First signs of flowering??

[guest9222]

My lights are at 18 / 6 ..6 weeks from seed
should I turn 12 / 12?

 

[Smokesteve]

Yes go to 12/12!

If you don't want to veg any longer then go for it.

 

[guest9222]

Hmmm .. they look small , I think I will wait 1 week more

Ya give em another week then switch. I would thin all the bottom leaves too to add more airflow. I assume these are photoperiod not Autos.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Are they all gathered together do to light? Why do they sit on the floor? Do you have 2 tents going?

 

[JuanHondo]

if pistils showing during 18/6, should be an auto, yeah?

 

[MeEasy]

No some photos will start showing some preflower before you switch to 12s, kind of a pain because they will slow or stop growing even if you stay in veg but will still stretch after you do switch. Mother nature is strange sometimes just when you think you are in control she'll slap you with something different

 

[JuanHondo]

pre flowers sure...but pistils?

 

[Smokesteve]

I've had a few plants over the years that start showing pistils in 18/6 and I know others have as well.

 

[MeEasy]

That's what I was talking about when I said preflower

 

[JuanHondo]

ok, I was hoping pistils were a strong indicator of "auto-ing"...i have one plant going that I think is an auto and not sure how to tell for sure...

 

[MeEasy]

Once you see a couple hairs/pistils in a week they will look like little hedgehogs crawling around on your plant. Once they start they really pop into a bunch of hairs. If that doesn't happen then it's waiting for the light change

 

[guest9222]

Yes
Not anymore
Yes

[MeEasy]

What lights are you using? Two switch veg flower?

 

[guest9222]

I have 3 x Gc 16 led
1 led in 1.5 m /1.5m/2m tent ... 10 plants
2 leds in 3 m / 2m/2m tent ... 17 plants

 

[MeEasy]

I was just curious because you said it had different veg and flower. I was using some old blurple lights for a couple years and they had the two switches one veg other flower and the only time I didn't have both switches on was the first two weeks with the seedlings and I was wondering if your lights were the same setup. They are kinda except alot more wattage. Yours has enough on the veg side to veg with unlike the ones I had. Do you run them full 513w during flower? I think I would

 

[guest9222]

More light more buds

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well do show us how those lights grow lots of buds. Looking forward to this :smile:
