Please help!

It all really comes down to your grow area and equipment right? If you have the space and gear to properly light a 2 month monster then why not? If your area is small then obviously flower small.

It depends on your objectives. Shorter veg = quicker to flower = more runs per year = greater total yield per year. If you can throw a veg tent into the mix then you can increase harvests per year even further.

If anyone one out there could help please do. I haver 2 indica strains growing under 7 flouro bulbs all diff types, 4 hanging vertiaclly in a squre pattern in my closet and 3 hangin over top that have lots of room to adjust. My plants look pretty good considering this is only my 2nd time growing one of them is 20 inch tall its my profile pic and the other is 16in. Tall becuz I topped it at 7in they are both about a week from being 2 months old. I hv done extinuating research for about a year and a half . I hd a acidic problem(over-fert) but I'm pretty sure I'm getting it under control(flushing, adding pulverized lime and eggshells added today). I harvest 3 very small weak plants last year. And they actually turned out to be good smoke. My question that is still bothering me is when to flower? I know I can anytime obvioulsy. I've been waiting until I got my ph back up. Can any one give me some good advice as to know when is primetime and if I've waited to long????

There are many different practices out there as to how to complete the plant cycle from start to finish. Here is my "basic" plant cycle for your entertainment.

1st Sunday: Cut clones from veg plants using the healthiest lower branches.
2nd Sunday: Harvest Bud Room / Move veg plants over to bud room.
3rd Sunday: Take rooted clones and plant them in preferred containers.
4th thru 7th Sundays: General maintenance and lots of TLC.
8th Sunday: Start cycle over. (See 1st Sunday)

This is as non-detailed as possible to save any confusion. There are many different factors that can change the time line, but this is just a general example of what I do for my plant cycles. I'm quite happy with the results of this practice, but that's what works for me. If anyone else would like to share their method for their plant cycles, that would be great!

Nice post. That's the schedule you want to aim for - harvest every 2 months. This will give you the most yield over the course of a year.

Yeah go ahead and flower once they heal. I think you are wasting some light with that vertical side light. Maybe turn it horizontally until the plants are tall enough to make use of the entire length of the tube. A few more fluoros and cfl's (2700K color) for flowering won't hurt either. :twocents:

Happy growing :jointsmile:

Bigsby,

Ya but I prefer to grow bigger and have time in between. I dont like being bound to my grow and having to do all the work ALL the time.

So yes, I agree with you it depends on your objectives.

Cfl's?

Compact fluorescent light (energy saving bulbs)

ditto that ...you need a lot more light to flower .if you are going to keep using flours look into the" screen of green "[scrog]style of growing to harvest good buds.
