When the nodes start to go alternating, signalling the plant's sexual maturity. Or any time after that, if yo ulike to grow your plant very large.
I like to start at a foot tall, just my preference, stinky is the expert.
do what stink says, but in any event you should get it to a foot or so at least. evn tho itll grow much more during the flowering, a week of extra veg is gonna add a lot to the final yield.
as with everything in the growing process, the longer it lasts and the more time it gets to do its thang, the better (besides picking, dont delay that past its peak :p)
Ok, so about 1 foot.. My plant is 4 1/2 in but it dosnt grow tall. I also forgot to mention that im limited in space. Heres some pictures of my plant.
That's your only plant? Why would you want to start flowering it so early? Mine has like double as many nodes as yours and even shorter than yours but what I am planning on on doing is never flowering it, just keep taking cuttings. You should take atleast one clone imo.
Naw i have six more plants but their berly seedlings...this is my biggest right now.
lol, what is this, a contest? I hope you've determined sex by now.Quote:

My point was mentioning the amount of nodes till flowering time. I just meant that mine is more ready for flowering than his but I'm still not even close to thinking about flowering it.
So do you know the sex yet? Flower one of those clones!
i wouldnt flower it yet, it should be let to grow at least another 4-5 inches. its got no branches yet, so give it some time if you want a good harvest
how do you determine sex while on the vegetive stage?
you cant always, but most strains will show preflowers as they mature. expect to grow another 1/2 foot first
