When should I begin flowering ?
Mr_Weeds_Autosanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey Growmie,
You can switch to the flowering stage as soon as the plant has established a solid root system. In optimal conditions, plants should be kept in their vegetative stage for approximately 60 days or at least 12" inches if space is an issue. This time period should give the plant the opportunity to maximize yield and acclimatize to growing conditions.
Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

If you don't know the estimated stretch for your strain, count on doubling in size, if growing conditions are good in veg.
Find the manufacturer's plant distance from light source, and that is what your flower should wind up with, in a perfect world.
If she starts vertical stretch faster in flower, you will have to do LST early, before buds start to ripen, to stay within recommended distance from light.
FYI, I can get within 6" of my 180W LED light, before leaf burn.
Formula (Current height x 2) + rec dist = total distance from light to top of soil.

My advice is to ask Robert what the flowering stretch is on that strain, its sativa so you might want to know.
Unless you've a hole at the top of the tent :)

Your choice basically. In Theory you could keep them in veg till they fill out your tent.
Only thing is if you stress them somehow (Lst,Hst,Fim,Trim, whatever...) you should give them some time to recover so they can fokus on flowering afterwards.
For this Lady i would give her 2 more weeks but thats just my opinion and i dont know how much space or time you have. 😅

Light Bleaching of Top ColaOne of the main colas on the critical orange punch is basically 4-6 inches from the light. I tried to supercrop but it just bounced back.
I'm leaving it as-is in order to protect the lower buds on the Cola (instead of cutting it off). Good move or bad?

"Fade" vs Nutrient issues / Harvest Readiness?Is this just "Fade" or am I missing something? Also, Upon zooming in I am starting to catch glimpses Amber, am I getting close? The more mature colas are starting to show yellow /browny purple on the leaves, younger ones are still nice a dark green. Any help is appreciated!😏

Pistils turning brown?Noticed quite a few pistils have been browning. I’m not sure if this is a sign of anything? I kicked her into 12/12 about 3-4 wks ago, and I thought the budlets were looking good up until now. This is my first grow so I’m still learning, any help would be appreciated!

Trich's / Buds look ready to flush/harvest?Do these trich's look mature enough to start a 5 day flush? Strain is a 55% sativa 45% indica autoflower. Breeder stated total time was 10 weeks, we're at day 80 today but thats not uncommon. I'm seeing 70% cloudy 30% clear a but wouldn't mind a set of more experienced eyes.
