Blue dream is ready but strawberry cough can use more veg.

[Splash Gordon]

I’d like some opinions on how to manage the flip to flowering. I have 3 blue dreams, 2 strawberry coughs, and 1 blue gelato 41, in 5 gallon smart pots in a 5x10.

The blue dreams are getting big, and are ready to flip to 12/12 however my strawberry coughs and blue gelato could use another two weeks. The blue gelato is a week behind the rest of the crop due to failing seeds.

I’m debating taking the blue gelato out and putting in its own 2x4 with a smaller grow light. Although, I don’t want to miss out on the difference in light strength.

That or so I just keep training the blue dreams until I’m happy with the blue gelato?

What would you guys do in this situation. I know I’m not the only one who likes to have multiple strains at once as much of a pain in the ass it can be.
*I’ll share pics of the plants when in a few hours

or move the ones that need more time in veg out of the area with the better light after lights go off then put them back in when the lights go on again. Total PIA but it keeps cost down and allows you to flower some and veg the others until ready.

You can lightly supercrop your larger plants to slow them down. I don't like to go full bendy on them unless I have to. Generally what I'll do is pinch the stem until I feel a light pop. Do that in a few spots along the stem. I'm not sure if you'll get 2 weeks out of it but it's a good way to try to slow down the plant.

Lol I had to go full bend on this one. I’m going to re-assess this weekend to decide. Most likely going to pull the blue gelato out put in smaller tent and try to get it in the natural sun during the day to substitute light quality in smaller space.

Switched to flower on 4/3 and this is how it’s going…
