HELP! First Grow Question

[Shady317]

I have started my first grow. I did some research before starting but want actual opinions from people with experience. I started my grow with 4 plants only using bag seed. I know every strain is different but I want to get a good handle on the waterering, light, soil, etc. Anyway, my question is, I had sprouts on 3/11 and put my jiffy pot with seedling mix inside my pots and in my 2 x 2 x 4 tent with a 600w full spectrum LED light. 4 in. Inline fan for clean air. I’m using FloraNova Grow for nutrients right now doing a 3 to 1 with pure water. 18/6 light cycle. The pictures I’m attaching are of today’s 4/5/20 growth. My main question, based on my dimensions of 2 x 2 x 4 with light extending about 6 inches down from the top. When should I start flowering with bag seed strain unknown??

Bag seed ain't necessarily garbage. I'd grow em out & git all you can from em.

I'm not sure as I haven't grown for 7 years and just started again. I used to grow with CFL's as the I couldn't get my 300w LED to work (always too close I'm thinking now). I just asked a question about one drooping plant with my 400w dual spectrum light that is 42" away and I am 2 weeks after breaking through soil with Coco Coir. I would be interested to hear what you think about my plants. I feel your LED is too powerful and too close but would really like to hear from someone with LED experience as I am only guessing

Honestly I think you are going to have root issues with those smaller pots, if you can bump up to 3 gallon pots I would say to top the plants and use LST techniques and you could veg for about 5 weeks before you flip. Being bag seeds a couple with probably turn out to be male which will give you a little more elbow room to LST the females to limit their height. Happy growing!

I plan to test everything with these bag seeds. Then have some better seeds put back, then eventually buying high quality from a bank. Probably something autoflower and short and bushy. That’s why I was inquiring about going 12/12 earlier to reduce height.

Earlier sure- like a ft or 2 tall. I thought you meant now lol.

That will reduce their growth, you can top them and LST also.
