Hey guys, this is my first grow ever im quite surprised i lasted this long without screwing up something. I am pretty happy with the size she is at right now but im still not a 100% positive if i should switch lights to 12/12 just yet. Its 55 days old atm.

here are a few photos of the plant taken today.

Thank your for the replies in advance.IMG_0911.jpgIMG_0913.jpgIMG_0914.jpg

Well i honestly have about a meter and 25 cm above her right now. I would honestly like to start flowering right now because i feel its time for it! and i think is height is quite proper she is at 45 cm. does she look like she is good to go into flowering though? has she grown enough stems and so on? or should i leave it for more?

Your call man! She looks nice and healthy. If you have the height run her another week or two. Then, if things go right you'll harvest a zip or two. Good luck!

Yes , if you only have a meter to spare you need to start ASAP if not sooner on your next grow , a meter is only 3.3 feet, your plant will grow at least that much before its done and there are ways to do big grows in small places, but we all have our tricks lol

Thank you so much for the fast reply guys. I think im going to leave her another 7-10 days and change the light settings to 12/12. Should i start decreasing 1 hour of light per day? or just change it directly to 12/12?

She is at 45cm now so you can expect her to grow between 90 and 130cm.

She will develope a lot in the 2 month flowering period.

So don't waste too much time now.

Just change light schedule overnight. One shot deal always works for me.

Good luck! Hope you get a lady plant :)

Yea, just go ahead and switch to 12/12, if you wanna do it slowly over a few days just do whatever you like and it'll work out just fine :)

lol dont just jump right to 12/12 , a little tip i learned along the way with my grows and from Friends that do this for a living is that you NEED to put in total DARK "Total Dark as in you cant see anything in the dark room " for 24hrs nothing less nothing more , but it gets the plant ready for the shorter day cycle and lets it know its time to start flowering "THE TIME IS NI, THE END IS NEAR" :blsmoke:

Just go 12/12 , you can go 12/12 anytime you want, the plant will NOT flower in 12/12 until it is mature. Thats why some of us grow 12/12 start to finish.

I moved to 12/12 from 24/0 over the course of about a week. I just felt it would be less stressful, but I'm a first timer as well. Good luck!

ijs.... theres no "total dark" in nature... In nature the days SLOWLY get shorter.. By minutes each day...

right now, where I am the day is 12:58 minutes long.

Last week, they were 12:35 minutes long.

That being said, you can do what ever you want, it wont hurt it.
