10 weeks in veg??

[1TA2DLADY]

I have 14 plants in 3 gal. pots, MH and HPS lighting (plenty!), room temp averages 75 - 78 degrees, humidity averages about 55-60%, feeding some nutes higher in N every 4 days with plain water every other feeding (2 days). Plants are now in week 13. They started out VERY spindly and it was recommended by several respondants that I toss the lot of them and start over, but I couldn't bring myself to do it! 8 of them are White Widow, rest are bag seeds. Plants now average about 3' tall, some are about 4', some only 2', and are still sprouting plenty of new growth every day! I'm just wondering when I should change to 12/12, currently on 24/0. Only 4 of them have exhibited sex so far - FEMALE!! Also, on a couple of the plants, a few of the lower leaves are starting to turn yellow and fall off. Is this normal?? Should I increase nutes?? If so, specifically which ones............? This is my first grow and I don't want to blow it now!! Please help.......................!

You can switch it to 12/12 anytime now.

what kinda lighting are you using

[UnitedParcelSecrets]

Nitrogen if anything for adding nutes, but you really should test the pH of your runoff water before you do that. If it's outside the 6-6.5 range, you should alter it to match that, and it'll fee up some of the nutes that you've already got in there. The other reason for yellowing is that it's not getting light to them, and if that's the case you might want to try tying it down to expose those ones to more light. Good luck! Oh, and you can defintely switch to 12/12 now.

yea id make the wsitch to 12/12 soon too. the lower ones are probobly yellowing due to lack of light. that should matter though because your going to end up cuting some of that lower growth before you put it into flowering. id also use those cuting for clones but thats just me maybe bcause i dont have a ready supply of seeds but i can get plenty of diffrent types of clones

Why did you veg so long? I woulld transplant into 5 gall bucket I put my babies in 12/12 at 24" and gain abother foot or more. Those babies are good to go. At 12" they should be ready. How much space and lighting do you have?
