First photo period grow. she will be 8 weeks Thursday from seed. Using Indicanja soil. Haven’t used any nutrients. Should I flip her or continue veg? In a 2x2x5 tent. Should I add a scrog? Probably dumb questions, but I’m a nubie. Thanks for any advice.

I flip when the canopy covers about 60% of the floor, looking down. You might already be a touch over-vegged for me. I'd flip it now.

Judging by the size of the tent I wouldn't wait more than another week or two. You will have about 2 more weeks of growth when you do flip to 12/12 so keep that in mind for you space.

She looks real healthy!

I’m probably at 75%. I will flip. Do you use a trellis net?

I cut approx. 20 leaves today To expose grow sites to the light. Been reading posts on defoliate or not. Do or don’t is about 50/50, so I didn’t go extreme on my defoliation.

I do. Typically about 20 inches above the floor. I grow them low and wide.

In my opinion, a week at a minimum before flipping. You just need to let it get past the shock of it. And your plan looks healthy, so look again in a week and ask yourself "Are you ready for 2 more weeks of explosive growth? Can you fit any more in your tent?"

Do you mind sending a pic of it after the trim?

Do you use any additional nutrients during flower, or just the biobizz?

Do you have any Nutrient recommendations? This grow is just for fun and a gift to friends. Not looking to break the bank on bottles upon bottles of nutrients.

I run Jack's 3-2-1. I'm not paying to ship water. If you want bottled nutes, the GH trio is affordable and widely available.

If you just trimmed today, I’d wait 3-4 days then flip. Just my $0.02 of course. Your tent looks like it’s getting filled up, and when you flip you’re gonna have 1.5-2.5 weeks of more growth (and faster), so both height and width will become more of a concern.

If your tent has negative pressure (most do, where the sides pull into the tent), you’ll develop flattened buds - which isn’t the end of the world, but one side will always be rubbing against the wall so you’ll look some quality and appearance.

Height - you don’t want your plant to grow higher than the light, otherwise those buds won’t develop as good or as fast.

Other than that, your plant looks really healthy!!
