Yea that's what I was thinking thanks...Only my 2 bits but when you flip they will stretch a bit more which may be just right to fit your screen .
So as plants near the stage where they are about to flower plant hormones (cytokinins, auxins) move upward to the shoot tips, so trimming the bottom actually promotes this. The only real issue as I see it is sometimes taking clones off youngish plants can be hard to root, and easier to rot because they tend to be succulent as opposed to semi woody/woody and they require high humidity. The question is how tall are they, because the look squat, I flower at around 16-18 inches minimum. You can flower smaller but it does impact the yield doing it, if they are too young. You said eight weeks? That should be good, just about perfect, if everything is healthy. I usually allow the plant to determine, if it's roots are shooting through the drainage holes, it's time to transplant into the final containers, and turn back the lights, they will spend 7 to 10 days to "set up" and grow into the pots, go through an initial burst of upward and outward growth, and show sex, I then count the days until harvest from there.So do I wait a few days or go right to 12/12

Man I'm right there with you baked all day everyday and start reading and reading lol fucks me all up so many people do things differently! 1 person would say one thing and another say the opposite haha then I'm like ahh did I read that right and re read lol never endsAnother bit of advice? Wait until the initial burst of growth occurs, then trim up the bottom 1/3 of your plants if you're using LED's and 1/4 if you're using HID's (just for reference). Then root those bottom branches, they are now nice and semi-woody and firm and should root in 14-21 days under a humidome on a heat mat at 76-79 degrees. Sorry, high and bored and I've been doing it so long. The reality is there are hundreds of ways to grow, but certain variables are constants, like Ph, EC (nutrient strength), quantity and quality of light, a decent medium, co2 temperature, and in my opinion only, the game is to take best advantage of those constants so that the only limitation to growth is genetic. Another thing I keep in the forefront of my planning is the axiom as the complexity of a system increases the meantime between breakdowns decreases proportionally. You're shooting for consistency Trust me it works...it's the reason for these rambling posts, I'm baked on my shit lol.
Those are looking awesomeMy babies are growing up! Thought I'd post a lil update. :) Jillybean and Brian Berry are killing it! Dropped the t5 down to about 8" away, basically covering one tray or 8 plants, so I'm rotating the trays daily so they can all rejoice in the light lol.. look like they are reaching for their mama or giving a peace sign :)
Not a big deal dude.. the important thing is: total darkness! It's the complete dark they want to flowerSo now if I switch to a 12/12 should I start the 12 hour cycle from when lights turn off or start the 12/12 once the lights turn on?
Also I am going to be using the fox farm tiger bloom and big bloom for nutrients not sure if anyone on here uses this stuff but I have heard good things with these 2 working together.. Should I start adding nutrients before I start the 12/12 or start after I switched? Although they have only been in these pots for 2 weeks so is the soil still good for another 2 weeks in flower like is is for vegative stage?
Sorry for all these questions I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple more! Just stoned and keep reading everyone going back and fourth on which way to do it kinda just want a straight simple answer I'm not trying to do anything fancy just trying to do it right and finish my first GROW!!! Thanks guys
