when should these go into flower?

[Kronic Budz]

Sensi Star and Snow Cap started as clones at 4 and 5". Now they are at day 42 in soil and are 13.5 and 9.5 inches tall. I no that they are stretched but for the past week i have been keeping them more compact and can see great growth so far. I plan on adding more light to my room in acouple days and especially for flowering.

From the way they both look right now, how much longer do u think these girls need untill i put them to 12/12. I have them on a timer at 18/6 but i wanted to set them on 20/4 for mabey the next week and really get those inner leaves up to the size as some of the smaller ones.

Do u guys think these 3 gallon pots are adequate for having plants no more then 3 feet tall after harvest?

Are my plants to lanky to go into flowering and just get to tall and fall over or will they grow huskier and thicker?

Any advice would help me out alot.


SETUP:
-2' 20 watt flourescent tubes(warm and bright white, right over plants)
-3 more clfs around plants and plan on adding acouple more.
-temps:65*-80*
-Eb stone bat guano organic tea (9-2-1)
-fan blowing on plants
-45% - 65% humidity
-slightly acidic water/soil


Any info that i didnt provide that is needed can just be asked about.

Looks like they are growin well to me KB. If your looking for three foot plants, you might be able to let them go a little more, but if you got one that is 13.5 that sucker could shoot up to 3 feet on ya. As far as the three gallon pots, you wanna have about a gallon of dirt for every foot, so I think you´ll be okay with that. The only advice I would give you is to get some more lumens on those babies. Your yield is going to depend alot on the amount of light you have on them. welcome to the forum and hope to see your girls all grown up!

You should get a lil wind goin on em too... when u get fat colas the plant wants to be nice n thick stemmed =)

yea i have always kept a fan going in the grow room facing upward and so some wind hits the plants but mostly to circulate air. Should i make it so it looks like the leaves could blow off. i just dont want to hurt my girls.


noah

i would blow the fan on them they will get really stong if you do that.
Plus if you can afford it get a HPS light and they will grow bigger faster and you will get more yeild!

My Sensi Star looked exactly like yours in your pic. Sensi Star will really fill out. When it does...... flip her.

Rad, I would get an HPS light if i talked to my mom about having the bill go so high but i think that what im using right now she cant seem to notice.... I will definitely put the fan harder on them now.

Stunzeed- Thats cool to hear that my sensi star doesnt look abnormal. How much did u yield off of her, im trying to keep it around 3' max.

If you get a 400w HPS i dont think it will use alot more juice than what your using now.

The only thing i would worry about with HPS is temps they seem quite high now and they will proberly get higher with HPS!

Im not very experienced so take my advice with a pinch of salt and listen more to the pros.

Good Luck!

P.S plants look awsome bro.
