First time grower, 6 critical mass :)

These are my plants as of the other day during water change. Looking good!
Going to do another defoliation in about 2 weeks after stretch and let them ride until harvest.

Did you take any clones off those beauties?

I took 1 to see if I could get it to root and it did. It’s sitting in some soil but not in the tent. My girlfriend takes care of that one :slight_smile:

SO, it’s been 2 weeks and a day or 2 since I flipped the lights to 12/12, still no pistils shooting out.
I got in the tent and turned the light off to make sure I didn’t have a light leak that’s keeping me in veg.
Apparently I had a tiny red light (which I had covered but still shined through) that blinks every couple minutes from my hygrometer sensor.
Has this little red light been keeping me in veg?

Did your plants show any per flowers??..:sunglasses::v:

I guess that depends on how bright it is.

Before the flip? No.
I don’t think it’s showing pre flowers even now, not exactly sure what it looks like other than pistils so I’ve been waiting to see pistils

I wouldn’t say it’s extremely bright, but when I was sitting in the tent pitch black, when it’d blink I could KINDA see for that blink of a second.

Your plants may not be sexually mature yet…:sunglasses::v:

So it’s just a waiting game then, I could pretty much just keep the lights 12/12 and they’ll flower when they’re are sexually mature?
About how many weeks of veg average do plants tend to be mature enough to flower?
I vegged for 5 weeks.

I think you’ll be okay then.

Yeah, my plants are very sexually mature by the time I flip them into flowering, tons of preflowers, so as soon as I cut the light schedule, they go crazy. But I veg for 8-12 weeks. My plants usually show preflowers by week 5 or 6 of veg.

Mine normally show sex around week 6…you will be good…remove or cover the offending light better…:sunglasses::v:

@Siksr… I like to go 6 to 8 weeks in veg, mainly because I will TOP & LST. my girls.

@Covertgrower @Hellraiser @Arrow
Thank you guys a lot for the help, it’s much appreciated. I think next time I will veg for at least 6 weeks and not include the week it’s a seedling as “veg” time. Because I vegged for 5 weeks since sprout, so I guess technically only a month of vegging?

Also @Hellraiser am I technically still in veg state then? I saw that you use AN in your journal (which is extremely informative by the way thank you so much) and I started using big bud a week and a half ago, should I ease back on the flowering nutes until I see pistils?
Right now my nutrient solution is MICRO GROW BLOOM ph perfect solution with b-52 and big bud.

You started journal on 6/23, I’d guess the others are into something with maturity. They should be close if not there yet. Get that light in there buttoned up and let her rip

Awesome, the growth has been INSANE since I flipped, I thought it was the “stretch” but now I’m thinking my plants are just killing it and being vigorous. I might have to super crop after about another foot of growth cause it’s grown a little over a foot already since I flipped the lights to 12/12

I start the flowering nutes the day I flip to 12/12 or even a day or 2 before, just keep going with it, the girls will come along.
