Hey everyone, quick question here I'm sure you guys will know the answer.

Growing 4 plants, 2 Gold leaf and 2 og kush in 5 gal fabric pot.
FFOF
2x4x5 tent
2 600w LED
carbon filter
2 fans.

As you can see in the picture they are getting big fast. They have been under 24/0 since germination. It's day 25 from seed. Should I go 12/12 now or do I have time to let them get a little bigger... I dont want to run out of space and am a little concerned about burning with the LED as they fill out and up.

Obviously looking for max yield but want to keep the girls happy and healthy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!20170612_133437.jpg

I would flip them now so you don't run out of room when they stretch out during first couple of weeks of flower.

Better to have too much room than run out of it, Its not nice having to bend and cut your girls because they have grown too tall. I grow in a 2.4m x 1.2m x 2m tent and flip mine depending on strain between 12 and 18 inch tall.

Happy growing!

What neckpod said. Those are pretty good sized plants and the growth really takes off when you switch to flower. You'll run out of room really fast if you wait a hell of a lot longer.

I'd flip them now . If u take height measurement of your pots then raise light as far as it goes and measure were it sits allowing for 12inch to sit above plants deduct those measurement off the total height of your tent that will give u the max height u want your plants. .if there say 10 inch heigh now from top of the pot in 12..12 they will double in Size some do triple so allow a few more inches of grow room to be safe . But I'd flip definitely

Thanks everyone, I threw the screen over em and flipped them to 12/12... The stretch is REAL. Bent them into the screen, already 12 hours later 3 inches above. Woohoo!

the size of your plants at flower initiation is totally up to you and your confidence in your ability to correctly provide every resource that size plant will need while it matures. I would tell you to flower now if you were my friend. But if you were....you wouldnt be using fox farms.....:P

That hurts chem. I didn't know you were judgmental about different potting mix people. ;-)
