I veg for eight weeks before flowering in a 4x4' tent. The plants are very large, four completely fill the tent (I use three gallon pots).

That said, I have a 1000W HPS lamp which penetrates the canopy a whole lot better than your little blurples, so I'd say 2-3 weeks, four at most until you can improve the lighting situation.

Just keep tying them down to get a lot of horizontal growth. You want as full a canopy as you can get before you let it grow vertical. Helps to do scrog with th screen but you can bush em out with lst and some topping or supercropping if you want.

If you want led and want to fill that space you should get a kingbrite 480w off alibaba. Those blurples are pretty much garbage and would only cover like 2x2.

Plants are pretty small. I would Veg and top them all to have a full tent. Just remember they will almost double in height when you flip, so keep in mind the vertical height you have to work with, and your light.

Ya, I'm a newbie too so what the fuck do I know. I just bought a SpiderFarmer 4000W LED with dimmer and its bright as hell. My plants seem to love it way more than the cheap chinese blurple.

I grow 4 plants at a time in a 4x4 and usually keep them in veg for 6-8 weeks. I top 1-2 times and manifold them until I get the canopy to fill the tent from wall to wall before I flip them into flower. Just to give you an idea of how much a difference the lights can make...

This is how my last grow looked when I flipped them to flower under close to 600W (actual draw) of cheap Chinese COB LED lights at 8 weeks.

And this is how my current grow looked when I flipped them at 6 weeks (2 weeks under my new lights) under DIY Samsung F-Strip lights that were dimmed down to about 450W.

While I do attribute a lot of the growth difference to the lights, some of it is also obviously due to the strain and different growing methods (current grow is organic and in larger pots. But the spike in growth I saw when I switched the lights was unreal.
