Before you jump on board with all the different methods people are using.... try doing alot more reading and decide which method and set-up is best suited for you. Putting plants into flowering at 6" tall is a generally used in a Sea of Green method. They are trying to grow plants that are short w/ big single cola buds on them. Great method but it only works if you have clones from the same mother to start with. They all need to grow at the same rate AND the clones are already mature so they can be sent into flowering early. When growing from seed or w/ different clones from different mothers.. youre going to get plants that grow at different rates. Youre posts are full of "i heard", i would really recommend doing a ton more reading for yourself. As far as when a plant should be sent into flowering..... it has less to do with height and more to do with the age of the plant. Good luckwhats up guys Thanks for all the help I think I got my baby's back I dont know what I was doing. but they look alot ALOT better. I think this weekend I am going to start them on a 12/12 get it going cause my plants are big and they are still 18/6 vegg'n and Iheard people flower there plants at like 6 inchs and both of mine are already over a foot long. and I went to my local hydro store and got better bulbs for my T-5 I got 4 blue and 4 red Ive heard from multiple people Using CFL's im not gonna get a huge yield like i would if i was using the HPS lights or whatever there called the 400/600/100/ watt lights the sodium ones but I will have a better chance with the rednblue bulbs better light spectrum or sum shit I just want some free bud damn it why cant this shit just grow on trees? I guess that would take all the fun out of it but anyway do you guys think its a good time to start flowering? because I heard it takes like 7-10 weeks or more to flower all the way so im pretty sure there gonna grow on a 12/12 but if anyone has some good advice i would love to hear it before I go and do it thanks everyone
