From Veg to Flower stage....when do you know?

[scottcc5s]

I am 6 weeks into my first grow, I have a mix of different flavor of plants. My question is when do you know you have hit flowering stage? Is it a time thing/height thing/other??

Any insight will be appreciated.

IF...you have a good root pattern in a 4-8 inch pot and the plant is in the 12-15 inch tall range?...I switch to 12/12 light cycle and wait for the sex to show. I toss the males and transplant the females to 10 inch pots...:thumbsup:

(my White Widows show their sex after 28 days of veg...(usually)...this saves me a lot of time....)

ps...if you got weak lighting?...forget this message

Just another benifit of working with a fast flowering strain.:thumbsup:

Depends on how big of a plant do you want at the end. Most strains double in height when put into flower. So if you put a veg'ing plant into flower that is 15 inches tall you should end up with something around 30 inches at the finish. If you top the plants in veg that I have grow the stretch is about thirty percent. So a 30 inch topped plant going into flower should be about 40 inches or so at the finish. Most clones are ready at 10-12 inches, from seed 12-14 inches for a minimum height to get some decent bud but you will not have very big yield per plant.

If you have searched photos of the sex signs of female and male cannabis plants and still cannot determine what sex your plants are. Put them into an 18/6 cycle, giving them darkness will encourage females to bloom and males will show them selves clearly.

Thanks for feedback I am newbe so all info is a big help to me. Little more info and pics of what I have.

1: Right now I would say lighting is average to poor (flourecent) going with 8 plants and right now 16/8. BUT I do have two 90W LED UFO on there way to me and will have seperate flower room.

2: Bought my seeds from "Attitude", good company to deal with and I feel good I have female. If you think I need to check them let me know and if you can put link to pics on how to tell male/female that would help me.

3: For what its worth the pic on left is Kiwi Seeds-"South Star". Pic in middle is Green House - "Super Lemon Haze". Pic on right is Seedism "The Gaffa"

4: Again these seeds planted on Sept 5th....time to put in bigger pots???

Thanks again for any insight
