When to flip

These are now 25 days from sprout. I am growing in a 3x3x6 with one 240watt qb288 and a 145watt blurple. Two are the plants are much farther ahead then the other two. Reason I have 4 is being this is my first grow and I didn’t expect a perfect 4/4 germination. I’m not too concerned if I get rid of the two smaller ones if they get choked out. How much longer am I looking to veg these before tent size will become an issue?

Looks like you got a little depending on growth rate but IMO looks ready, at least close, for a net if that’s what your doing.

that’s what I’d do. It would let that smaller one in back catch up and fill the screenand keep you short. Remember general rule is size doubles after flip

Either way, there’s ways to train them down a bit when needed but just be mindful of height so when the plant doubles it’s height you’ll have enough distance from lights

ok thanks for the info. I topped one of the bigger ones twice 3 days ago so I will give it another week before flip

Ya lots of ways. Just watch your size before flip. 6ft to work with but not really. Your light takes space hanging, then say a foot and a half maybe between light and colas. Already down to say 3 or 4 feet so 24” tall max at flip

3 bigger plants are blue dream and that small one will just not grow at all. From what I’ve read blue dream likes to stretch. Should I flip these now to avoid over crowding?

It's hard to gauge the stretch if you are growing plants from seed. I'd let the smaller plants hit the screen first before flipping, personally.
