Started these two from seeds in April. They are about four months old, in a greenhouse with supplemental t5 light and a fan. I've been growing them in an organic soil mixture of two parts composted chicken manure, 1 part aged horse manure, and 1 part spent potting soil - same as my squash and tomatoes :). . I topped both plants (haze hybrids) about a month ago and have super cropped one of them. The super cropped plant just showed first signs of flowering. The upright one has not. Should I switch to 12/12 and start covering them at night? Switch to flowering nuts?

This is my first grow so I appreciate any suggestions.

Why light deprive them? Do you have a short season? 12/12 does not apply outdoors. Plants willl flower when the daylight hours drop to 14.5 hours or lower depending on strain. I wouldn't switch to bloom formula yet. I would still feed veg until the stretch is over.
