so - i got myself in a pickle.

when i first started growing i made the stupid mistake of planting my plants at different times throughout the month as i found the seeds. now, i have one monsterous plant, plants that are of all different sizes.
the monsterous plant is beyond ready to flower - while theres some that i dont even think will yet.
i so far have 5 females and the other 6 are undetermined.
should i put it into flower? or wait for all the other plants to be ready?

Pruning is your friend. We don’t know enough about your grow to help much more than that.
Stealth or legal? How much space? how many stages/areas can you run? What lights do you have?

I would run two stages minimum, one for veg, one for flower, flower the big plant by itself to get your feet wet, then let the others go after. Buy more lights, get more tents, go go go!

stealth - 4x2 tent roughly 7x5 room if i had to guess. 300w viparspectra.
I wish i could run another stage, but i can't afford that and don't have the room in my house for that.

Got it. You done goofed. That’s way too many plants for that tent as it is. I am not sure have any thoughts you would like hearing...you might have to cull one or more or just flip them right away and take whatever you can get out of it. Immature plants will still grow and start to flower when they are ready, no problem.

Is it one of the 5’ tall 4x2’ tents? Because I can basically run two medium-small plants in mine, anything more becomes a clusterfuck. I use it for veg, sometimes, but four decent-sized plants packs it full. When they start to stretch they are going to blow that bitch up!

I would also buy a second light of the same model for that tent, probably. Reflector series, or the old ones, or lenses? If you cannot afford another $70...or whatever, do it anyway. If you really really can’t afford it then you have bigger problems you should address ahead of this, honestly. (I have been there)

dw - i planned to get a second one atleast by the time i flower

should i throw them into flower and order the new lights?

A 2X4 is 3 plants max.
I grow different strains at the same time, and not all phenos of the same strain grow similar, but I manage either with raising up the smaller ones or if there's not a huge difference just roll with it.
Pick your best three females and add another light. That's the best advice.
Then when you're done with this grow, if you don't like the output, sell the lights and go 300W COB LED and you will have real nice plants in that 2X4.
See my current grow below.

Your call, I agree with the latest post, overall.
