nice looking plants, you waited too lobg to switch to 12/12 IMO..what is that like 6/7 weeks into veg? thats a really long time..what type of lighting are you using during flower? you will be fine if your using a HID and switch them out of those small pots...

Id feed some type of bllom nutes. You def need to transplant as Im sure your root bound bad as can be in those tiny pots. Those pots were good up to about 3 or 4 inch tall plants then you just choked them off

transplanting will shock your thingies. you will/should give them time to recover before you flower.

When you transplant just use some superthrive, it's really good to have if your a soil grower and it will prevent transplant shock... you really need to because those pots are fucking TINEY!

You can try but there wont be much. I tried 8 48" 2 tube shop lights with upgraded bulbs on 4 plants back in the day and got like 12 grams total from all the plants.You can technically do a flower but the yield is less then the cost of the elctriciy or the water or the lights

Yea those tubes only put out usable light for 10 inches. Your plants are going to be like 60 inches. Get a 400watt hps or the minimum a 250watt

Dam those are small pot , you will need to separate the root ball carefully when you transplant , if it becomes root bound your plants could pay the ultimate price or even die !!!
