I have no clue - 5 weeks after sprout WW photos

[crunchyfrog]

These seem a little bushy to me however, I really do not have a clue. First grow you know... looking for feedback...

They look fine for now - you want them to be bushy

Yes, everything I am reading says the even first timers like me can make it through the vegetative stage relatively well (I know I have made multiple mistakes and I think I am okay so far). So I am doing good as these are pretty damn bushy.... So, how far I am from flip to 12/12 (WW photos ~5 weeks from sprout)?

Your as far as you want to be from flopping to 1212. How big do you want them? How tall can they get before you run out of room (height) keeping in mind they can up to double in height once you switch to 12 12. They look nice and healthy. Me I trim leaves here and there through veg just so the air can flow through the plant so all the leaves can soak in the max amount of CO2 then when I switch the lights that's when I take lots of the big leaves off the plant.
So how tall is your tent? We can start there, minus the height of the pots and minus how much room the light takes at the top of the tent. Then you have to consider how far the plants have to stay from the light before they start to burn..so....I have an 8 foot high tent with 800ish watts of lights hanging above so a 2 foot pot, light clearance 8 inch from ceiling. Lights need to stay 16 inch from the plants. So that would come out to 4 feet so in my 8 foot tent I can grow a legitimately 4 foot plant between top of pit and the light. Hope this helps

Jordann , thanks. In my third photo above you can see my tent 4 x 4 x 8 and my four WW photos and it looks to me like I could wait a while (week to two weeks) before flipping. Their growth rate, as measured by total leaf area, seems to be exponential to me so I am looking fo experiences of others.

The first 2 pics are the day I switched to flower and the tallest plant in the middle of the third picture is the same plant yesterday. Atleast double height.

Thank you for sharing your photos. A recent visit to Nova Scotia (one of the most beautiful places left on Earth) contributed to my growing effort. Take care.
