First Grow...Should I start 12/12 now?

[SmokeMonster32]

I would go ahead and switch to 12/12 now. It will get really crowded half way through flowering. Some strains stretch 3x their size and some not so much. If you were familiar with that strain then you would know how far you could let them go.

This strain is a small bush so it shouldn't get too big but even since I transplanted them they all exploded with growth in the last week...even more so then I thought. Hopefully they don't grow this fast throughout the flower but I'm thinking they will max out the tent. I wish I knew a week earlier to flower but now I know haha.

I'm still of the opinion you should switch now, especially being a newer grower. Jungles are nice ( as mentioned ) but when it gets so packed in there that you can't properly inspect your plants for NANNERS then you are taking the risk of those beautiful girls getting pollinated. Now that, my friends, is a sickening feeling.

Very nice.. Just showing us your ladies, or did you have a question as to when you should flower them

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum and growing in general but I was hoping one of you would be able to let me know if I should think about switching my lights to HPS and over to a 12/12 time setting soon. I've had these clones rooted for 27 days now. They recently were transplanted but seem to be recovering fine from it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

No just was putting them out there for help on when to flower but I have already put them into flower since I originally posted...Now I'm just taking the feedback I was given and going to apply it to my next run. I for sure will be flowering at least a week earlier next time around

Thats cool. Yup.. I use to run into that issue when I 1st started out. Would veg for a 3 month or more period, then by the time flowering rolled around they would be in huge ass 55 gln trash cans and 5 to 6ft tall some of them. lol Needless to say I had a damn good harvest, just no room to move around. lol

Ya I did Switch but you're right I will flower earlier next time. What are nanners? Also I should be fine with them all being females they are clones and all showing the preflower white hairs but if I start straight from the seed next time I'll def flower sooner. I just didn't realize how fast they would grow since I transplanted them.

nanners are what a female plant throws out if it herms on you..
