How do you know when to start flowering???

Emon73 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-19-2008, 05:30 PM

Its my first grow been doing alot of reading and getting crossed info do you start flowering before the plant gets too tall which I have read or do I let the plants mature before beginning flowering which I have also read.

I am growing shwag seeds but they seem to be doing great (I never kept seeds from garbage) they are healthy almost 3' tall and I am starting to see pistils I think, the little fingers growing from the joint. any advise would be greatly appreciated.

All depends on preference.

Some people start flowering immediately.

Some people go 24/0 and then straight to flowering.

Some pics would be nice.

When to flower is completely up to you. It all depends on how large you want your plants. This grow I started flowering after 3 weeks to keep it a small grow. As for the pistils you think are growing, are they white hairs? If they are not white hairs then they are not pistils.

You know your plant is going to at least double in size don't ya ? I'm on my first grow also & I started flowering her @ 15" tall & now 19 days later she is 31" tall.

Please post some pics of your plant
