many recommend to start flowering when the plant is 1/3-1/2 of the desired final height. dont forget that the plant will get wider too, they need horizontal space, if you want the undergrowth to get any light love.

it also depends on what strain you're growing.
2 months may be too long.
i vegged mine for 2 months and am ending up with a 5 foot plant that takes up the whole closet.

and dont forget, unless you have feminized seeds, you'll be trashing half of them.

good luck!

i am growing 6 afgani and 3 skunks haze, and i started to think i ll get troubles cuz there are differents flower times....anyway i ll not veg more than 5 weeks, i wont a 2 meter height plant, AND i noticed that the skunk grow more tall than the afgani.. so i am in trouble at this point i ll have to top cut them, or the afgani x 6 will get less light

i dont know man... i guess id say start flowering when the skunk are ready, and prop the shorter plants up with some books or bricks or something to give it an even canopy...got a pic of your set up?

I agree prop the shorter ones up, and 2 meters? you want 6 foot plants?

[ojitos1985]

no way lol i dont want a 6 foot plant, i said "i wont", and yea you guys gave me an exelent idea, just put some books on the afgani, shit,,,without this forum i am a mess lol...really thank you guys,,, really thank you...

looking good ojitos!

hows that grow tent working for you?
ive been looking at those recently.

are they light tight?

Looks to me like you can start flowering pretty soon. Maybe in a week. Those are seedlings right? If so they'll stretch more than clones.

Many times you hear people state 6 to 8 week veg for seedlings. I've never been able to veg that long as I would have huge plants.

At any rate flower as soon as you want but remember you should let them get to at least 8 to 10" for any reasonable yield.

I'd flower them the moment they show sexual maturity- alternating nodes.
That's all the space you've got... and they will FILL IT.
I flower plants at 5-6" in one gallon pots and find that 9 per square metre makes for a dense, thick canopy within the first couple weeks of flower, and might even be considered slightly crowded if each plant doesn't keep to a single main lead.
Lookin' good.

Oh- if they are not feminized seeds, you can go another week because you will be removing 4-5 males and ending up with extra space- you don't have to worry about what appears to be intitial crowding, as 5 plants with an extra 2 week of veg time from where you're at right now take up about the same space as the 9 would have.

what sort of yeild do you get with 9 plants in meter sq. and with what light
