The way I see it my cman x okie is acting as a perfect timeline for us to determine our dates.

We will need
1: splash date
2: 1 week window from start date for germ and sprout
3: 2 week seedling timeline depending on dates set above
4: 4 week veg window
5: FLIP DATE

Current timeline for the cman x okie as of today 41 days from splash from previous post that would put me what at the 2 week into veg time window from above? Which would mean I have another 2 weeks ish?, I’ll up pot to my 1 gallon tomorrow and let her veg for a week or till I can clone her and flip her hopefully I can get a clone in the next 2 weeks , below is pics from within that time and one pic from today

Ok folks maybe this will help us decide sprout / seedling / veg times then a flip date

Here’s the Cman x okie since she was put in water, June 1st soaked overnight put into soil June 2nd

4th of July pic was an up pot from 4” pot to 6” pot as well as topped
So from soak to today that’s 40 days so far

Left pic dates attached to easier see each stage and date

IMO June 21st would be end of seedling and start of veg, opinions anyone? That was be 21 days from soak, then veg time currently since then is 20 days of veg, so 3 weeks for sprout and seedling, then switch into veg currently at 21 days, do folks think that’s enough time? Before flipping to flower? I’d throw this girl in a 1 gal pot and toss her in the flower tent but I’m waiting to get a clone off her first then she’s going right in I’ll probably throw her in a Gaia green bucket for a week or 2 to let her stretch out some nodes then she’s movin

to be clear this veg time includes 1 topping at the 6th node I believe (then I strip the bottom node off to make bottom clearance from the soil, just part of my method)

So would that mean 7 weeks from the time we start germinating we will be flipping?

That’s what I’m thinking, looking at this cman I’m sure I could flip at this point but I think a bit more time to stretch will give everyone a nicer plant in the end, just some more time for the lowers to come up

I said the same for about a year while researching. Wish I would have switched sooner

Not an easy question to answer because of all the variables involved between metric and imperial measurements as well as manufacturing design. But someone else posted a chart on this thread that might help answer your question. I will see if I can find it and tag you in response to it.
My American frame of reference is about the same size a paint can, but again lots of variables as height increase, width decreases.
I found that chart:

Unfortunately there aren’t any dimensions due to that whole variable situation.Do you like math?? Lol

It’s crazy easy, don’t let the unknown intimidate you into not experiencing it for yourself! Floraflex nutes half strength when they’re young, just follow the nutrient chart and make small tweaks if needed. Grab yourself a tote, a submersible pump, some 3/4” vinyl tubing, and drippers and you’ll be hitting home runs with an automated watering system lol

Don't worry, I asked publicly in this thread and because of the 1 gallon difference between the US and Europe, we decided 4.5 liters was max we could use.

You bet your a$$ I made sure I could get as much root space as I could!
I need as much help as I can get lol

Oh I got a hydro shop within walkin distance even all the way out her in the backwoods lol, he’s actually got all floraflex gear there, even their propagators and their tall prop domes etc. was considering coco but he’s also got everything to set up DWC, all loose gear (tubing, fittings, 5 gallon buckets, all the hard pipe and pumps etc) , he’s got all the floraflex, Athena, advanced nutrients, 3-4 other brands

Believe me it’s been a struggle to keep my money in my pocket but eventually once everything is set up how I want it my goal would to be one hydro / coco setup and one medium based tent for experimenting
