I’m approaching week 7 on my mango crack photos. They are supposed to reach a max height of 39 inches, right now they are at 10 inches tall. Kind of a stubby plant. Question is, do they look ready to flower. I understand it’s growers preference. Would any of you flower now? Wait a couple more weeks? One of my plants has 12 tops and one only has 4.

Let them grow more to small for flowering

They are looking healthy to me. What size is your space? What’s you light output?
You can start them now or I’d turn the lights to max for one more week and let them get some more weight.

Week 7 from planting? Gotta count first two weeks as seedling. Veg would be more like 5 weeks.

@Spinnemyke , agreed, we need more info on the space you have for flower and your expectations for yield.

Me, I would give them more time. I would want the new growth tips where topped to get at least 3 - 4 nodes and also leveled off.

If you have the space I would give it a little more time.
I have a decent enough grow space. Lights are the cfl’s the max height for these plants is right around 39inches.

I planted them on December 16. I’m counting that day as the start. Lola lie I should be counting a little different. My first grow, so I’ve done a lot of things wrong. Next plants will be a little different.
That makes sense. I’ve been wondering if I was counting wrong. They really don’t look like a week 7 plant to me.
Hey @Spinnemyke
I’d more your lights to about 12 inches to plant canopy and monitor. With CFL need to be closer to the plant, I think without knowing their output wattage, to achieve maximum
The Grow Light Distance Chart For CFLs and T5s
- 20-50-watt CFL grow bulbs: 1-2″ above marijuana plant canopy
- 55-100-watt CFL grow bulbs: 2-4″ above marijuana plant canopy
- 150-250-watt T5 grow lights: 4-10″ above marijuana plant canopy
- 300-watt HO T5 grow lights: 10-16″ above marijuana plant canopy

If you could add some far red and UVA spectrum during flower and try 10-12” from canopy you might be surprised.

About what?
I took a lunch break. Measured my lights. I was about 18” above the canopy. Dropped it to 10”
