How much longer shall i veg

[Kushman_23]

Theyve had just under 2 weeks already (since they got transplanted and filled out there new shoes) they all still need topping too. When shall i be looking to top them so i can leave a few days to recover before flipping to 12/12.

All 5 are jaffacake cookies

I wait till they fill out after topping and are about 18 to 24" tall. How long that takes really depends.

 

[Budzbuddha]

IMO you can veg them a good 45 - 60 days before
deciding flip.

I deffo wont be near that haha, only second grow so im trying to focus on other things atm. Its merely a training exercise if anything to see if i can pull another end product down & be happy with what ive got (stil trying to get right temps/humidity/feeds spot on etc)

I just want it to be worth while yield wise too, nothing huge

 

[Boatguy]

Even if you flip them this early, they wont start flowering till they reach maturity. Probably around 4 or 5 weeks.
Better off just topping now, wait til they show sex, then flip to 12/12.

Good luck with your grow

Nice one fellas
Theyre clones from a fem plant, so i assumed they will be fem too.

they was fed 2h ago, shall i wait for them to dry out abit before topping them or doesnt that matter atall?
And do use recomend topping once or multiple times?

Regardless of if its a fem seed or a clone, showing sex is a sign of maturity.

Every topping slows the plant down. Since you seem in a hurry to flip the lights, top once and then just do alittle training.
Good luck

Step one: DON"T EVER BE IN A HURRY WHEN GROWING CANNABIS

Step two: go a head and top them, wait 1-2 weeks and top each top again.

Step three: if the side branches start getting taller then the top, use a string and tie the branches down a little to spread out the plant.

Step four: veg the plants AT LEAST until they totally cover the medium you are growing in. Lighting up the medium is wasting light.

Once you flip the lights it will take between 1-3 weeks for the plant to actually begin to flower. This transition period is when the plant goes through a stretch and will usually double in size(some times more).

Water them. Look very dry. Veg another 2 week min top at 5th node just my opinion so far.

Did it completly snap or is it still attache.. Depending on the size of the break. It can be saved most of the time.
Show a picture and i'll explain how if its possible.. Thru grafting

 

[Frigault]

Cut the main stem in a '' V " shape a cut the broken tip in a fiting match shap to fit in. And place it insids. Look at plant grafting cutting technic and find a sutable cuting. You can also do a wide angle cut on both and attach it with tape that isent to tacky.. I usually wrap a string 1 inch below cut and wrap it around all the way abive the cut. The key is ait tight connection and ant tight seal. You can then put a stick to support it an put honey over the string to air seal and avoid rotting. Leave for up to 1 month or till you see significant growth. Can be put in flowering like tgat also. Good luck.

 

[Frigault]

If not sure leave the snappen top in a container wuth water and bag it. I'll go home in 3h i'll break a stem off and show you with image how i'll attach it and i will send it here for you to see.

 

[Frigault]

I know every technique imaginable. Has i'm an horticulturist by trade. So do hesutate asking question.

 

[Frigault]

So this is subjet 'male indica' was going to get ride if it since i found a more sutable male for mu use.
1.So i selected a top about 2mm in diameter. 2. I cut it
3.i made an angle cut on both stem.
4. I used blue painters tape to hold it in place
5.i wrapped the whole section with red tread
6. I cut fan leaf tip to lower rltranspiration.
7 i place it in a plastic bag to keep moisture high and mist dayly.

Most recommend at least 60 days of veg. Can’t really rush things and expect good results. Worthwhile yields require patience.

And if you say you have other things to worry about, why start a process that requires your time and effort for usually at least 4 months+, no offense

Top them tomorrow then veg at least 3-4 more weeks .
