When is this ready for flower mode? (pics)

[Baz]

Hi, my plant is over 6 weeks old and 9 inch tall my grow room is 7ft high, just been repotted and just wondering when its ready for flowering mode, i its up to me and could do it now but was wanting to know if i will get a decent yield off it or should i let it veg a bit longer?

i wouldnt flower it yet. did it sex yet? me personally i like to let them get about 20 in to 24 in tall before flowering. but like you said it is up to you. but if they havent sexxed then atleast wait for that.

 

[Baz]

oh i thought u could only sex them once they were in flowering mode

i think hes talking about preflowers...

its up to you man, but i would wait till its a foot tall atleast.

the bigger you let it get the more it will yield so keep that in mind

sorry im quite new to this, are preflowers the new leafs that grow at the base of the old fanleafs?

 

[TodayIsAGreenday]

its all good brother... im trying to find a way to describe it cuz there SO small... and they wont show untill your plant is fully mature i HIGHLY doubt your plant has them yet but they will be at the node like beneath the fan leaf stem and the stem of the new growth and its REALLY hard to distinguish the male from the female unless your an expert

thats a prety good example

 

[Baz]

Ok thanks for that, i doubt mine has them either, but i will be looking out

so are you gonna let em get a little taller b4 your throw them into flower?

 

[Baz]

Yes, im going to wait a few more week, after what you guys a re saying since its 7' tall growroom i should be ok right does it grow fast in flower mode its growing just over an inch a day in veg mode

 

[TodayIsAGreenday]

when it starts to flower youll have an explosive growth where it like almost doubles in size then it will completey stop growing taller and focus all of its energy towards the buds

Your nodes are splitting two by two. When they start splitting one by one, you'll get the preflowers and it should be ready to flip. Tear those bottom leaves off and foiler spray it with some type of nitrogen formula. It looks deficient and a little scrony. I think its still to young to flip.

 

[Baz]

Just been having a look at it with a magnifying glass and where the nodees grow from the stem where the new leafs are sprouting away from the stem above the old node it has a tiny little green hair either side of it

 

[Blow4Life]

That ain't what your looking for Baz. The nodes will grow one by one before you see the preflowers. Sorry man but it just ain't ready yet.

 

[Baz]

Sorry for the crude sketch but this is the stage its at too early?

yeah its all up to what you wanna do how high you want your plant and the yield that you want them to be. You will be able to tell when the pre-flowers come in the grow to the side of the node and when they pre-flower you will be able to notice in a few days if its clusters of 'balls' (the pollen sacks) males. and if there are little white hairs comeing from 'pear shape growth' now the thing about pre-flowers is it depends on the strain I couldn't tell weather it was male or female till I switched the lights to 12/12 but remember it wouldn't get over 2 feet if you started that cycle now. So keep checking and see if they pre-flower, if not and they get to the hight you want them then switch to 12/12 hope that helps

the little green hairs are nothing they are just there... there not there my friend just wait a couple weeks throw it into flower and kill the males

 

[Blow4Life]

This is good to know, I wondered why my buds weren't growing so much but the plant is getting taller.

thanks and + rep for you.
