are my plants mature enought to flower

[oliwog]

ive got 10 female cinnamon plants these are early maturing from femaleseeds it says on the info for the seeds that you can flower after one week of germination
how can i tell if the plants are big enough to flower yet? they have been germinated for about a week
even tho they are early maturing is there a rough height they should reach or number of nodes so i know they are mature enough
i have put a few pics up for you to see taken today

you don't want to flower for some time i would say. They need to grow during the vegetative stage for some time yet before theyll flower. You can force them to flower by putting them onto 12/12 but your yield won't be great and the quality will probably not be as great. i would wait until theyre a substantial size bigger. If you leave them on 18/6 light hours then the plants will show u when theyre ready to flower. Little pistils will form at the stem and you can determine the sex, your should all be female but check anyways as you can sometime get a hemaphrodite plant and that could take ur whole crop down. Be patient with it, enjoy growing it and you'll get an amazing end result, if your not patient with it then your end product will reflect the way you grew it. Your plants are looking healthy so look after them and they'll reward you lol. Good job dude.

dude what kind of light are they under? they startin to looky a bit stretched but hell no man wait for like another 2-3 months and get them a decent size b4 you flower i know its a long time to wait but it will be more of a payoff then flowering them at that age... if you flower them now you have a very high chance of most of them turnin out hermie..

yea i see wot ya sayin peps im usin two 125 w envirolights i only got em a few inches from the light how an i stop the strecthin
i know regular plants you should leave but these seeds clearly state that they can be flowered on 12/12 after one week of germination ive done an exact copy of the info that comes with the seeds:

For Sativa lovers, we chose one with a cinnamon smell and exceptional buzz. This is based on a rare Jack Herer phenotype and can be put under 12/12 hours after one week. Maximum yields indoors are possible, by putting the best flowering individuals together (6-7 out of 10). Please note they do reach height! (approx. 1.5m). Perfect performance outdoors amongst orange or olive trees. 90% Sativa.
Flowering time: 9 weeks (90%)
Harvest outdoors: Mid October (Mediterranean)
Yield: Medium - maximum

95% tamed Sativa

10 seeds


outdoor
indoor
recommended indoor

as you can see they are early maturing
with normal plants i would leave for at least a month or two but as you can see it says you can flower after one week in veg from germination
bit confusin init really
also anyone know what they mean by putting the best flwering females together i dont get it they are together anyway

[stinkyattic]

I don't see that those are early maturing. They look like seedlings to me.

You have to wait until the nodes go opposite.

1 week of veg time is for clones in SOG, not plants from seed. If you flower those right now they aren't even going to show sex for a WHILE. Plus giving young plants too much red light too early can influence sex exression.

[oliwog]

ok cheers stinkyattic but i got em under a blue lumen light at the mo what do ya mean by sex expression

[stinkyattic]

Blue is good.
Sex predisposition is in RNA but final expression can be influenced by things like color of the light, moisture,nutes, etc.
If you want the highest possible % of females with the genes your seeds carried, you keep them under the blue spectrum light.

[dusto2k3]

dude, they are probably good for early germ. if they are grown under a HPS or MH from the get go. Floros are slower

[greenmonster]

dont flower yet.... wait until u have 5 nodes at least and if possible some nice secondaries forming. How much light r u going to use for flower? If 250W like u have vegged with then u might need some more watts to cover 10 plants well.

[greenmonster]

wow big plants for those small pots. nice going. r they not rootbound??
