When Should I Switch to the Flowering Stage
Budz_Bunnystarted grow question 2 years ago
Calling all experienced growers! I'm wondering when the best time is to start the flowering stage. Should I do it in 1, 2, or 3 weeks? I'd love to hear your opinions on this matter, as I want to make sure I'm making the right decision. Please share your thoughts with me!

As a rule 70% of the canopy should be vegetated and then the flip to flower will fill up the rest
Allthoug you can vegetate longer if you have the room for it!
Some growers have more plants and switch sooner to flowering and get the whole room filled..
In your case if the height wize is enough i would top once every growing branch and then wait 3-4weeks till i flip to flower!
Hopefully this was of some help 😎

Switch time is purely up to you , and the space available. Personally I like to veg to 8 to 10 weeks untill the plant shows maturity. Plus longer it is in veg the bigger the yield.

Possible runt?How old do ya'll think this plant is? Reason I ask is because it's an autoflower and it already has pistils growing. I think it may be yet another runt. I'm starting to get really pissed off.. I haven't done anything to stress it.

Gorilla Cookies Auto - But Purple?About 2-3 days ago my Fast Buds Gorilla Cookies Plant developed some purple pistol hairs (photo). However Gorilla Cookies shouldn't be a purple plant, except for the leaves? Is this normal, a rare genetic mutation or did I get a wrong seed?

Ready to harvest?I took these pictures of the trichomes today. I heard trichomes should be 2/3 milky and 1/3 orange. On my pictures i dont see much milky trichomes but a lot of orange ones. What does that mean? Are they ready to harvest or should i wait? Side note: I fertilized the last 2 days

opinion on bud maturity ?About 6 weeks since flip from flower and wanted to know if the orange/browning of the white pistils means that the bud has already reached its max size and will only ripen ,but bud sizes look pretty small to me does this mean yield will be low ? or am i just overthinking.
