how early can i flower some plants there prob a week or two old have about there 4th set of leaves on, i know ppl wait till there a foot high ect however can you just switch them over and get a smaller yeild???? cheers
 
You can grow 12/12 from seed, but a plant won't show it's sex till it is ready expect around the 7th or 8th node and one month of growth.

You can flower at any time but you won't get as big of a yield. Longer veg time=bigger plants=bigger yields (generally speaking of course). Good luck my friend.
 
There isnt really a rule of thumb on height to yield but the taller the plant the more yield at harvest. Its all about knowing you pant and how much room you have.
 
most people wont consider it untill its at least a foot tall and usually people wait for it to mature so it will have more bud sites

not height so much my friend. overall size. scrog and topping make short bushy plants that will yield more than a real tall one(in most cases. some plants dont like topping i hear, mine love it :cool:)
 
I always flower at about a foot tall.But i have flowered plant's straight from seed.I would say that if it is a small closet grow flower at about 1 ft this will give the plant more light it will double/tripple in size any how.I pull about 2/3 ounce of each plant but only ever grow max of 4 plant's at 1 time.

this is so very incorrect my friend!

you can flower a cannabis plant at almost any given time (apart from ridiculously young plants)

i myself flowered at 2.5 weeks on my first grow, the plant was only 3
inches tall when it went into flowering and i ended up with a 1 foot plant
and 11.3 grams of dried bud off that little sucker.

(Edit: I was only using 2 fluorescent grow tubes inside my small grow box)
 
your plant will double, maybe triple in size during the preflowering phase. If your plant is 1 and a half feet tall in veg then odds are with tlc and food will be between 3-5 feet tall when its time to chop chop

EXACTLY, finally someone understands.

Overall i wouldn't recommend trying to flower a plant with anything less
then 2 sets of branches though because it will be a complete waste of time.
 
This is not just with cannabis. Its kind of like a rule of nature, the bigger the tree, the more fruit it will yield.
 
Actually after reading this topic the first time i threw 4 of my 2 week old plants into flowering so i can post a topic for this kind of questions.

U can grow a plant 4 as long as u like before flowering, u can even go straight from 12/12 from seed, this is one method, but is best done wit sativa's, Also u could veg your plant til it reach's a foot then flower,obviously u'd get a much bigger yeild,This iz because the plant has a bigger base for flower growth, rather than if u'd flowered when the plant woz 5inchs , Depending on your height restrictrions n overall space,the bigger u gro in veg the bigger they'l get once flowered.
 
I've had a plant outside show hairs the second true leaf set.... Most of you are wrong about this month crap A plant can show sex 2 weeks in

Smokey is so very correct my friend. 12/12 from seed or not as an example will not flower until the plant is sexually mature. We just speed up the process when we force our plants to flower.
