This is my first time growing indoor thanks to new marijuana laws in Maryland, and I could use some help because sooo much has changed and improved over the last 30 years when it comes to growing indoor and im feeling a little left in the dust!!

So i got my 2x4 tent setup with a nice 300w light from Mars Hydro, and all the fans that i need etc etc.
I put two gallon pots filled with about 70% Canna Coco Coir, 10% Earthworm Castings, and 20% perlite inside after starting my seeds in solo cups for about 2 weeks.

Now i am the biggest cheerleader for plant shaping that there is, and have always pinched and pruned my plants to get the most light; HOWEVER: i am not a very good judge of when exactly to turn the lights to a flower timing because ive never had to really worry about how much space i have and how much they stretch…or even when to start flowering for that matter because that was left up to nature ha ha ha!

I have a really great, flat, green canopy that has been vegging for around 5 or so weeks and i need your help on when to change the lights!!
