4×2 tent
Fan, humidifier, heater and exhaust fan
Soil: FFHF and 5 gal pots.
Nutes: Sensi Grow with Voodoo Juice, B-52 and Cal-Mag feed and water once a week of each.

My girls are growing okay from what I can see, but I'm unsure when its the time to flip to flower. I can see some leaves that have holes, but not sure what that is since it's only 1, maybe 2 leaves that haves holes. I have topped every stem longer than 5 nodes, but would appreciate some feedback from you guys.

Thank you! And, happy growing

I would wait until you’ve filled 75-85% of the screen before you flip, but looking good! The purple / red on stems makes me think they need more cal-mag

I've been wondering what that is! Everywhere I've read cites genetics. Also, in some forums people were saying it could be a nutrient imbalance due to defoliating. I will diuble the Cal-Mag to 10ml/gal.

I’ve been dealing with a similar situation after switching from MH / HPS to LED. My plants had the exact same color on the stems and stalk. I’m increasing cal-mag and everything is turning green again! Your plants could be exhibiting these traits genetically, I’m not 100% you need to increase cal-mag, but from what I gather it won’t hurt to increase a little under LED :)
