If they are autos, they will start on their own. If photos, they will start when you change lights to 12/12.
They look old enough to me.

They are photos. I waited so long last grow my plants were like 3 feet before i switched so cant let that happen again lol.
Ill get the new setup ready and split up this week. Do you trim anything at this point or wait till after transition and into flower?
Yall rock and i appreciate the guidance!! My grow this time is showing all the information has helped me tremendously!!!

You might want to get a couple of the lower leaves. Just a few.
Like @Nicky said, if height is a problem, you might want to consider flipping the lights as soon as possible.

Is it ok to use GH trio and add AN Big Bud? Saw some words on not mixing brands but that could be a bunch of crap.
Or is there a different product equivelant/similar to throw in as I go into flowering?

Wish I could help you out but I’m not familiar with the AN products. I’m sure they’ll be along shortly.

Wow, a lot to catch up on here. First yes. You can mix them. I use the AN bud ignitor, Big bud and Overdrive with my GH. If those were mine, being you are in hydro. Similar to coco and auto pots. They will probably stretch more than you expect. Or mine always do. This is what I get from photos pretty much.
If I flip at week 4 like here. This is the end of week 4. The top left. Just to give you an idea. Some stretch more. Very few less for me.
This is about the size they finish their stretch at
For me. At your size. I would only be feeding about 650ppm. That is with RO water at 12ppm, 2.5ml of cal mag per gal. And 1.25ml of Silica per gal. So basically. I feed at half strength for veg. I go to 3/4 for transition and 3/4 - full for flower. I let the plant tell me what it wants. I feed mine on the lighter side as to the heavy side. A few years of watching run off numbers helps me to know how much to feed in the autopots.

The plant shown above, did you get a lot of product from that? it looks like a smaller plant but also hard for me to tell…
Its seems like I need to get on the flowering! I am going to order Big Bud. Should i get overdrive too?
ppm were around 550 but the plants have been soaking up more! 
I will up the nutrients for transition.
Thanks!

That was just under 6 oz dry. This is it at the last week. I like the overdrive. It seems to make the buds a little firmer. It is not a must have. I use the big bud and over drive when using Jacks. And all 3 for GH. A lot depends if I am top feeding or if most of the plants are feeding the same in the auto pots. This one here was on Jacks and only got bud ignitor and big bud coco

Here we are split up into 2 trays. Changed res in older one and did new water/nutrients for other. The pH in the established one stays around 5.8-6.2 slowly varying. The new setup keeps jumping up higher to 6.5 so have to use pH down more. Not understanding why…did nutrients as normal. But they seem to be looking ok. One of the plants broke taped back up and still seems to be thriving. Will switch to flowering this week likely. The valley kush is growing so much slower.

Thank you.
At night the plants look droopy…like the whole plants almost look wilted and I water and to bed.
Ok in the am.
Is that anything to worry about? Struggling with. Temp and humidity. Hum. Around 45 and temp in higher 70s
And I’ve trimmed some lower larger leaves. Do they look to have too much, should I trim or continue like this?

Last pic I see a few “lost leaves” in the darkness below. I’d cut em off promote more upward new growth.

Try to get your temp up to 79 or so if possible they thrive around there.
The plants will droop, they have memory of when darkness is as well as feed times.
Low leaves can be trimmed yes.
Here is a good video

No need to worry about plants looking droopy close to lights out. It’s natural for them to droop some. As long as they don’t stay that way the next day.

Thank you that video was good @Nicky
I trimmed away!
Looks like it will be more exposed to light and growth hopefully!

Those are looking great. Mine always look sad at the end of the night. They are back to looking alive by morning. I have to agree with @Nicky my plants really showed how much they were not happy under about 78 in this grow. I do best in the low 80s range my self.

Temp and humidity is so dang hard these days!!
I noticed some changing to the tips of a few leaves. Anything to worry about at this point?
I did do more cal mag this round but otherwise same nutrient mix as previously.

That just a slight touch of nute burn looks like. I’m in the same boat right now with mine. Just back off the nute a little. It’ll be ok.

I’m at the stage of transitioning to flowering and from the charts nutrients would be increased? How do you handle that at this point?
