Pre/early flowering for auto
LSchnabelanswered grow question 3y ago
I checked out your grow diary and it looks like you are Low Stress Training your plant. That is why she is so short. You have successfully gotten her to grow out instead of straight up which will maximize the amount of bud you will get from this plant.
Your light is perfect at that height. It all depends on what intensity your light is putting out though. I would download a PPFD App on your phone and check what PPFD you are giving her at the top. In veg a plant should be roughly around 350-450 PPFD for an 18/6 schedule.
Pre flower would look like white pistols coming out of the base of the nodes right where they attach to the stem.
I hope this helps.

You will start seeing pistils shoot out from the tops when it starts. I change to or start adding bloom nutes then, but very light and increase more and more as plant stretches. As far as the light goes. I keep my light at top always. I just adjust the intensity depending on what stage. In my perpetual autoflower room it stays on full power at Max height always. I just adjust plants underneath it. Vegging stays towards outsides flowering directly under.

I reviewed your diary and I see that it's an autoflowering plant. Starting from week 4 of life, most genetics begin to flower, or some in week 5. Otherwise, if it's a photoperiod plant and you want to switch to flowering, it's already ready.
I just left the light at the height it is. In the flowering stage, the plant will stretch, and when it's very close to your panel, it might lift it.
Regarding the size of the plant, it's not very short; indica varieties tend to be shorter and wider plants. Anyway, your plant will grow a bit more.
Cheers.
