Should I flip or continue veg

[Hef]

First photo period grow. she will be 8 weeks Thursday from seed. Using Indicanja soil. Haven’t used any nutrients. Should I flip her or continue veg? In a 2x2x5 tent. Should I add a scrog? Probably dumb questions, but I’m a nubie. Thanks for any advice.

imo i would repot to a bigger pot then after about a week i would flip her

I flip when the canopy covers about 60% of the floor, looking down. You might already be a touch over-vegged for me. I'd flip it now.

Judging by the size of the tent I wouldn't wait more than another week or two. You will have about 2 more weeks of growth when you do flip to 12/12 so keep that in mind for you space.

She looks real healthy!

You can defoilate next week, then see how she looks.

I’m probably at 75%. I will flip. Do you use a trellis net?

I cut approx. 20 leaves today To expose grow sites to the light. Been reading posts on defoliate or not. Do or don’t is about 50/50, so I didn’t go extreme on my defoliation.

Looked at your pics and answered my own question.

I do. Typically about 20 inches above the floor. I grow them low and wide.

Remember when u flip the plant ,is going to need nutrients,

In my opinion, a week at a minimum before flipping. You just need to let it get past the shock of it. And your plan looks healthy, so look again in a week and ask yourself "Are you ready for 2 more weeks of explosive growth? Can you fit any more in your tent?"

Do you mind sending a pic of it after the trim?

The pic above is after I clipped 20 leaves today. She was bushy lol!

Do you use any additional nutrients during flower, or just the biobizz?

I do. Typically about 20 inches above the floor. I grow them low and wide.

Do you have any Nutrient recommendations? This grow is just for fun and a gift to friends. Not looking to break the bank on bottles upon bottles of nutrients.

I run Jack's 3-2-1. I'm not paying to ship water. If you want bottled nutes, the GH trio is affordable and widely available.

If you just trimmed today, I’d wait 3-4 days then flip. Just my $0.02 of course. Your tent looks like it’s getting filled up, and when you flip you’re gonna have 1.5-2.5 weeks of more growth (and faster), so both height and width will become more of a concern.

If your tent has negative pressure (most do, where the sides pull into the tent), you’ll develop flattened buds - which isn’t the end of the world, but one side will always be rubbing against the wall so you’ll look some quality and appearance.

Height - you don’t want your plant to grow higher than the light, otherwise those buds won’t develop as good or as fast.

Other than that, your plant looks really healthy!!
