Time to flower?

[Ayyxbleezy]

I have been in the veg stage for about 40 days and im going to start flowering tomorrow i am just wondering if you guys thought it was time?

Looks good to me fella. Go for your life. You can keep these plants in a veg state for up to 12 years. How big do you want to get them before flowering ?

They look very good. looking forward to seeing your buds :)

[moody420]

really depends on how big you want them and the size of your grow space. They look good and healthy! :thumbsup: I top my indoor grow at 12-16" and start the flower cycle....but you can get them as big as you want....good luck! :jointsmile:

It also depends on your lighting and headroom available.

[Ayyxbleezy]

ok sweet.
my bad i am actually been veg-ing for 30 days not 40 and it is just over 10 inches and i have just under 4 feet of space. i was thinking about waiting for it to get to a foot tall butt im getting anxious :)

its some afghan kush, and ive herd that in the flowering stage the plant grows 2x to 3x its size.. correct?

the last plant i had was an auto-flowering so its a little different this time.

Sounds about right with the stretch part...

Personally, if that is your only plant, and you have enough lighting, you could do some LST and veg it a little more, maybe a couple weeks. The plant will stay lower and have many tops. First link in my sig is an example.

Depends on you though, if you can't get weed otherwise, then do what ya gotta do :jointsmile:

[Ayyxbleezy]

thanks topsfinn, i might give it a try.
on your first link what was the average yield and what was like the average height of your plants?

[bigtopsfinn]

Just one plant, vegged for about 4-5 weeks and flowered for 8+. It was about 2ft. tall, maybe closer to 3 ft. from the top of the soil, give or take, but I started to flower it when the tallest top was about 8 in. above the soil.

Yield was about 60 grams dry weight.

i'm shocked nobody asked if its seed or clone? and if it is showing preflowers?

[Mississippi Steve]

I normally put mine into flower 60 - 62 days from the day I plant the seeds. I do run CFL lighting... 18/6 for veg, and 12/12 for flower. I usually run about 4 1/2 months from seed to harvest. I have been getting a yield of close to 3/4 pound per plant.


I never got clones to work, so your on your own there.

[Ayyxbleezy]

(busybee) its a seed.
(mississippi steve) how many cfls do you run and how tall do your plants usually get?

thanks alot

10 23W CFLs for veg, and when in flower, add 12 48" 2 tube T12 flouros.

good luck!

Hey MissSteve do you mean 3/4 of an ounce per plant? That's no 12 ounce yield plant in the pic! Why not go HID if your burning 1300 watts anyways?

one cola was an ounce and a quarter by itself. I got 7 cure jars with 48 - 50 grams of dried, manicured bud in each jar from 1 plant. those plants are in 5 gallon buckets. there were 4 main colas that were LSTed, otherwise they would be over 5ft tall

As far as the lights, only the CFS are run while in veg....thats only 230 watts. the side lights don't come on until I put them into flower. Besides, with the CFS and flouros, I don't have the heat issues that HPS or HID have.

Nice work. Not hatin on you, just curious! I like the super twist you've got mastered, that plant is a freak.http://boards.cannabis.com/images/smilies/rasta.gif

Thats the way all my plants come out. when I did sensimillia, the trees were over 7ft tall, Arjans Ultra Haze #1 were LSTed and still 5ft tall. They just seem to get really big for me. I grow my ladies using the same methods I use for my roses. It seems to work pretty well.
