Flipping to flower at 30 days

[trustyagut]

Hi, new member here, first indoor run.
I'm interested to know if flipping to flower at 30 days from sprouting is jumping the gun a little bit please. Plants are showing pistils now but yet to see alternating nodes. Plants have now reached the height I was planning to flip them to flower, couple weeks earlier than expected but as it's my first run indoors with new strains, equipment, etc. I was thinking not to go overboard and push anything but rather just gather what works and what doesn't for future runs. Appreciate any feedback.

Welcome to the Farm. Its possible to grow from seed to flower with out leaving 12/12, I normally flower my plants out at four weeks, with out any side effects.

Thank you for the welcome, I always find lots of good information shared in here.
Okay great, I may look to switch very soon then, thanks for the feedback time is just an issue now that's all, so skipping an extra couple weeks in veg would be great if can still pull a modest harvest...providing I get there yet haha.

Could I also please confirm when I do go to flip, how best I go about it, I can see several ways to go about it, either more light or dark, I've opted more dark...Currently my lights are on 18/6. They turn on @6pm and then off the next day @midday. I'd like to change when going 12/12 to On @8am off @8pm. What is the best way to do that, would I let lights turn off at midday for last veg day and then they stay off for 18hrs until 8am the next morning, where they begin their 12/12 schedule? Cheers.

I m running 8 plants in SOG 6L pots in a 90x60x180 (3x2x6) i usually flip to flower 5 weeks after germinating the seeds when the plants are 20 25cm tall and overlap enough to each others, then they could reach 50cm to 1m10 in the end depending strains and phenotypes

How much do you end up with per plant on average? Have any pictures or a grow log I can check out?

15gr to 30gr per plant depending strains and phenotypes wich give 240gr/m² to 480 gr/m² every 16 weeks or so

Very nice grow diaries! Just went through the Northern Lights diary. I'd like to try end up with an oz + each off the two autos atleast and 3oz + for each of the photos if possible...I've got a heap of room for them to branch out

Here's a pic of how they're tracking anyway.

The 2 autos on the front left are Smoothie & Pineapple express.

3 photos are 1 x Godfather OG & 2 x Gushlato#41.

thanks, and yeah the northen light was a really good grow with a good yield.

1 oz per plant is what i get with the best phenos (either photo or auto) but i remove lot of lower branches and bud site as plants are so close to each others

with more space for each plant, and longer veg you'll surely get more from each plant.

Weighing up whether I should keep them in veg for another week before flip just so I can get a decent harvest...if I do I'll need to lst a little more or top them tonight

If it was me,

Id let the lights go off at noon like normal. Then let them stay off until 8am the next day, then come on for 12 hours going back off at 8.

Initial 20 hour dark period then starting 12/12 right where you want it

Cheers, I'll do exactly that

Ended up topping them to try help branches catch up to canopy level. Doesn't look to have slowed them down though so may need to flip very soon

I just jump from 18/6 to 12/12 with no ill effects.

I started a grow log if anyone is interested on an update, cheers.
