Hi,

i've grown mostly autoflowers in the past and i wonder for how long will my photoperiodic plant continue to grow in height after 12/12 switch? I think they're both himalaya gold

Sorry for the over-exposed photo but it's currently pretty dark outside..

21 days. Stretching from 1x to 2.5x

Thanks for the reply, i'll switch it to 12/12 in a week or so, what if the smaller plant isn't ready to flower yet and i switch it anyway? Will she just be in veg stage until she can start flowering?

I've flipped successfully as early as day 14 from clone transplant. I've experienced diminishing returns from both being early (12 days) to veg for too long (4 weeks) the sweet spot for me in my tents is 18 days to maybe 21 days of veg. 14 minimum. Smaller more compact plants are better. Stretched plants do yield ok. But a smaller plant is easier to trim. Same yield if the get enough canopy. In a tent you want to flip as soon as that plant looks structured and ready. Height isn't desirable. They're plants not eligible bachelors. In a tent the 3 foot plant is king.

Good to know, i'd flip them in like a week from now because of the smaller plant but they both started growing like crazy yesterday, so i better flip them tonight.. My panel was only in growth mode which is around 50% blue and 50% red, if i turn the bloom stage tomorrow it'll be like 80% red which can cause stretching, right? So should i keep my led panel in growth mode for a few more days until i see flowers?

I just turn LED on at full power once the plants are big enough.

Depend on genetics. Could be two weeks- could be two months. Most hybrids are about 3 weeks. I'd bend that tall one or raise the little one.
