Flowering growth question..

Alright well I was under the impression that the plants will grow larger in (height) during the flowering stage, is that right or wrong, I was at a buddies and he convinced me they won't grow taller during flowering, but then I read contradictive things to that all day, someone help meh ! heh thanks in advance ;p

Plants can double in height during flowering but once the buds start growing that will stop.

hmm, my plants are 20 inches think nows good ?

and thanks for that response by the way

quick - if you are in a rush then yeah you can switch to flower but otherwise wait for the pre-flowers to show.

Yeah i'm definately in no hurry I'm probably going to try to get them to 30 inches, that would be ideal even if they doubled where I have them growing...

Do you know if it is ok to or even smart to spin plants 180 under light ? I have expeiremented in doing this and it seems that it shocks the plant and the leaves will try to spin, almost like it confuses them... ?

I'm afraid to even touch this one! Mainly because you will hear so many different opinions. But Budda is on the right track!

Yeah it's weird, this is the one question that i've never gotten a real solid answer on

but its understandable that the plant will grow in height during the first few weeks of switching to 12/12 and stop after its fully in flower mode...

Rotate your plants? I rotate mine all the time at 90 degrees 4 x a day, and front to back once a day. Helps with even growth.

ya that was my intention but it seemed to mess them up, o well it was probably some other newbtastic thing i did to them, ill keep on spinnin thanks guys

If ever you need some good solid advice, Garden Knowm and Widow Maker is a good choice for info! There are others as well, but that is where I would start.

Appreciate it, yeah i'm new to forum, seemed like a friendly one, thanks guys.

I flowered my white widow at 12" inches high its now nearly 5 foot 3 weeks into flowering it depends on how much indica/sativa your plant is as to how much it will grow. If you grew to 30" before flowering it could well finish at 90" maybe more.

what you will find is that a sativa will triple during flower if not more,and a indica will double in height.i grew northern light which was primarily indica and that tripled in height.so really the question is what strain are you growing cos there gonna get big.

30 inches? your going to have a monster on yours hands. Mine pulled a quick double in size when i set 12/12.

My plant exploded when I went to boom. In the two weeks after I started the bloom cycle, my plant doubled in size, at least. I'm not saying this is true for everyone. I'm sure a lot of it depends on what strain of plant U'r growing, and the growing method U'r using (i.e; Soil, hydro, indoor, outdoor,etc.)

My friend started to flower a week and a half ago and his plants have grown around 8 inches taller and alot more bushy. I've always heard the'll get 2-3 times as tall when you start to flower

like i said sative will triple or better and indica will at least double .so hope you have some serious head height .good luck

newb to growing so I ask you this: Once I harvest do I need to go through a new veg stage, or do I go right back to flower again? Sorry if this is a redundant question and thanks in advance for your input.
