I was wondering about how soon i can start to flower my plants.....Im not looking for yield on these two plants just results in general. I know you can put them on a 12/12 from the start but Ive also heard that causes slow growth. So what is the soonest you can flower with out slowing growth greatly?
Bump...Nothing? I was hoping to have the answer before i left work today....I guess it will have to wait untill monday...Maybe I will try begginer guide
you can flower when ever dude, some people go 12/12 from seed, in that case the plant still veg's its self for a bit untill its mature enough to produce flowers, so basically flower when ever you want you shouldnt have slow growth if plant is healthy
yea no prob dude, just checked out your grow to, plants were looking good on ur last update, keep up the great work lol
Aw man i was trying to answer your question right after u posted but i got disconnected. I see what you're asking and i would say once your plants are showing signs that they have rooted (preferably started in veg 24/7 or 18/6) and are growing is the sign that you can place them into flowering mode (12/12) whenever you feel like its time. Right now im at that point, debating on when to start flowering. I only have 1 room to grow so i have to choose either to continue growing them so they can produce more bud later on, or be impatient and place them into flowering now only getting the minimum amount. I have some fresh seeds that just broke soil and some clones that have been growing for a couple of weeks so once i do change my room into flowering, all of the plants will finish up at differant times. This is what i wanted to do in the first place but with a veg room and a flower room. I wish i had space. Hope this helped and wasnt just a pain to read. More luck to yuh man, and remember, GO GREEN!!
Post 2: Oh i forgot to add, when vegging, 18/6 is better than 24/7 because it gives the plant the dark period to rest and take in all of the nutes its been saving up. Starting with 12/12 would make the plant weaker/unstable, you never know what will happen. K im done.
yea, its ok to go 12/12 sooner than you think. just realize your yield will be directly affected, as well. people usually say after 5-6 nodes, go for 12/12 at minimum. but, theres no reason you can't go 12/12 after some roots & decent leaf surface area are present like someone above said. my g/f flowered some white rhino after 12 days of 20/4!! but, she still got 15gs of primo bellisimo (not to mention 3gs of keifer sutherland).....
