Hey guys, now i am coming up to my fourth week of my first grow, all my babys are indicas and as some will already know i have limited height 30inches in total but if i make adjustments i could squeeze about 45inches out, now i was planning on flipping them this week but my only problem is there all still really short ranging from about 5 to 7inches, but all are bushy as hell and look pretty good, im just wondering if there to small to flip? I have topped all my plants but that was about a week ago now, heres some pics tell us what u think, id love to be able to flip asap

Hey buddy looking nice...if you've got at least 30in then I would wait a bit longer, say 12in. The ladies will double or triple in size from veg, so if you flip at 12in they should end up 30in more or less. Good luck

The yellow or burnt tips are usually a sign of nute burn, nothing to worry about just now but take it easy from now on. Never use the recommended amounts, always half it & then judge.

Also if you have height restrictions you can alway LST - you can tie the stems down so they grow sideways instead...therefore theoritically you could veg for even longer. Plenty of info on this around the forum.

Yes well ive been bending my branches out for about a week now, i was gonna super crop but i think ill leave that for next time, im sure ill manage it, if they do start to get a little tall i will just litrally tie the branches down, but judging by there growth there more likely to stay short and bushy, heres hoping, ill keep this post updated with my progress.

At 5"-7" I'd say you could expect to get about 14"-18" finished. FWIW your plants still have opposing growth nodes indicating imaturity, but you may already know that.

Oh no. I'm sure it'll flower now and due to your height restrictions it's probably best to do so. I would add more food to your feeding as you're yellowing. Try and keep those leaves green

I agree on all info so far...

They will double in size after the flip. They also look hungry!

What is that they are growing in?

What are you feeding them?

I havnt fed them for 3 days, there in 15 litre tubs and im feeding them veg a and b, and 2 other feeds that help root development, not sure what there called though, ill show u some pics when the lights go on everytime i feed them, after the dark period they look so much healither, i only give them a litre of water each every 2 or 3 days, dont wanna drown them

Ah... OK.

I have no experience with coco. I would bump the nutes up a hair for the yellowing as I don't see tip burn.

It almost looks like the tips are just dying back in the pics. I would think there would be a lot more dark green if they were over fed.

But what do I know! I am a long time beginner....
