The way I look at it is root ball perspective to feed the buds your looking to get. For me would be to early i like a good 6 week veg minimum and not 6 weeks from germination, I also mainline and top so adds some time to veg

I want my flower space filled with buds. I flip when my plants cover 50% of my flowering footprint, so it's a function of plant count. I train wide and low.

If you're going to flower in that space, I'd wait 2-3 weeks to flip, assuming an average growth rate. Looking down at them from directly above, I want half of the tent floor to be covered by green.

I understand what you are saying, but I just want to get through this 1st time and see some weed lol 😆 If I flip will I get an oz or 2 from each plant possibly?

I agree looks like you've got a good bit of room in there let it ride another 2 weeks.

In soil with ambient CO2, my rule of thumb is one ounce dried per square foot of flower canopy, for an average grower and average genetics, whatever that means. Let's also assume that your plants will double in size after flip. My irresponsible wild-ass guess is you'd be somewhere between one and two ounces dried if you flipped today. Four to six times as much if you veg until you have half the footprint filled.

If you flipped today, you'd have to wait 8 t0 10 weeks before you could harvest. What's another few weeks? The longer the vegetation time, the more weed you'll get. It's nice to get enough to last till the next harvest, which can be 3 or 4 months away.

They look small to me. I don't train plants like that, so my estimates wouldn't be as good as those who do. Still, I'd say 2 oz per plant would be optimistic. My advice is the same as the others: Give them a few more weeks.

OK 👍 I will try my patience for another week or 2 hopefully I am not herming them I have been back and forth on my decision on flip lol

Look on the bright side...if they do herm, they'll probably wait until a couple weeks into flower. 😁

I digress... Are you thinking per plant? So, at 2 ounces per plant, that's six ounces as a baseline. At sixfold, that's as much as 36 ounces? Really? If so, I need to quit growing and find a new hobby.

Total, based on about 5 unfounded assumptions. I can't tell how big the space is, so I'm just guessing on plant/canopy size.

So, you can get over two pounds from three plants in a space that size?

I guessed that if he flips now, he'll get between one and two ounces total. If he vegges out the space, and the space is around 2x4, he might get six to eight ounces total. My "four to six" multiplier was a little hand-wavy. PLEASE UNDERSTAND I'M JUST GUESSING.
