SWIM (someone who isn't me) has their first grow, I am just helping with research. 300w led, inline fan and carbon filter keeps grow box air, negatively pressure. Its a very small grow. Right now at 51 days veg, they stand at 9 inches tall, super thick and bushy. No signs of preflowers yet. Is it too early to switch over to 12/12 light schedule?

You can switch any day you like, you don't need pre flowers. You can go 12/12 from seed if you like. Good luck with your grow :-) sorry, SWIMs :lol:

Looks like you should turn the light off before taking photos ;-) and no, it won't hurt them a bit.

At this stage of growth you'll want to get on top of that discoloration before it takes grip and effects the rest if the plants life.

Yeah dude I would not worry about SWIM, if you're a peace loving person and does not intend to harm anyone with terrior attacks its all good! We are peacfull people!

Your plants look very healthy, good job! I would flower now and expect them to tripple in size by harvest time with out any kind of topping or tying down. I like to flower before 12" to help control height and keep them under control.

id like to see a general consenus about switching to flowering, should there be an extended dark period given (I.E 16, 24, 36) hours of total darkness before switched to 12/12?

I've done both and really don't notice much of a difference, the big difference I DO notice is three days of dark right before harvest. That is almost a night and day differenct with resin and stickyness production.
