Wondering when I should Flip?

Yeah looks like the light is probably less than two hundred true watts. If you flower with it your nugs will be small ish and growth not super substantial. Ive seen people do it with less but they weren't stoked with the results
It says it Replaces a 600 watt HPS/MH. What should I be using to flower?

How big is your space? Everyone on this site will want you to use a quantum board from HLG. Theyre very well made, have a legit warranty, and are made stateside. There are cheaper options such as meiju which would be a Chinese company. Less quality control, no warranties, etc. Really you should spend a few days researching to determine what is best for you.
And as far as them saying it replaces a 600w... well you can say all kinds of stuff

My space is 4X4. I understand about them just saying whatever!!! like Trump. I was worried about same thing after I bought. I found what I thought was a legit review of lights. It was very Scientific, and appeared to be unbiased.

You probably need at least near 500 true watts in that space. Keep in mind actual draw, most of these lights are advertised as MiniMaxGrowTastic 1800 watt LED for 500 bucks! but it's really 300 watts actual draw.

If you ask what kind of lights here, be prepared for what can become an hell of a conversation with a lot of angst. Lol.

My next lights I am getting for my new area I am building are going to be High Lights from Grow Lights Australia personally.

More important than space is how many plants too. I run a mars hydro tsw2000 (not a great brand. Cheap though at 250) for my veg tent. I can stack 4 small autoflowers right under the light and get enough side lighting to veg a bunch more. And the autos directly under the light average 3oz per plant. This is not an ideal way to do things but showing you its possible. That light is 300 actual watts and more importantly the spectrum of light is better than blurple. Here my veg tent right now

I'm looking at the tsw2000. Is it enough to Finnish my 4 ladies appropriately in my 4X4. Seams like the most bang for my buck. Trying not to cheap out, but the budget is what it is.

I'll try to keep this short & sweet

Trying to start perpetual harvest. Getting anxious and ready to see some buds. I was going to cut clones and flower those when i saw roots but should I just start flowering and then cut some during first few weeks of flower?
My main concern is being able to preserve the phenos that I like, & getting at-least 1-2 ounce per plant
Should I atleast put in bigger pots?? or who cares?
Majority are currently in 1 gallon pots
Big one on the left is looking Indica dominant. Wanted to make her a mother but I want to go ahead and flower her out to see what the bud is like. Impatient

Setup:
3 Lemon jellato reg seeds (DVG)
3 gellatti x runtz reg seeds (Clearwater)
1 Purple punch auto (Barneys for fun)
Migro ARAY 240W (Ordering another soon for full tent coverage)
4x4 tent, ffof soil and FF dry amendments
1 gallon smart pots

Plants are looking good after getting new light for flower because you guys caught my light deficiency . Thank you People!!!!!! I have a grow Journal on a site my wife built for me... tell me watcha think. Growdaddy.tvView attachment 4765782View attachment 4765783View attachment 4765784View attachment 4765785
Now all you got to do is wait. Many topics covered on this site:
I've gotten interesting results at four weeks flower but get better return going five weeks.
Veg can continue for two years if so desired. Wonder of indoor grow. I'm sure large pot like yours might take six but no more.

Wait, what!? From your grow journal I read that you're only at the end of 3 weeks of flowering? What kind of genetics are you running there? My plants at the end of 3 weeks are usually in the fluffy cute "budlet" stage. That's insane.

Did you see my journal on growdaddy.tv? I flipped them November 11. They didn't show flowering for two weeks I think I documented on the 27 of November I saw real buds forming... I was told flowering doesn't start until you see buds starting to form. My pic's say it all. In three weeks they became Ladies, I got a new light after about a week after flip. Any success is because of the new light. Not sure what your asking... There just some seeds I got og kush.. First grow so I don't know what's normal... Thanks?

LOL okay, I apologize for the misunderstanding. I guess I took that as 3 weeks from flip to 12/12 and freaked out because I was too lazy and stoned to do the math. :P

I know what looks normal, and considering you flipped November 11 I'd say they look great! But honestly, I have a hard time believing that it's your first grow with all those pots of meticulously trained plants you have growing in there. Credit to your wife though, good job on the grow website!

Edit: Added "web" to "site" for obvious reasons to avoid misunderstandings. lol
