Hi, my names Vanessa. I have a couple of little plants here that I think may be ready to flower. If I put a picture or two would someone here comment? I'm very new to all this.

ok thanks here they are Critical Kush 7 wks from seed they are under a 400w mh, just taken out the tent for a picture, and following some threads here I have supercropped them and they have been topped a few times as well. They are in the hempy bucket method.

I want to give them another week of veg? oh, also they are about 12 inch tall, but I have purposely tried keeping them short

Hello Vanessa, and welcome to RIU. Your plants look beautiful. You can wait a week to start flowering, or you can do it now. The choice is completely yours.

Id wait. Give um a couple weeks and see what they do. I don't know hempy but I can tell you the will take off when you let um. Just takes time. What are you using for flower?

thanks friend. I did have a small issue with a little bug in the tent a week ago, you may see some damage and some leaf I removed.

400w hps for flower

I think your plants look great too.
You've been trying to keep them short on purpose so think about it this way; they will probably double or triple in size when they flower.
The choice is up to you; the longer they veg. the more you will get from them, the shorter they veg. the smaller plant and the less you will get from them.

so perhaps then I should just leave them be for two weeks (ie, no more supercropping or topping) just let them go? sounds like a plan?

Yes a 400 watt HPS should be fine for 2 smaller plants.

hi Stomper, My tent is 1.2 x 1.2 x 2mtr. so plenty of room but I know that 400w can only penetrate so far, that's why I didn't want them much bigger than 18inch before flower. I would like 2 ounces a plant , that's just what I'd like, but hey i'd be happy with anything, because I know this is all a learning experience, its great fun too! x

Yea, heres what I did. Throw 1 in flower now, wait a week and do another. and so on...Perpetual growing is the only way for me, I eat a lot of it. You only have 1 light, switchable right? Set up a lil veg room if you can so you get a head start. Use 6 cfls and a fan for lil ones and keep growing Take clones if you can...Its realy easy!

Yea, its more fun as you go. Its kinda expensive at first but anything is these days. You have small room so make the best of it. Just remebr to take clones. Then you cant loose. Youll see as you go. They FREAK under 12/12
