Ideally you don't make any changes for a week after transplanting. This has more to do with stress than root development. But you need to flip them to 12/12 so go ahead. They are going to over run your closet as it is!

Again, wait a week or two. Let them settle in to their new environment. Ideally you'd like to see flower development before you start the bloom nutes.

They look great. You should be pleased!

If worse comes to worse, I suppose I could ditch a plant or three to make room.
You can continue to tie them during stretch in flower. They should be done growing in a few weeks. You many need to get rid of a few. You're problem is not going to be height so much as it will be the bushiness that's going to develop in there. They will get very crowded. Consider pruning lower branches. They will not get much light anyway, they draw energy away from budding flowers, and they take up space. Also, be sure that your plants don't end up touching the florescent tubes. They will damage the leaves.
bigsby Reviewed by bigsby on . First timer, doing ok- switch to HPS from t5 for flower? Hey guys/gals... long time reader, first time poster. I've been around the interweb quite a bit trying to figure out if my lighting is adequate for flowering, and I'm coming up a little short. I started growing bagseed the 1st week of September, no idea what strain or species. Started in the garage with halogen work lights until they started to lose color and thus my new hobby began... reading, learning, patience, etc... The first thing I did was buy some t12 lights from a big box store Rating: 5
