-First grow in a 24x24x48 Vivosun grow Tent
-Cheap Amazon grow lights 600W Led full spectrum
-2 seeds that are supposed to be a good indica feminized strain and 1 bag seed
-Holland secret 3-Formula(Grow,Micro,Bloom)
-Medium ProMix soil
It has been 35 days since i have planted these seeds and one of them has grown much longer than the other 2 and It But the pther 2 produced more side branches. Can someone tell me if i am okay to switch to 12-12? All kinds of advice would be appreciated.

Yes it’s time. Your set up is a small one, so you want to have smaller plants. They will continue to grow for more weeks after flipping. If you don’t flip you could do some trimming and create a more even canopy. But it is time to start thinking about flipping for sure.

Thank you! I was thinking maybe to switch from 18-6 to 16-8 for 2 more weeks then start with 12-12

Yes you could do that. If you are not in a rush then use this time to bend the stems or cut in certain places so that every leaf can get light.

It's up to you. I would probably top that tall one, and create a more even canopy. It's up to you though.

I thought it kinda looked like you topped the tip. I try to wait at least a few weeks after topping before flipping.

You should’ve topped it down lower. That plant looks like it’s just itching to double, or triple, in height during flower.

It looks that way to me, too. I made that mistake with my first few grows because I just couldn’t imagine basically cutting my plants in half.

you're probably going to need to transplant that into a bigger plant pot before you switch to 12/12 and allow it a week to recover from the transplant before you switch. if you don't transplant it before switching to 12/12 then it will be stuck in that plant pot until the end of flower

I thought the same thing when I saw the pic... having to transplant during flower is asking for problems.
