I wouldn't flower anything under a foot, but that's just me.

The plant produces a hormone (phytochrome) beginning at germination. When this chemical builds up to a critical level, the plant changes its mode from vegetative growth to flowering. This chemical is destroyed in the presence of even a few moments of light. During the late spring and early summer there are many more hours of light than darkness and the hormone does not build up to a critical level. However, as the days grow shorter and there are longer periods of uninterrupted darkness, the hormone builds to a critical level. Flowering occurs at different times with different varieties as a result of the adaption of the varieties to the environment.

The potency of the plant is related to its maturity rather than Chronological age. Genetically identical 3 month and 6 month-old plants which have mature flowers have the same potency. Starting from seed, a six month old plant flowers slightly faster and fills out more than a 3 month old plant.

Basically, I would say anything over 10 inche is up to you. :thumbsup:

If your plant finishes at 30cm without supercroping it was probably put into flower after veging for two weeks.

Nice post Grim, a weath of knowledge in a few short lines.

Thanks for that info was a great help any more would be cool like how close should my light be etc. grim thanks for your post

YOUR LIGHT SHOULD be as CLOSE as it possibly can without burning your leaves.. a 250watt bulb that is vented properly should be 2-6 inches from the plants..

THIS WILL DIRECTLY EFFECT YOUR BUD SIZE, WEIGHT AND YIELD..
