Hello I have a few questions, I'm a first time grower and wanted to find out some information. 1. How long should you veg from seed, 2. When should you clone, 3. When to flip plant to flower. I have a 4 by 2by 5 foot tent and a 300 watt led with carbon filter with a fan.

  1. As long as size permits, strain and style of grow.
  2. 8 weeks is recommended.
  3. When you have reached the size you want. Depending on strain, the plant can stretch between 100-300%. This is where the style comes in to maximize yield to space

    Greetings BTW and welcome.

Thanks Cx2h for the info. My plant is at 5 weeks into veg and the strain is sour diesel.

RECOMMENDATIONS & NOTES
  • Good for sea of green (SOG) or screen of green (SCROG) operations
  • Stretches tall during the first 3 weeks of flowering
  • Reservoir Seeds recommends a soil pH level of 5.8 to 6.0
  • Grows best in warm, slightly arid environments up to 88°F (31°C) and rich in CO2

Hopefully you have done some training techniques if you are going to veg longer than 4 weeks with a 5 foot tall tent. I have a 5 foot tall tent and topped my plants a few times and only vegged for 4 weeks and after my Blue Dream stopped stretching in flower the buds are only about 12in from my led lights with the lights maxed out for height. Give or take a few inchs. Just my thoughts on your tent size. By the way hope you have a great grow and enjoy yourself.

Not to be contrarian, but just to add a bit...

Yes, most suggest that mothers are at least 2 months old, but of course older is fine and younger can be...in a pinch. Mother plant should also be in veg state, but it also is possible to get clones from those in flower...while time length to rooting increases with each week since flip it seems.

My experience only includes 2 strains but neither come close to doubling in size post flip. 33% maybe. I would really have to witness a 2ft plant become a 6 ft plant to believe it. :). I contend that it is often quoted but seldom really experienced. At least not with many flipped after reaching 2'. But sure, if you do not know the strain and ceiling height is tight it is probably a good idea to leave plenty of room.

You will also need all your cloning materials as well.
1. Clonex.
2. Humidity Dome and Heat Mat(opt).
Depending on your ability to obtain all your needs. Id focus on just one plant and learn all you can on your first grow unlike me.. And by your next grow youll will be ahead more than your first grow. So before you flower start stratigizing and preparing for your next grow.

VenomGrower6990- I haven't done any training but the way it's growing it's 8 inches tall and 20 inches wide. So about how much bigger you think will it get?
