Is it too soon to start flowering in the next 2 weeks?

[BigMoistDaddy]

I was thinking about starting to flower After vegging for only one month plus 1 month of seedling. Im thinking pf switching light cycle around july 1-7. Especially since I have four plants growing in a 3‘ x 3‘ tent.

what medium you growing in, what kind are the plants?
and did you just transplant?

I transplanted them June 1st. I’m using the same soil everyone uses aka the fox farm. I’m growing regular female white widow plants

ok, they just seem a bit stunted?, with big fat leaves that have a slightly blotted look? both could be from your watering techniques, could be other reasons too..
but they don’t seem to be suffering from anything.. if you switch them soon as is, they shouldn’t really get much bigger during the flowering stage..

also depending on yours lights..
a more blue spectrum light will keep plants from stretching as compared to a more red spectrum light, so if you want you can use a more blue spectrum light during the first 5-10 days of 12/12

I believe It was my old water habit of doing it a lil bit everyday that stunted it also topping Prob didn’t help either. Now I just do about half a gallon every three days for each plant. They been growing faster now.. but I have an SF 1000 and a Mars Hydro 1000 and I have two more of each that I was waiting to put in till flowering since that woul be over kill for just veging. I’m thinking I should start to trim some extra leaves off soon

if you are noticing better/wider/taller growth than give them a few days of healthy growing than you can remove a few big leaves from each plant and if they are growing good than they may stretch more than if not so “healthy”

just remember more blue spectrum light for vegging and more red spectrum light for flowering.,

I think I want another foot on my plants. Also My lights are all full spectrum.

I'd flip last week.

I'd flip last week.

Are you saying I should’ve already switched to flower?

 

[Shaded_One]

You can run 12/12 straight from seed if you want to. You can switch to flower at any time. Longer veg typically means larger plants/higher yield.

Honestly all I’m worried about is being able to fit all four plants in this tiny tent

Don't forget the stretch! You will get bigger in flower.

Looks like you might have an issue at the roots perhaps over watering or humidity is too high and its not evaporating perhaps over fertilizing but all these factors could be resulting to a stunted growth I'd also lolipop to focus the growth where you want consider lowering lights and raising temps in your tent to help metabolic rates and growth also would help the plant use more water so the roots won't be drenched and help get air to your roots

Yeah I was definitely overwatering my indoor plants cause My outdoor plants that I started two weeks later then my indoor are already the same size as my indoor ones. I correctEd in my watering habits a week ago after noticing the huge size difference

 

[AlfaDog]

Yes but one factor that is a huge difference between sunlight and leds and that'd the lack of infrared and for the plant's to have the same metabolic rate which you are lacking very much increase room temps and perhaps lower lights to get a leaf surface temp of 86.5f min this will also help stomata function and your plants will grow and plants will drink and to an extent sweat so your plants overall functions will be working I'm telling you bring up canopy temps and if you don't have infrared gun bring ambient room temps to around 84-85

 

[Brownthumb]

Early flip will keep ‘em smaller…..

 

[sakemoon420]

I'd wait a minimum of a week with further LST. Keep the canopy as even as possible. Keep working out the issues that you addressed in the comments. But I wouldn't go no more than 2 weeks based off of the space.

Case and point: I had 3 plants in a 2×4, vegged for 6 weeks, and flipped June 1st. Last week I had to get rid of one due to space restrictions. So be mindful that they'll double at minimum in your tent.

Just did some trimming before flowering
