I need to harvest my plants by MAY 17th...

So, Just found out that I have to move by May 17th, because my landlords home is going into foreclosure (It'd be nice to know what the fuck I'm paying 1,000 dollars a month for then) anyways, so this means that I absolutely have to harvest my plants by then. They're almost a month old now from seed, are about a hand tall (woman size hand lol), and have alternating branches.

Think its okay to put them into flower now? I've read it'll be about 14 days under 12/12 until I can determine sex definitely, so I'm basically just trying to estimate if there will be enough time. I don't know what strain they are either, they're bag seeds, but definitely look like some kind of indica to me cause of the fat leaves.

Any helps appreciated!

Just put them into flower on the 1st of March. That should give you plenty of time

I agree. It should give you a 10 weeks to flower.

agreed with what they said. next thing you gotta worry is the dry and cure. do you have somewhere to dry at for afew days?

Gonna have to dry them at some point as well...you probably don't want to be moving a box full of freshly harvested bud. Factor in a few days for that too.

You should probably just go ahead and do it now.

Hello: Can you supply a pic? What kind of lighting are you using? Most Indicas will finish in 8-10 weeks time once flowering is started. You can speed up the time it takes to finish flowering by changing you light cycle to 10 hours on and 14 hours off. This will decrease yield slightly.

Given the size of your setup and the equipment you're using, I would agree with Jerry and say the sooner the better. Post a cpl recent pics of them when you have a chance. Without using any fancy tools for drying, my buds take 1-2 weeks to dry at 50% humidity. Flowering them earlier while the plants are small will give you some nice colas and minimize the weaker buds while keeping them short and suiting your growing area. The plants will still increase significantly in size during flower. Earlier harvest will allow you to make sure they're dry and everything is cleaned up. BONUS? You can smoke some of your crops while you pack! I saw your pics from 2/21 and I would think you can get 1/2 oz or more from each female with that setup flowering now.

Thanks for all of your input, and here are some recent pictures They look pretty good to me, they're almost a month from seed...

Yeah I would have to agree with the posters above, march 1st switch to 12/12, should give you plenty of time,
Is this your first grow?
I like the poem on the last plant, just curious what does that tattoo on your chest say?

Nice quote.

can we trade info, tit for tat, so to speak? j/k

a 10 week window is a good avg for budding plants, sativas can go longer, but you can harvest early if you have too

lol, I'll see what I can do & I'm planning on transplanting into 3gallon pots tonight, then giving them a couple days to get over the stress & putting them into flower

sounds like a plan, i think you should be good.

You should get some nice colas from those, they look good.
