How/when to ‘switch’ plants to flower?
AhoyItsAndystarted grow question 5y ago
From what I’m reading regarding plant heights, I should probably flip my plants to flower now? I am going to start research on that now, would any of you have some helpful tips? My plants are about 3 1/2 ft tall atm, on a second floor porch with about 5-7 hours of sunlight.

I’ve been topping them as needed here and there as they grew. I did not realize how much taller they would continue to grow, or I definitely would have kept shorter sooner lol I’ll work with what I got though. If I need to move indoors I will

hi mate, you need to consider the fact that your plants will keep growing about 40% more in the flowering stage (depending on the strain) you can toped or LST to make them bushier and not taller.
hope you find this useful.

If you lack vertical space you should have topped waaay back, not now, but way back, and then topped again, and again, and just grown a couple massive short bushes.
Just saying, the rest of the information has been provided already, i won't repeat what clonez has said.

Heya!
Typically you want to flip when they are half the desired height. When they stretch they will grow twice as tall, sometimes triple with a sativa strain.
With 5-7 hours of light it will start to flower.

Slowly Adding Seedlings to Veg Tent - Can the method below work??Let's say I have different sets of seedlings that will go into a veg tent 2 weeks apart.
For example, week 1 = first set of seedlings to veg.
Week 3, add to veg tent
Week 5, add the next set.
Is this even legit? Can you just extend the veg period until they all catch up?5y ago

Wondering if I should start flushing soon? According to my schedule, my first five plants should be about ready to harvest the first of this coming month. Besides the big one which may take longer, I'm thinking I should start to flush maybe next week or so? -Pictures in diary-

Flushing before harvest? Really? Any good science evidence to support or just commonly held belief?Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)5y ago

When to flush?Checked trichs under a scope. Lots of clear and cloudy trichs, no amber. How soon should I think about flushing? Using Ebb and Flow. Pics are of my most mature plant. Others are up to 2-3 weeks behind, would really love to harvest all plants together.
Week 6 of flower.

New DWC setup, pH ppm rising, water lowering. Should I top with fresh water and pH or wait to see if it is relatively stable first?I've attached the first few days of measurements since the roots hit the water. I take measurements every 24 hours and the backslash separates bucket 1/2. Does it looks like I need to top up already or should I wait for a more dramatic change? Thanks everyone!
