They jus got called up to the show .

cannabineer

Ursus marijanus
Sending these into 12-12 tonight , any suggestions , tips tricks on what I might wana consider from here on out ? How much bigger u think they’ll get? Suggestions on good plant food , lighting , anything let’s hear it .
My suggestion refers to lighting: “not CFLs”

HID and LED both have better grow/watt

Switching to flower now is a good idea or you are going to have a serious height problem down the road. You might consider switching out any of the bright white cfls to 3000 or 3500 k rated ones. Also don’t expect much of a yield. Cfls just don’t provide it.

Itt switching to 12-12 will cap their vegetative growth somewhat and maybe offfset the flowering because the plant will take a bit longer to mature.

I would also bend them to expose the branches that aren't getting light to develop those.

I would expect flowers in the beginning of week 4-6, likely going into week 4.

Whether they will stretch and how much depends on the strain.

I think these plants will about triple in mass before flowering and then possibly stretch 100-300% in height in the few first weeks of flowering.

Therefore i think it's wise to tie them down now.

If you know what strain it is then you can find out if it's going to stretch much or not.

You really think they’ll triple in mass though?
There’s 250 watts of CFL on em mixed red and blue , and there’s 110 of LED above those (which isn’t as concentrated obviously ) but u really think they’ll get that much bigger

id move them away from the lamps yellow tips etc usually in my case are light related. And the girls are showing signs of hunger so id get some nutes in. But thats just my opinion i might be hella wrong on all points :,D. Wish you a good grow CFLS always remind me of my PC box days :D

These here plants grew under 24/0 and switched to 12/12 about 14 days old.

This is 3-4 days later and they went another 10 days or so after this before starting to flower.

I don't have a good picture at flowering because i started lst some 3 weeks in and i am glad i did.

I think they more than tripled in mass in the 2 weeks after being flipped to 12/12.

Light was about 100 watt led.

I think it's pretty normal for seedlings to put on that much mass in the weeks before showing sex and starting to flower.

When flowering starts many strains double in height in the first 2-4 weeks of flowering.

I think the pot size will limit their height but i guess your plants will end up 10-15 inches tall lest you train them.
