When should I start flowering??

[LaffyTaffyBP T]

I've had a few posts in the past about my 1st grow - I think all the help has really worked. My plant is about 12" tall (maybe a little taller). I'm growing in a closet where my plant can be about 3' tall at the max. I've heard that plants double or triple in size during flowering and I'm wondering if I should change to 12/12 in order to induce flowering or if I should let these guys go a little longer to maximize production. Pictures attached, comments and advice very very WELCOME!! :rasta: :rasta: :rasta: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Now's a good time to flower.

You can flower now, but remeber, less vegg time-less yeilds.

I started flowering a dom. sativa strain about 3 weeks ago, and it was maybe 10inches in height when I switched, well the bugger is almost 3ft in height now! It went crazy and I had to extend my grow space another 1.5ft.

So yes, you can flower now.

NOW!!

What kind of light are you using? If your'e not using 1000watts, it makes no sense to grow them any bigger...

Your plants look GREAT!!

They started their 12/12 cycle this morning at 9 a.m. with 12 hours of darkness. I'm using a 400w MH bulb - any recommendation on blooming nutes? I've been using PureBlend Pro for Growing by recommendation from local hydro shop. Thanks for the compliment, I think they're looking good too!

My new plan now that I'm on 12/12 is to water the plants at/near the beginning of the 12 hours of light. Is there any pro's/con's to watering at certain times when there is light or when there is no light? I'd like to leave the plants undisturbed throughout the 12 hours of darkness, hence watering them at the beginning of their light period. Also, I'm watering the first few days with normal water, and switching to bloom here in a few days. Do watering trends change during the flowering period (due to growth, etc..)?

thanks again, this has been a fun and successful first grow for me, mostly thanks to this website and those who've helped - you know who you are!

get the pure blend bloom formula, i use it, and its amazing. I guess all the hydroshop owners like this stuff cause its what told me to use aswell.

Hey, do the nodes need to start alternating before he starts to flower???
