I posted this on my grow log (http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-growing/187223-4-plant-first-grow-grow-log-white-ruski.html) but im looking for an answer ASAP, so i figured id start a new thread. anyway:

In 12 days my plants will be 2 months old, there are 3 of them that are 3 feet high, and the one thats doing really bad is 2 feet high. here are some pictures:

http://i28.tinypic.com/rhlb4l.jpg(Topped plant, that looks like its going to have 4 tops)
http://i25.tinypic.com/aox1fo.jpg(A normal topped plant with 2 tops)
http://i25.tinypic.com/4qlaba.jpg(3 Feet)

So, my question is when should I begin flowering? The nodes are not alternating yet, but they are 3 feet high! and I read that they double in height in flowering. I've planned to do it at the 2 month mark, but should I just start flowering now?

Yes I would flower now , they are getting real tall . How tall is your grow space ? Plus dude remember you got another 8 -12 weeks when you start flowering so the earlier you flower the faster you get your smokey smoke. Also , I know they always say they double in height, but that is simply not the case in my experience . If they are 3ft now, they will probably get to 4.5 ft tall at finish. They look really healthy btw ... good job !

Okay, a few more inputs would be highly appreciated. I probably will start flowering tonight. What nutes do i need to use during flowering?

Thats why I put a link to my grow log. But they are being grown in soil. they have been vegging for 6 and a half weeks now under a 400w MH. I started to flower so I changed it to a 400w HPS.

As for nutes, I have been using Fox Farms"Grow Big" and "Big Bloom". And I am also using "Humboldt Nutrients Honey Hydro Carbs" along with a liquid vitimin B-1.

Also, what are the best nutes to use during flowering? I was thinking the Fox Farm set with the Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching.

Thes are the only 2 products i use for flowering (exept from 1 shot of epson salts at around week 4 of flowering. Mixed at 1/2 teaspoon per 4 liters of water and only fed once throughout the whole grow). but i am still searching for the feeding guide as what is printed on the bottles its not correct and has been confirmed by the suppliers themselves.
100% dutch organic nutes.

:jointsmile:Whats up?

Yes flower.

You can use big bloom + tiger bloom and also the soluable trio( sesame,beastie, cha). Ive just got my soluables and am excited to try them. From what ive seen they make a difference. Check the fox farm feeding chart for specific feeding info.

Also ive never used the humbolt carbs but i thought it was for mid-late flowering not veg. Im probably wrong though...

You dont have to wait for nodes to be alternating to flower.
