holt79 · Mar 19, 2016

hi guys I have 1 plant I really need to switch to flower maybe 2 plants. Biggest one is 14 inches tall and I'm growing in a 4x4 tent. strain is Fruit Punch
FFOF x 25% perlite
botanicare pro grow 10ml
5 ml calmag
2 ml silica blast
always ph 6.5 to 6.7
I sprayed them down with azatrol not sure what I'm spraying as I see nothing and only one place on plant looks like that and only one plant. Heres pics of the one plant and other plants

did you top this plant?

holt79 · Mar 19, 2016

Yea i sure did right where that new growth is and other side week or 2 ago and once like 4 nodes up

Nothing ate the new growth..you messed up the topping.Didnt cut the complete growth tip,this allows the cut deformed leaves to continue to grow from the cut tip.

This is what It looks like to me.

Oh thanks this my first grow. Should i switch to flower tomorrow then

How big is the other plant? How tall is your tent? If you only have 2 plants and your tent is tall enough, I would let them veg for another week or so. Depending on the strain, you can figure they are going to stretch in flower. I would count on them doubling their height from when you flip.

Strain is heavy weight fruit punch sative
Tent is 4x4x80.
2nd plant is only like 8 inches tall but out side of tent i do have a 4 bulb t5 ho. Could use for the smaller plants.
Only got 3 plants this time around in 3 gallon pots

I second this recommendation, also take into account the distance you're going to want to keep the over all height from the lights.
So roughly look at: The plant doubling the height then, add in a few inches for light distance subtract that from the current space between plant and light = how much higher you can let them go before switching to flower.

Ok i go out there in morning see what height would be if light was all the way up and plant sitting on floor by the way useing a 600 watt hps

With that light, you should get a pretty good yield. I would consider moving them into 5 gallon pots, and since they are sativa I would supercrop them to make sure they don't get lanky.

If this is the fruit punch you've got, you've got a mini giant going. 100cm to 160cm

I'd suggest, in your spare time doing as much reading on here as you can stand. It'll pay off in the end for sure.

from the pot setting on floor to the bottom of the cool tube was 55 inches now if I take away the 16 inches from what I read I need to keep the light from top of plants I have 39 inches or just little over 3 feet of plant height max

Math is fun.
I'll use my tent for example *measurements are in inches, no sprouts/plants used in the formula*

Tent is 57 tall, does it mean I can have a 57 plant, nope.
Tent total interior height = 57
Distance from bottom of light to floor = 47
Pot height is = 11

Here's the formula: H - S = G
Distance from bottom of light to top of soil in pot height (H) = 36
Safe distance from light (S) = 5
Available grow height (G) = 31
So using H - S = G will be 36 - 5 = 31
When to flower? When you reach half of G
Divide 31 by 2 = 15.5
Considering plants may double in height, and my (G) is 31. I wait until they're about 15 to 16 inches tall when I flip to flowering cycle.

tent =80
ground to bottom of cool tube 62 inches
pot. is 9.5 inches
I'm going to go with 12 inch safe distance I have a cool tube and a 430 cfm exhaust

ok plant can be 40.5 inches tall so around 18 to 20 inch I will flip sound good?

something ate my new growth?
