I'm using a 4X4X7 Grow tent lined with mylar and a 400 watt MH light on a MH/HPS swithable ballast with a regualr fan inside blowing air around. I have 3 trainwreck and 3 masterkush plants both feminsied. Their on day 15 since they came out of the ground. I am using grow boost nutrient and when I switch to bloom I will swith the light to 400 Watt HPS and bloom booster nutrient. I was wondering how much longer I should wait until I put my plants into 12/12 and also how much of a yeild am I looking at? And if anyone can gice me any suggestions on getting maxium yeild out of this grow.
Cheers!
Very nice strain selection! And welcome to RIU.org
Mind if I pull up a seat to watch this grow? Thanks...
A general rule of thumb to indoor gardening is to let the plant mature...usually around 4-6 weeks old (5th to 6th node), or when they show preflowers when under veg.
This means the plants are ready to f*ck and they'll transition nicely switched to 12/12 without much stress.
But when space is an issue, some people opt to switch to 12/12 prior to sexual maturity and force flower. The plant will still continue to grow vegetatively until sexual maturity even when started 12/12 from seed.
Thus, this brings us to topping, supercropping, SCROG'ing and LST'ing to control height issues and allow the plant to veg to its sexual maturity without having to worry about height constraints.
