soil for ya. Hope this has helped you some mate, happy harvesting!
